BingoPlus, the Philippines’ No. 1 digital entertainment platform and a strong supporter of sports development, has officially introduced the top 20 candidates for its Future Ace Program, a nationwide initiative designed to discover and groom emerging Filipino golf talents. Selected from hundreds of registrants last September, these 20 aspiring golfers were chosen based on perseverance, potential, and passion for the sport.
The finalists will participate in the professional-amateur (Pro-Am) tournament at the Sta. Elena Golf Club on October 22, where they will showcase their skills for a chance to advance to the final round of the program.
A Rare Opportunity: Compete and Play With Pros
As part of their journey, the candidates will also compete in the Asian Development Tournament, a PGA-recognized professional league. The event will take place on October 15 at the Luisita Golf and Country Club in Tarlac, giving Future Ace finalists the invaluable experience of playing alongside local and international golf pros — an important milestone in their athletic careers.
