Sports television presenter Angus Scott will appear at O2 Golf Live from 14-16 May representing the Richard Burns Foundation, named after the 2001 World Rally Champion who died of brain cancer in 2005.

The event includes a three-hole challenge in which golf pros are teamed with celebrities, with the winner receiving £5000 to be donated to their chosen charity. Angus will be taking part in the challenge on Friday and if he wins, the money will go to the Richard Burns Foundation.

Amongst the golf pros competing will be 2010 Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie, double US Open champion Retief Goosen, world number 7 Paul Casey and world number 11 Ian Poulter.

The Golf Live event - which includes demonstrations, exhibitions, and competitions - is designed to appeal to golfers of all abilities and ages. It will be held at Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire, Great Britain. The venue is a luxurious 27-hole golf course and hotel designed in 1908, less than an hour away from London.

Angus will be up against a wide range of celebrities, including former Radio 1 presenter and avid golf fanatic DJ Spoony, as well as Britain's tennis hero Tim Henman. Although he will be playing in distinguished company, Angus has promised not to let the pressure get to him.

"There's going to be a lot of stiff competition out there, but as it's for charity I hope that it's at least going to be good natured!" he commented. "I'm sure that actually playing is going to be a lot harder and more nerve-wracking than presenting - particularly with someone like Colin Montgomerie watching you - but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that the prize money ends up going to the Richard Burns Foundation."

Angus formerly covered the World Rally Championship for ITV in Britain, before covering football for Setanta. He now fronts Al Jazeera's new English language sports channel based in London.

"I think the Richard Burns Foundation is a fantastic cause," he added. "The courage and determination that Richard displayed in the face of his terrible illness is an example to everyone, and of course it goes way beyond the sport of rallying. That's why it's particularly nice to see Richard's name out there amongst those of the top golf professionals and raise awareness of his Foundation in this way."
