BEDMINSTER, N.J. — Joaquin Niemann knows what it means to turn a first-round lead into a LIV Golf victory.
Jong Sug Han fired 37 points to clinch the low gross crown, while Raul Magpantay secured the seniors title with 34 points in the 2025 Chairman’s Charity Cup held over the weekend at the Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club’s Legends and Masters courses in Carmona, Cavite.
Lora Roberto also carded 37 points under the Modified Stableford scoring system to capture the ladies’ low gross trophy in the club’s premier member-guest tournament, backed by title sponsor San Miguel Corp. and presented by CSL Construction and Pro-Envirotek Inc.
But the biggest winners of the event were Joseph Balinggao and Edward Lim, who each drove home brand-new cars during the traditional grand raffle draw that caps every staging of the Chairman’s Charity Cup.
Balinggao took home a Mitsubishi XForce GLS 1.5E courtesy of Mitsubishi Motors, while Lim won a Toyota Rize E MT from Toyota Silang, Cavite.
The hole-in-one prizes — raffled off after no player scored an ace — were likewise claimed by several lucky participants. Michael Lopez won a seven-night Mexican Riviera cruise for two, inclusive of airfare, from Royal Caribbean International and Baron Travel.
