The Carlsberg Golf Classic is back after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. More than RM1.6 million worth of prizes are up for grabs at this year’s Carlsberg Golf Classic 2022.
Since the first tee-off in 1993, the Carlsberg Golf Classic has been supporting the development of local golf clubs for almost 30 years. To many in the industry, it is widely known as the biggest and longest-running amateur golf series, exclusively open for members of the country’s most iconic and prestigious golf clubs.
