Founders Cup turns 18, draws big field

MANILA, Philippines - After hosting a number competitions for the pros, amateurs, juniors and corporate guests, the Orchard Golf and Country Club stages its premier event – the 18th Founders Cup – on Nov. 27-30.

It is the most anticipated tournament not only because of the fun and camaraderie that the Founders Cup brings but also the big prizes to be given away in a four-day fiesta that also caps the year-round member-guest tournaments around the country at the Orchard’ two famed courses.

The lucky ace maker on any of the par-3 holes at Orchard’s Player course will bring home the classy Mercedes-Benz C200 Avantgarde while at the Palmer layout, on offer is a sleek Mazda CX-5 Pro SkyActive, the main items in a whopping bonanza of prizes, plus raffle items for all participants during the two cocktail nights and the main awarding on Sunday, all worth no less than P6 million.

Then at the grand raffle Draw, the highlight of the awards ceremony, those who bought tickets will have the chance to win any of the three cars – a Mazda 3 SkyActive, Ford Eco Sport or Mercedes-Benz A200 – plus many other high value items.
