Davao City is set to host the 77th Philippine Airlines (PAL) Interclub, the country’s premier and longest-running amateur golf team tournament, from February 20 to March 6, 2026.

According to PAL, the event will bring together golfers from 214 teams, with 124 competing in the Seniors division and 90 in the Men’s Regular division, underscoring the tournament’s enduring popularity and the continued growth of Philippine golf.

Since its inaugural edition in 1948, the PAL Interclub has brought together teams from across the nation and overseas in an atmosphere of spirited competition, camaraderie, and shared passion for golf. The event’s unique team-based format continues to foster lasting friendships and exemplifies the values of teamwork, integrity, and fair play that have defined the Interclub for generations.

This year’s tournament will showcase Davao’s renowned hospitality and culture, with rounds to be played at three of the region’s premier courses: Apo Golf and Country Club, South Pacific Davao Golf Club, and Rancho Palos Verdes Golf and Country Club. Local officials and tourism partners are preparing to roll out a warm welcome for visiting players and guests, promising an unforgettable two-week celebration both on and off the fairways.

“The PAL Interclub has always been a meaningful gathering for the golfing community,” said Richard Nuttall, President of Philippine Airlines. “We are excited to bring the 77th edition to Davao and look forward to celebrating this tradition with golfers, partners, and supporters.”

The 77th PAL Interclub is made possible through the generous support of its major sponsors, including Diamond sponsor Mastercard, Gold sponsor PRIMAX, and Silver sponsor Okada. Bronze sponsors ABS-CBN Global and Boeing, as well as official hotel partner Dusit Davao, are also contributing to this year’s successful staging.

The PAL Interclub remains a celebration of friendship, sportsmanship, and community spirit—a legacy that continues to unite generations of Filipino golfers and inspire new talent from all corners of the country.

DAVAO lass Heather Megan Huang finished fourth in the 4th Leg of the Superkit Junior Elite Golf
13-15 Years Old Division at the Club Filipino de Cebu Golf Course and Country Club on Sunday, Sept. 7.

Huang had such a poor start and it would have been understandable if she gave up. But she dug deep and rallied to catch up to the other golfers. Fortunately, her perseverance paid off to finish the last hole with a birdie to close the round.

The 13-15 Girls Division was ruled by Maraela Dy, while Andrea Borromeo (1st runner-up), Vivienne Go (2nd runner-up), and Huang rounded up the top four finishers.

The Superkit Junior Elite Golf Tour features the country’s most promising golfers where they can pit their talents against the nation’s best. Hopefully, the platform will allow them to hone their skills and represent the country on the international stage.
