DAVAO CITY — Around 400 golfers are expected to show their wares in the coming 34th edition of the Durian Tee Invitational Golf tournament from 11 to 14 November at the scenic Apo Golf and Country Club here.

Dubbed as the city’s longest running golf tournament to date, the competition allots bigger and better prizes in this year’s edition which will use the Molave Scoring System and Double Barrel tee off format of play.

“These golfers will be coming from all places in Mindanao or maybe from Luzon and the Visayas areas because this is one of Davao City’s prestigious tournament,” said Apo Golf and Country Club general manager Ed Marasigan at the weekly Davao Sportswriters Association Forum on Thursday.

Golf carts, golf equipment, a massage chair and P1 million cash will be up for grabs as hole-in-one prizes on designated holes on par 3 fairways.

Registration is pegged at P7,500 with P6,000 worth of giveaways.

The awarding ceremonies will be held at the RMC Petro Gas Arena on 14 November.
