Greetings! Welcome to the 27th Orchard Founders Cup! As we gather for this special and much anticipated annual tournament, we are reminded that this event has been more than about competing against each other. This tournament is all about the friendships we’ve built, the traditions we’ve preserved, and the passion for the game that brings us together year after year. Now in its 27th staging, the Founders Cup continues to reflect the values that make The Orchard unique – excellence, sportsmanship, and camaraderie.
Last year was a proud moment for all of us. Golf Digest Philippines ranked The Orchard’s golf courses number 2 and 3 in the country. A welcome recognition and all time high ranking that confirms what we as members already know: we play on two of the best golf courses in the Philippines. This achievement reflects the pride we share in our Club and the high standards we strive to maintain.
With this momentum, the 27th Founders Cup is more than just another tournament. It is our opportunity to welcome family, friends, and guests, to compete in good spirit, and to create memories that go beyond the results in our scorecards. It is also an opportunity for us to showcase to our dear partners our highly ranked home, the Club we are all proud to be a member of.
This year, we carry on the tradition of excitement with over
₱10 million worth of prizes, highlighted by a brand-new car exclusively for tournament participants, and a Grand Raffle featuring two brand-new cars, ₱1.5 million cash prizes, and other premium items.
Equally meaningful, we uphold a tradition that goes beyond prizes – the Conrado Benitez II Educational Assistance Program, funded through the proceeds of Grand Raffle ticket sales. Through this initiative, we support the education of chosen caddies’ children, ensuring that the legacy of the Founders Cup extends far beyond the fairways and makes a lasting difference in the lives of our Club community.
As we tee off, let us celebrate the fellowship, sportsmanship and the legacy we are building together. I wish everyone all the best and that you all have an enjoyable time. Thank you for being part of the 27th Orchard Founders Cup, and may it be another tournament to remember.
