The successful staging of the international golf tournament has positioned the country as a premier world-class golf destination.

DigiPlus Interactive Corp., the country’s premier digital entertainment provider behind BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone, recently marked a new milestone after successfully bringing in the first-ever world-renowned golf tournament, placing the country as a premier world-class golf destination.

Presented by DigiPlus’ flagship brand, BingoPlus, ISP, held from October 23-26 at Sta. Elena Golf and Country Club, marked the first time the country hosted the global tournament and was participated by world-renowned sports personalities including golf star players Patrick Reed, Charl Schwartzel, Dustin Johnson, and Filipino pride Tabuena.
