For the first time, the event will feature Sampath Bank Overall Winner – Male and Sampath Bank Overall Winner – Female, each receiving a return business class air ticket to Dubai, a special trophy, and a luxury dinner voucher for two. Additional prizes include Closest to the Pin – Overall Winner and a special Closest to the Pin award for a Sampath Bank winner, both receiving dinner vouchers for two and a commemorative trophy.
