The Manila Southwoods Invitational is set to kick off from 13-16 March at the Masters and Legends courses in Carmona, Cavite, featuring an impressive roster of 330 teams with 660 players hailing from diverse sectors such as business and sports.

The highly anticipated event, known for its unique blend of competition and camaraderie, is the host club's flagship tournament, boasting a record-breaking participation this year.

This year's Southwoods Invitational also holds a special significance as it doubles as a celebratory event following the host club's triumphant campaign in the recent PAL Interclub. The club secured its ninth championship in Cagayan de Oro, overcoming stiff competition from Eastridge.

Shinichi Suzuki, a pivotal player in that victory, is expected to defend the overall gross team championship, which he and partner Teruhisa Taguchi clinched last year.
