More teams, stronger sides as BT Corporate Golf League 2025 tees off
Golfers will pit their skills against one another at five of Singapore’s top courses
THE Business Times Corporate Golf League has grown in both stature and numbers since its inception back in 2010.
This year’s league tees off at Tanah Merah Country Club’s Tampines course on Thursday (Mar 6), with four other legs taking place over the next two months until the finale on May 9.
The other four venues are Singapore Island Country Club, Laguna National Golf Resort Club, Orchid Country Club and Sentosa Golf Club. The tournament is based on a System 36 modified stableford format.
There are nine teams in the competitive category, up from six last year. Among them are automotive dealer Car Times, and Gayatri, a popular restaurant along Race Course Road.
Car Times won the tournament back in 2019, and they have typically performed well over the years.
Of the 10 players in the Car Times team, seven are single-handicappers, with former national golfer Vincent Khua (handicap index 1) and former Singapore Island Country Club women’s champion Lyn Yeo (handicap 12.9) at the helm.
