WCGC Philippines Hosts Golf Event to Drive Corporate Networking and Business Engagement

When I say the varied uses of sports, what comes to mind? Sports as a medium for a healthy lifestyle, learning team spirit, entertainment, and so on. Sports has got another dimension where it is being used for corporate socializing and networking.

A game where corporate wizards shall compete and, while playing, form connections with other business tycoons to hone the pot. Such an initiative is seen at the World Corporate Golf Challenge Philippines (WCGC), which, in collaboration with Premiere Sports Management Corporation, shall host the sporting event of the year in terms of a golf event. This event shall provide opportunities to these top executives and entrepreneurs to form solid corporate networks while also showcasing their athletic abilities.

This event shall be a mere qualifier for the World Final in Beijing, China scheduled to be held in October. The targeted event shall be held at the Mimosa Plus Golf Course, known for its splendid natural beauty and heavenly backdrop. The proposed dates for the event are 27-28 August. The initiative is also serving the vision of Philippines Sports Commission chairman Pato Gregorio of evolving the country as the next luxury golf spot.

“It's a social aspect that they do in helping grow the sport. Not only golf but other sports as well, and this is where our PSC is very much interested,” said WCGC PH Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Joey Fournier in the event of their media launch at the Mimosa Plus Golf Course in Clark, Pampanga.

Among other dignitaries at the launch were WCGC Chairman Jose Guerra, PSMC CEO Joyce Escandor, PSMC President Paulo Legaspi, PSMC Vice President Paul "Joki" Escandor, Mimosa Plus Golf Director Rory Young, PSMC Treasurer Angelo Fournier, and Tournament Director Jun Cedo.
