SINGAPORE, 27 August 2026 — The World Corporate Golf Challenge Singapore (WCGCS) returns on Thursday, 3 September 2026, with Independent Reserve renewing its commitment as Presenting Sponsor for a second consecutive year. The tournament will bring Singapore’s corporate golf community to Seletar Country Club for a day of competition, relationship-building and purpose, with the winning pair earning the right to represent Singapore at the WCGC World Final in Beijing.
The renewal builds on Independent Reserve’s support of the 2025 Singapore event and reflects the partners’ shared belief in golf as a platform for trusted relationships, meaningful connections and positive community impact. Independent Reserve is one of Singapore’s first licensed cryptocurrency financial services firms and has been an active supporter of both sport and inclusive community initiatives, such as being a key supporter to Singapore’s top ladies golf professional Shannon Tan, who returns to meet and play with the participating corporate golfers this year.
“Golf has changed my life. I’ve made lifelong friends and met people through the game who have had a real impact on my journey. One of the great things about golf is that age does not define ability. Players from different generations can be evenly matched and enjoy the game together. In the time it takes to play a round, you experience the highs and lows of the game together, and conversations naturally go deeper. Few other sports create that same opportunity for connection.
“That is what we want the World Corporate Golf Challenge Singapore to be about. At Independent Reserve, we believe relationships can be a force for good. By bringing Singapore’s business community together around a shared purpose, we can make an impact that reaches far beyond the course. We’re proud to return as Presenting Sponsor for a second year. I’m especially pleased to invite Shannon Tan, our brand ambassador, to join us again. She represents the very best of Singapore golf, and I know her presence will be an inspiration to everyone taking part.”— Lasanka Perera, CEO, Independent Reserve Singapore
“Independent Reserve’s return provides important continuity and momentum for the World Corporate Golf Challenge Singapore. Together, we are building more than a golf tournament: we are creating a platform where companies can strengthen relationships, reward their people, engage clients and give back. We are delighted to welcome them back and to take Singapore’s national champions on the Road to Beijing.”
— Benny Teo, Managing Director, Blazon (Pte. Ltd.), and Singapore Executive Partner of WCGC
