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. Worldcorporategolfchallenge.com.
