New PGT season starts with ICTSI Pradera Verde Championship
The new season of the Philippine Golf Tour (PGT) begins with the ICTSI Pradera Verde Championship, featuring returning leg winners and Q-School qualifiers.
Veteran players acknowledge the increased competitiveness due to a more evenly matched field, making this year's PGT circuit especially compelling.
Among the newcomers are Korean standout Jeff Jung and former national team ace Carl Corpus, who secured top spots in the Q-School eliminations.
The Pradera Verde course offers challenges with its vast fairways, changing winds, and demanding pin placements, ensuring that no single playing style will guarantee success.
Leg winners from last season such as Clyde Mondilla, Rupert Zaragosa, Reymon Jaraula, and multi-titled players like Guido van der Valk and Michael Bibat are expected to compete alongside Q-School graduates determined to make an immediate impact.
Q-School graduates, including Yuto Hayaski, Christopher delos Santos, Tae Won Kim, Paul Echavez, James Ryan Lam, Ivan Monsalve, Dan Cruz, Josh Jorge, and Jhondie Quibol, aim to showcase their resilience in the championship.
