The Malaysian chapter of the MercedesTrophy 2020 will offer the all-new Mercedes-Benz E 200 Sportstyle Avantgarde as a hole-in-one prize.
This year’s Malaysian chapter will see five qualifying rounds nationwide from March to April, culminating in the National Final at Saujana Golf & Country Club on June 23. The first player to score a hole-in-one on any of the two designated par-three holes at each round will win the car, which is worth RM329,888.
This year marks a significant milestone for Mercedes-Benz as the MercedesTrophy tournament will be celebrating its 30th anniversary. The series dates back to 1991 and has now established itself as a worldwide event which takes place in every continent. To-date, over a million Mercedes-Benz customers and fans have teed off in the MercedesTrophy.
“Golf is a wonderful game and we love it for its passion for perfection. As Mercedes-Benz, we believe in being ‘The Best’. Therefore, Mercedes-Benz and golf, both share a similar spirit in striving for the perfect drive. This strong connection between the game and our brand has led to the active involvement for Mercedes-Benz in this sport since 1989. Today, the MercedesTrophy has evolved into an extremely successful tournament series for amateurs, staged over 60 countries, and we’re very proud to host it for the 30th year in Malaysia,” says Dr Claus Weidner, president & CEO of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia, during the launch of the Malaysian chapter today.
The top five finishers in each of three men’s categories (Category A − Handicap 0-12 / Category B − Handicap 13-20 / Category C − Handicap 21-24) in the qualifying rounds will make it to the National Final, where they will be joined by the top five finishers in the special ladies’ category at the fourth leg at The Mines Resort on April 15.
