It is the most established global “Business to Business” golf tournament with their beginning from the UK’s The Times Corporate Golf Challenge that was established in 1993.

Singapore will hold its Inaugural World Corporate Golf Challenge at world class Sentosa Golf Club. To mark this Inaugural event in Singapore, the event will raise funds for Community Chest to support more than 100 social service agencies with over 200 critical programmes offered to those in need, including special education, youth programmes, adult disability support, family service centres, eldercare and caregiver support. You probably know that Community Chest is the philanthropy and engagement arm of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS). Hence other than a great corporate networking event, participating corporates will be doing good.
Singapore Golf Association (SGA) has sanctioned WCGC Singapore. Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI) and Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SICCCI) have agreed to be supporting business chambers. Audi will be a hole-in-one sponsor and Robb Report will be a media partner.
A team of 2 golfers will participate in the competition. The average of the 2 golfers stableford score will be used to compute the team score.
The stableford system with adjustment for handicaps will be used. Stableford is a scoring system in golf that awards points for the number of strokes taken on each hole in relation to par, rather than simply counting your strokes (like in stroke play). Unlike in stroke play, where you want the lowest score, your goal in Stableford scoring is to have the highest score.
Standard Stableford points values are:
Official handicap as captured under Singapore Golf Association’s Centralised Handicapping System (CHS, https://chs.sga.org.sg) will be factored in to allow players of varying skill levels to compete more closely.
A 5-handicap golfer would get one stroke on the five most difficult holes of the course. “Par” for these five holes would increase by one stroke. If one of the five toughest holes was a par-4, it would play as a par-5 for this golfer, meaning they’d receive par points if they shot a 5 on the hole.
A 20-handicap golfer would get one stroke for every hole, plus an additional stroke for the two most challenging holes on the 18-hole course. If the most difficult hole was a par-4, it would play as a par-6 for a 20-handicap golfer. A score of 5 would award them birdie points.
Scoring will be done manually using the score card recorded by another team in the flight. If a corporate sends in more than 1 team, the organizer will ensure that the 2 teams in a flight will not be from the same corporate.
Lunch will be provided before golf and beverages (water and isotonic drinks) will be provided during golf. Golfers need to bring their own golf clubs and balls.
