Pros brace for new PGT/LPGT season

MANILA, Philippines — The country’s touring pros gird up for a fresh season in new normal with a busy calendar lined up for both the Philippine Golf Tour and the Ladies PGT starting with the ICTSI Luisita Championship on March 22 at the fabled Tarlac layout.

Notwithstanding the long layoff, with the men’s side being out of action for a year, the fact that the circuit will finally resume with a full schedule is enough to energize the touring pros.

Fierce action is expected right in the kickoff leg slated March 22-25 for the PGT with the LPGT scheduled in the first three days.

The women’s tour will feature 10 tourneys over the country’s championship courses, including two new host venues, while the PGT will have five tournaments, all slated in the same week of their counterparts.

From Luisita, the ICTSI-backed tour heads to the Hallow Ridge Golf Club in San Pedro, Laguna, which will host an LPGT event for the first time on April 6-8, while Splendido Taal in Batangas will next stage the twin tournaments on April 19-22
