This grand finale will not only showcase top-level competition but also celebrate the unifying spirit of sport, business and camaraderie.

The ultimate prize awaits the National champions, who will earn the honour of representing Malaysia at the Oct 19-23 WCGC World Final in Shanghai, China.

They will compete against 32 countries at the world-renowned Shanghai Dongzhuang Beach Golf Club, with the Linksland Course hosting the WCGC and the Parkland Course staging the Sports Legend Cup.

WCGC Malaysia advisor Mohd Salim Mohamed Sain, in a statement, said this event is more than just a prestigious corporate golf tournament, serving as a platform that celebrates corporate excellence, international camaraderie and the spirit of healthy competition.

“By hosting WCGC in Selangor, we aim to position Malaysia as a key player in the global corporate sports arena,” he added.

The WCGC Malaysia is held under the royal patronage of the Raja Muda of Selangor, Tengku Amir Shah Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.

“This is more than just a golf challenge; it is a platform that unites corporate leaders, sponsors and icons of the sport to forge connections and showcase excellence.

“I look forward to witnessing the spirit of competition and collaboration as Malaysia paves its way to the World Finals,” said Tengku Amir Shah, who is expected to grace the awards presentation ceremony at the National Final.
