The 2026 Philippine Golf Championship opened its pre-tournament festivities with a Pro-Am event at Wack Wack Golf and Country Club in Manila, drawing 164 players from across the region.

The prestigious tournament is backed by BingoPlus as official sponsor, marking the brand’s continued support for local sports.

Professional and amateur golfers competed in a day-long event highlighted by camaraderie and competition. In the morning session, the team of Travis Smyth, Sofia Araneta, Hannah See and Stewart Plinbundo emerged victorious. The afternoon session was won by Angelo Que, JJ Atencio, Mika Arroyo and Noel Estrella.

For DigiPlus Interactive Corp. Lead Independent Director Ramon Dizon, the sponsorship underscores the company’s commitment to the growth of Philippine golf.

“On behalf of DigiPlus Interactive Corporation, we are so proud to support and be part of this event through our flagship brand BingoPlus,” Dizon said during the awarding ceremony.

“We now come to this exciting point in the Philippine Golf Championship, as presented by the Philippine Sports Commission, in awarding the winners. I would like to congratulate all the golfers for their dedication and sportsmanship, which they have demonstrated in the Pro-Am tournament.”

The champions received premium golf equipment, while other participants joined a raffle where 20 players won similar prizes. All players received BingoPlus golf caps, sleeves and turbo fan giveaways.
