About World Corporate Golf
Challenge
The biggest corporate golf tournament in the
world, World Corporate Golf Challenge
began in the United Kingdom in 1993 and in
the past 19 years, more than one million
golfers have competed across the globe for
the chance to represent their company and
country at the World Finals.
In 1997 the event became so successful in the
UK that the concept was rolled out
around the world until it reached countries
such as India, Malaysia, Norway, Sweden,
Spain, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal and
Australia. As a result, the World Corporate
Golf Challenge is now an international network
of national amateur golf tournaments
promoted and run independently by
organizations (the licensees) in association
with
local national print media partners. The annual
winners from each territory compete in
the World Final representing not only their
company but also their country.
