SCAL is proud to be supporting the 2025 PNG Open with a sponsorship of K30,000 presented to PNG Golf Association (PNGGA). Earlier this year, SCAL was the Naming Rights Sponsor of the National Amateurs Golf Championship hosted in Lae. SCAL is proud to continue its support for Golf in PNG.
Presenting the cheque on behalf of SCAL was our Chief Underwriting Officer Mr. Uari Oaveta and our Business Development team.
PNGGA President Ian Hodge said that “this year’s PNG Open will be a historic event in PNGGA history as the new ladies category will be introduced where we will have 7 professional ladies coming from Australia to play against our 8 best ladies from Papua New Guinea. The purpose of this new introduction is to promote gender inclusion to show that everyone can play in one field as one.”
This tournament will have 120 professionals taking part vying for the win. There will be players coming from America, Spain, Fiji, China, Korea as well as the Philippines with 7 of those players having ratings of the next ‘big golfers in the world’ Hodge added.
Hodge thanked SCAL for their continuous support to the growth of golf in PNG over the years. “SCAL’s continuous support, along with the other sponsors, will go a long way towards creating pathways of development for our junior players and we envision that supporting our junior players development will allow us to deliver a world class standard PNG Open event” said Hodge.
SCAL looks forward to an exciting weekend of professional golfing action and wishes all the players the best of luck!
