About World Amateur Golfers Championship Philippines

The World Amateur Golfers Championship (WAGC) is a prestigious international golf competition held in 45 countries globally, governed by the Rules of Golf as approved by the United States Golf Association (USGA). Known for bringing together the best amateur golfers from around the world, WAGC provides a platform for golfers of all skill levels to showcase their talent on a global stage.

In 2025, WAGC celebrates its 6th season in the Philippines. This year, we are excited to host a series of 36 qualifying tournaments across the country, including events in the Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao regions. Each qualifier will feature passionate amateur golfers competing for the coveted opportunity to represent the Philippines.


The winners from these qualifying tournaments will advance to the Philippines National Finals, where the top golfers will compete for the title of Category Champion. The 5 Category Champions will then have the honor of representing the Philippines at the World Amateur Golfers Championship on the international stage in Jeju Island, Korea.

“the Ultimate Olympic experience for the average person. To give the opportunity to those regardless of age, gender, or skill level, the honor of playing for one’s country and the pride of wearing it’s colors. That dream is the World Golfers Championship.”

-   Sven Tumba, WAGC Founder and 4 Time Olympic Gold Medalist
