MANILA, Philippines — A new season signals fresh opportunities but also a fresh wave of challenges in the Philippine Golf Tour kicking off with the ICTSI Pradera Verde Championship today in Lubao, Pampanga.
With a new batch of promising Q-School graduates eager to make their mark, the race for supremacy is wide open.
The ICTSI Pradera Verde Championship marks the official start of the 10-leg PGT circuit, with all of last year’s leg winners returning.
Yet, they won’t have an easy path to victory, as the new season introduces a new crop of hungry challengers, including 26 of the 30 Q-School qualifiers who battled grueling conditions at Splendido Taal to earn their Tour cards.
Among them, Korean standout Jeff Jung and former national team ace Carl Corpus, who finished 1-2 in the four-day elims, enter the fray armed with confidence and momentum.
The ICTSI Pradera Verde Championship also ushers in the new season of the Ladies PGT with one of the strongest fields ever assembled, including Asia Pacific Cup champion Princess Superal, reigning Order of Merit winner Harmie Constantino and multi-titled Daniella Uy.
