Heading back to the cool climes, HSBC will once again host the country’s most exclusive Premier Golf tournament for the seventh year, at the picturesque Nuwara Eliya Golf Course on 30 and 31 August. HSBC is a global supporter of the game and have been a pioneer in crafting unique golf experiences and development for the game for a number of years.

The tournament has become an integral part of the annual golf calendar in Sri Lanka and is expecting over 100 golfers, who are Premier customers to compete for the HSBC Premier Challenge Trophy. Two winners of the tournament will get the opportunity to travel to Shanghai to witness the WGC – HSBC Champions 2019 which attracts the world’s best golfers, to be held at the Sheshan International Golf Club from 31 October – 3 November.

This year is tipped to be even more exciting than last year, with MasterCard partnering to support the event by teeing up unique golf-related benefits for HSBC cardholders and to spin a twist to the customary pre-event which will further build engagement among golfers on 30 August.

The pre-event – ‘Roll a Putt under the Stars’ will be a two-member team event, where the first player will be given the opportunity to take a shot off the rough using only a hybrid, while the second player will use the putter to hole in. The first team who holes in the putt will be judged the winner.

HSBC Retail Banking and Wealth Management Country Head Nadeesha Senaratne stated: “We are excited to host the seventh edition of the Premier Golf tournament and bring golfers closer to their passion for the game in a truly unique manner. We also invite all Premier customers to avail themselves to a Far Eastern experience through exclusive offers extended throughout August, and hope they too will enjoy the experience here in Sri Lanka as much as the two deserving HSBC Premier Golf overall winners.”
