PSC Steps in to Support 108th Philippine Open with $1 Million Prize
WHY IT MATTERS
The Philippine Open is a significant event in the country's golfing calendar, showcasing the talents of Filipino golfers and attracting international competitors. The PSC's support ensures the event's continuation, maintaining the country's pride in hosting Asia's oldest national golf championship.
What happened
The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) has pledged $1 million to support the 108th Philippine Open, a 72-hole championship on the Asian Tour. The event will be held at the Masters course of the Manila Southwoods in Carmona, Cavite, starting November 12.
The PSC aims to continue the tradition of hosting the event, which has been held yearly since 1913, except for seven times due to various reasons.
Filipino golfers, including Miguel Tabuena and Angelo Que, are expected to compete against foreign challengers, including last year's winner Julien Sale.
