MALAYSIA'S most iconic amateur golf tournament is back and bigger than ever. Carlsberg Golf Classic (CGC) returns for its 32nd edition, bringing with it RM2.7m in prizes, 32 qualifying rounds nationwide, and a grand finale on one of Asia's most elite courses – the West Course at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club (KLGCC).
More than just a competition, CGC has become a rite of passage for Malaysia's golfing community. Through its ongoing commitment to the golfing scene, Carlsberg continues to grow the game from the grassroots up, hosting tournaments that are inclusive, sociable, and true to the enjoyment of the sport.
Participants can always expect not just top-tier prizes, but also top-tier hospitality, camaraderie, and a tournament environment that is sure to last a lifetime. From avid golfers to casual fans, CGC is designed to deliver a holistic experience on and off the course – pairing the spirit of competition with #BestWithCarlsberg moments of celebration, over a well-earned ice-cold beer.
'For over three decades, the Carlsberg Golf Classic has stood as a symbol of our dedication to the golfing community. It goes beyond the game – it's about passion, friendships, and unforgettable moments shared on the green. This year, we're proud to raise the bar yet again with unmatched prizes and experiences. We believe great things happen when the love of golf meets the enjoyment of a perfectly brewed Carlsberg. That's what makes it truly #BestWithCarlsberg,' said Stefano Clini, Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia.
From June to October, over 3,600 golfers will tee off across 32 clubs nationwide – including 16 in Klang Valley, seven in the South, five in East Malaysia, and four in the North. Making a return to this year's lineup is A'Famosa Golf Resort in Malacca, adding to the diverse mix of championship courses and enriching the Southern leg of the series. The journey culminates on 7 November at KLGCC, where 32 National Finalists will play on a course prepped to professional standards just days after the LPGA's biggest stars.
This year, CGC also boasts its strongest sponsor lineup yet. New to the roster is Auto Bavaria (BMW), offering two BMW iX2 xDrive30 M Sport models (worth RM299,600 each) as Hole-in-One prizes at the National Final – setting the tone for high performance and power both on the course and in the prize pool.
Returning powerhouses adidas, TaylorMade, and Garmin are bringing their A-game to the fairway with prizes that blend innovation, performance, and style. Golfers can look forward to suiting up in the adidas Dress Like a PRO kit (worth RM5,000), delivering the sleek confidence of a tour pro.

For the tech-savvy golfer, Garmin's Approach R50 Golf Simulator & Launch Monitor (worth RM23,999) offers real-time data and precision – bringing next-level performance straight to your fingertips.
njecting fresh energy into the lineup are Vespa and Le Botanical.

Both prizes come with 12 cartons of Carlsberg for anyone lucky and skilled enough to snag them. Meanwhile, Le Botanical, a natural sunscreen, provides golfers with everyday sun protection on and off the course.

2 New Drops From CDG x Vans & Adidas Walk The Talk & The Walk!
Two new footwear collections have just arrived, and they combine comfort and style in a magical way. This week, we highlight an amazing collaboration; and kicks so lovely, you won't let them touch the ground. CDG x Vans Authentic Vans and COMME des GARïONS collaborate once more to reissue the Vans Authentic, the brand's iconic low-top, lace-up silhouette. This re-release maintains the bold CDG branding and graphic overlays on a clean white upper, staying faithful to the original 2018 design. The noticeable CDG patch, which gives the shoe its distinctive identity, is a noteworthy detail. The redesigned insole, which now sports the Vans 'OTW' logo branding, is one significant update in this edition. It is a subtle yet noticeable departure from the original pair. The shoe offers everyday wearability with a sophisticated edge while retaining its high-end, luxurious appearance. The CDG x Vans Authentic will be available later this month and only through CDG's website and store. adidas Samba 'Real Madrid' A special edition of adidas's renowned Samba sneaker has been released in honour of Real Madrid, one of the most illustrious football teams in history. This release is a component of a larger 'Club-Themed Samba Pack' for the 2025–2026 season, which coincides with the FIFA Club World Cup and the introduction of new club uniforms. The adidas Samba OG 'Real Madrid' is a multipurpose lifestyle sneaker that prioritises sophisticated style over ostentatious fandom. The base is a crisp Cloud White leather upper. Real Madrid's illustrious reputation and countless triumphs are symbolised by the Light Solid Grey Three Stripes and heel details, as well as delicate gold accents. The tongue proudly displays the Real Madrid crest in full colour. It keeps the well-liked Samba silhouette, which is distinguished by its classic gum rubber outsole for superior stability and grip, soft leather upper, and suede T-toe overlay. The gold 'SAMBA' text on the side adds a bit of vintage branding. The adidas Samba 'Real Madrid' is in stores now for US$110 (~RM467) and can be purchased through adidas's official website.

