The seniors division of the longest running amateur golf tournament in the world will be from November 26 to December 4, 2024 while the regular division will be scheduled on December 5-14, 2024.
Jude Eustaquio, co-chairman of the Fil-Am Golf Executive Committee and general manager of the CJH Golf Club, said that more than 1,400 golfers from the Asia-Pacific region will be in the city during the 19-day competition to have fun playing their favorite sport while spending their well-deserved break in the country’s undisputed Summer Capital in time for the Yuletide season.
