THE 28th edition of the Mabuhay Miles Elite Invitational Golf Tournament goes to Tagaytay this Thursday, Nov. 14, where a full field of 350 players from the business sector here and abroad will tee off.
Ryan Abdon will be shooting to win the event for the second straight time after winning at the Orchard in Cavite last year where he shot an eagle-aided net four-under-par 68 for the overall title worth a handsome 180,000 miles.
Abdon’s victory last year was dramatic as he dedicated it to his departed wife.
The Highlands and Midlands courses of the scenic complex will be used, with the men’s Class A and B competition to dispute the titles over the well-manicured Midlands, the championship, ravine-littered course.
Capt. Stanley K. Ng, the flag carrier’s president, will hit one of the ceremonial drives together with other prominent PAL executives.
“It’s that time of year again when we renew our ties with our valued clients,” Ng, who has recently taken up the game of golf, said. “We at PAL are just excited to host this event every year and show our appreciation to our frequent flyers.”
Organizers have sweetened the pot for a hole-in-one with a brand-new Mercedes Benz car, 116,000 Mabuhay Miles – which is enough for a business class ticket to the United States – two brand new golf carts, Epic rewards points worth 250,000 and P100,000 worth of Casino Play credits from Okada up for grabs.
The 28th staging of the 18-hole tournament is supported by Hole-In-One sponsors Mercedes Benz Philippines, Okada Manila, Newport World Resorts, Get Go’s Golf Cart and Philippine Airlines.
Diamond sponsors include Mastercard and Nustar Resort and Casino, while HSBC is a Platinum sponsor.
