The Philippine Golf Tour kicks off its new season at the Anvaya Cove Golf and Sports Club in Morong, Bataan next week with the P3.5 million ICTSI Anvaya Cove Invitational featuring the cream of the country’s pro crop, plus a host of foreign aces.
Reigning PGT Order of Merit champion Tony Lascuña, three-time Asian Tour winner Angelo Que and fellow Japan PGA Tour campaigner Juvic Pagunsan, Elmer Salvador, Jay Bayron, Frankie Miñoza, Jhonnel Ababa and young turks Clyde Mondilla and Jobim Carlos banner the stellar field in the Feb. 15-18 event at the challenging, wind-raked layout.
Fifteen legs spread over the country’s championship courses are on tap in this year’s PGT calendar, including a record five Asian Development Tour events, with the organizing Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. also staging the fifth edition of The Duel, the country’s version of the Ryder Cup pitting the leading players from Visayas and Mindanao against those from Luzon, now held on alternate years.
The new season will also see the revival of one of the country’s former four Major championships, the Philippine Masters, set in May at its home at the Villamor Golf Club.
