MANILA, Philippines — Sixty-two players, who earned their spots in the ICTSI Junior PGT Match Play Finals after a grueling five-month nationwide series, will get their first taste of the prestigious The Country Club course in today’s official practice round.

The TCC, known for its demanding layout and reputation as one of the toughest championship courses in the country, promises to push the young competitors to their limits.

The competition officially kicks off tomorrow with an 18-hole stroke play round to determine player rankings for the head-to-head match play battles. Golfers in the 13-15 and 16-18 age categories will also begin their 18-hole match play duels in the afternoon.

Quarterfinal matches in all age divisions, including the 8-9 and 10-12, are set for Thursday while the semifinals, finals and third-place playoffs will take place on Friday.

Tee positions will be adjusted according to each age group, ensuring an appropriate level of challenge for all competitors.

At TCC, the players will have to contend with strategically placed bunkers and numerous out-of-bounds areas. The greens vary in size but are uniformly challenging due to their sleek and unpredictable nature.
