Top corporate golfers set for WCGC Malaysia battles
A thrilling showdown among Malaysia's top corporate golfers is set to unfold as they vie for the honour of flying the Jalur Gemilang at the World Corporate Golf Challenge (WCGC) World Final in Shanghai from Oct 19 to 23.
The WCGC Malaysia will serve as the national qualifier, comprising five legs at some of Klang Valley's most prestigious golf courses, running from May to September.
The campaign tees off at Seri Selangor Golf Club on May 22, followed by stops at Tropicana Golf and Country Resort (June 24), Glenmarie Golf and Country Club (July 22), Templer Park Country Club (Aug 21), and concludes with the National Final at Kota Permai Golf and Country Club on Sept 25.
The tournament format features two-player teams representing their companies in each leg, with the overall champions of the National Final earning the coveted spot to represent Malaysia at the WCGC World Final.
Last year's Malaysian representatives, Robert Lee and Anushka Gayan of Leonian Malaysia, did the nation proud by finishing a commendable third at the World Final in Haikou, China.
The WCGC, renowned as one of the world's leading corporate golf tournaments, is held across 25 countries globally.
Adding prestige to the local event, Raja Muda of Selangor Tengku Amir Shah Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, who serves as royal patron of WCGC Malaysia, graced the official media launch held at Glenmarie Golf and Country Club on Wednesday.
