Wales have won the Celebrity Cup for the first time, and couldn't have done it without a brilliant performance from Philip. 

Philip, who qualifies to play for Wales because of his mother, admitted to feeling apprehensive ahead of the tournament. "I am bum-clenchingly nervous,” he said before teeing off. “I prefer to go down the Bubba Watson route and have plenty of noise on the first tee. I hate that moment when it all goes silent, it’s terrifying.”

Despite his apparent nerves, Phil put in great performances to win his first two matches on Saturday, firstly paired with Andrew Howard against Ireland's Ronnie Whelan and Brian Ormond, and then alongside Gareth Bale to beat Scotland's Alan Hansen and Kenny Dalglish, with Phil netting a hole in one on the fourth. 

With Wales holding a narrow lead, Phil teamed up with team captain Rob Brydon for the third and final match on Sunday against England's Zoe Hardman and Matt Banahan. They won by two holes to set up a final against Scotland. 

For the final, Philip was playing alongside Andrew Howard once more and faced Kenny Dalglish and Alan Hansen. Wales won all three of the matches in the final, Philip and Andrew winning by two holes.

Thanks to fans that were there on the day, we have a good number of photographs from the event which can be found in our dedicated 2015 Celebrity Cup gallery. We also have two videos courtesy of Celtic Manor Resort; the first is of Philip teeing off in Saturday's match against Scotland, and the second is of the Welsh celebration, where Philip has a little bit of an issue getting the cork out of his champagne bottle!

The event was held at the Celtic Manor Resort and was in aid of the Caron Keating foundation.

Last week, Momentum held their tenth annual charity golf day and were joined by patron, Philip and a host of other celebrities including: Sky TV tennis presenter Barry Cowan, Bob Pugh from Game of Thrones, football legend Steve Coppell, George Asprey who plays Scar in The Lion King, comedian and writer Dominic Holland and Nick Knowles and Billy Byrne from DIY SOS.

Momentum have kindly provided us with two photos of Phil at the event, which you can see below. The winning team were from law firm Slater & Gordon, but Philip was not part of that team, but spectators say he playd well.

Thanks to ticket sales, several generous donations, matched funded players and an auction (hopsted by comedian Dominic Holland), the event raised just over £10500. Momentum would like to thank all who played or contributed.

We are pleased to announce that, thanks to visitors to this site buying through our online shop (in partnership with Amazon), we have today made a donation of £50 to Momentum, a charity of which Philip is patron, that aims to help children undergoing treatment for cancer in Surrey and Greater London.

In order to raise money for this years Children in Need appeal, the BBC are auctioning off the Audi Quattro that featured in Philip's hit 80's drama, Ashes to Ashes. 

This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a genuine piece of TV history - the original Audi Quattro used in all three series of the hit BBC drama Ashes to Ashes. The iconic red motor is also signed under the bonnet by Philip Glenister, who played its short-tempered owner, DCI Gene Hunt. This autumn, the Quattro was given a fresh MOT and a makeover. But she’s a former TV action vehicle and still has a number of battle scars from the exciting life she has led.

So, fire up your wallets if you want to fire up the Quattro, bidders!

Details:

• Red 1983 Audi Quattro
•  2144cc Turbo charged WR Engine
• Four-wheel (4x4) drive
• Freshly painted and with new MOT

The Audi Quattro has been donated by the BBC and lovingly restored by Audi. BBC Children in Need or Audi do not accept any responsibility for the car and can not offer any warranty or guarantee. All the images which feature were taken at the end of October 2014. The logistics of collecting the car must be agreed by all parties.

Every single penny raised by the auction will go towards making a positive difference to the lives of disadvantaged children and young people right here in the UK. To bid, visit the Quattro's ebay page.

It seems that no more than a few months can go by without us bringing you news of another celebrity golf tournament that Philip has signed up to play in.

This time he'll be heading to The Highlands to help raise money for Silver Rock Foundation, a newly established charity which aims to benefit young people in the area to develop self-confidence and creativity in young people in the fields of Arts, Music and Sport and Maggie's Highlands, a charity that offers free practical, emotional and social support to people with cancer and their family and friends.

Alongside, Sir Kenneth Branagh, Tom Ellis, Richard Coyle and others, Philip will tee off at Golspie Golf Club, Sutherland, on the 20th September. The 18-hole contest will be played by 24 teams, each including a celebrity. After the golf, there will be an evening reception in the grounds of historic Dunrobin Castle.

If you are interested in taking part in this event then please contact the organisers directly.

The second day of the Celebrity Cup got underway at Celtic Manor just after 10 o’clock this morning with Philip teaming up with Gareth Edwards to face Scotland’s Kenny Logan and Gavin Hastings. Wales were second to Scotland who were leading the table so it was important that Wales won as many holes as possible.

Sadly that wasn’t to be the case. Despite Phil having a better game in the third round (scoring a birdie and making par on several holes), he and Gareth could only draw with Kenny and Gavin – with both teams taking 4.5 holes. 

The other matches didn't got the right way either and Wales finished the group joint second with England on holes won, but England went through as they had played less shots overall. 

Despite this there was plenty of camaraderie between the stars in the morning session, as Gethin Jones and Rory Lawson paused for a hug, and Philip Glenister put his arm round Gavin Hastings shortly before they finished their final shots before lunch. When Glenister and Edwards lost drew with Scotland shortly after noon, Edwards told the crowd: "We'll be cheering on Woosy and all those guys in the coming weeks but it's our day today and you (Philip Glenister) really represented Wales."

Philip replied: "I was inspired, I was playing with a legend."

So Wales faced Ireland in a third place playoff this afternoon, with both teams eager not to finish last. Phil was paired with Andrew Howard and faced Danny O’Carroll and Martin O’Neill. Philip and Andrew actually lost their match 4-5, but it didn’t matter too much to the final result. In the end, it was Wales who prevailed, beating Ireland 15-12 to claim the third spot.  

England went on to win the final  – beating reigning champions Scotland - to be crowned 2014 winners