Saying 'Yes' To Football & Beer Turned Out To Be THE BEST Weekend
I've always been a football guy. From kicking balls around the field to planning my entire week around match days. I even queued for hours outside Bukit Jalil just to catch our local heroes live. Collecting jerseys became a full-blown obsession. And no matter what, I'll always be up til late, Carlsberg in hand, lepak-ing with friends in the middle of all the noise and football madness. (Credit: Lifestylememory/Freepik) But then… life happened. Work got hectic, schedules clashed, and 'No, maybe next time' turned into my default excuse. Slowly, those football nights fizzled out. The group chats went silent, and game nights? Well, they became a rare occasion. Until one weekend, out of nowhere, a friend texted: 'Football watch party tonight. You coming?' It was so random because I know that this friend wasn't even into football. I almost turned it down, but my curiosity got the better of me. Why was someone who usually doesn't care about football suddenly so interested in the game? I thought… So I replied, 'Yes, I'm in.' That 'yes' landed me at the #CarlsCrib event at JAM, Petaling Jaya, for two whole nights. And from the moment I walked in, I knew I had made the right call. The crowd was buzzing, people were laughing, music was pumping, the big screen was lit, and yep, ice-cold Carlsbergs in everyone's hands. It wasn't just a regular football event. There were football challenges, games, giveaways and live sets by DJ VINAI, Pakho Chau, Dior, and DJ Nahsyk, bringing the house down. The vibes were absolutely next level. There were die-hard football fans, the usual casuals, even folks who couldn't name a single player—everyone was just soaking it all in. It felt like I'd stepped right into a football stadium surrounded by themed zones and activities that made the whole event come alive. Me and my friends even got our own private corner to enjoy the football watch party in total chill mode. Seriously, after two epic nights at #CarlsCrib, there's no way I'm missing the next football hangout. And you bet I'm replying 'Count me in!' to those 'All In for Game Nights' text messages. Why? Because football isn't just about the game… It's the rituals, the banter, the chaos, and how the best moments in life are always better when shared. And of course, always #BestWithCarlsberg. Thinking of hosting your own football party or saying 'yes' to that next invite? Carlsberg's got a promo that makes it even better! Grab your Carlsberg Danish Pilsner or Carlsberg Smooth Draught however you like it: A 6-pack from the supermarket, hypermarket, convenience store, 99 Speedmart, or online. A bucket or a set from participating bars, pubs, or restaurants. Or 3 big bottles from participating kopitiam or food court. And just like that, you could be in the running to win a trip to catch Liverpool FC live at Anfield! Yup—Carlsberg's sending 10 lucky fans (with a plus one each), and there are over 1,300 retro Liverpool jerseys up for grabs too. Altogether, the prizes are worth up to RM1 million. So what are you waiting for? Check out the *For 21+ non-Muslims only. If you drink, don't drive. #BestWithCarlsberg #CarlsCrib #CarlsbergMY #CelebrateResponsibly Get more stories like this to your inbox by signing up for our newsletter.
