DuckWorld PH, PCG partnership for college golf

Sportsentro | DuckWorld PH, PCG partnership for college golf | TOP student-golfers from universities around the country will see action in the first nationwide collegiate golf tournament slated to kick off next month.

Tournament organizer Pilipinas College Golf (PCG) Series and sports management and marketing agency DuckWorld PH signed a partnership to strengthen and expand collegiate golf nationwide and create more opportunities for aspiring golfers to compete at higher levels.

PCG representative Atty. Roy Ibay and DuckWorld PH chairman Patrick Gregorio sealed the landmark collaboration project recently at the University Hotel in UP Diliman. 

The project aims to nurture the next generation of Filipino collegiate golfers and ensure that the sport continues to grow in popularity and talent in the country, organizers said. 

There will be two playoffs in the next three months—“Battle of the South” will start on April 27 at Caliraya Springs Golf Club in Laguna, while “Battle of the North” will be on June 22 at Camp John Hay Golf Club in Baguio City where DuckWorld PH is part of the interim management team for the Bases Conversion and Development Authority.

“Battle of the South” will pit players from De La Salle University Manila, College of Saint Benilde, De La Salle University Dasmariñas, Mapua University, Arellano University, Lyceum of the Philippines University and other southern colleges. 

The “Battle of the North” includes the University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University, University of Santo Tomas, University of Cordilleras and northern colleges.

The project is the first of its kind in the country. 

“We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate and scale up what we envision for Philippine collegiate golf,” Ibay said. “This partnership is not just about fostering competition, but more about empowering young athletes, offering them platforms for growth both on and off the course.”

“We want to enable and support more colleges to establish golf teams nationwide,” Gregorio said.

The series will be supervised by coach Jun Cedo, a US PGA golf professional and an acclaimed golf guru for 19 years.
