SportExcel, Malaysia’s leading foundation for junior sports development, has partnered with IT solutions provider CLL Systems to digitize and streamline the management of its junior golf tournaments. The collaboration marks a significant step forward in improving operational efficiency, data accuracy, and participant engagement across SportExcel’s nationwide junior golf circuit.
The partnership will be showcased during the SportExcel – KLGCC International Junior Golf Championship 2025 from 16 to 18 July 2025, where the Golf Management System (GMS) will be fully implemented. The system simplifies every aspect of tournament operations — from online registration and payment to live scoring and real-time results verification.
Backed by the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the National Sports Council, SportExcel has played a pivotal role in nurturing junior talent across 12 core sports, including golf, for over three decades. This collaboration with CLL Systems addresses the growing logistical complexity of managing tournaments across 10 junior age categories.
“Digitizing our tournaments with the GMS has been a game-changer. It has allowed us to streamline operations—from registration and scheduling to live scoring—so we can focus more on what truly matters: developing our young athletes. SportExcel has always focused on giving them the best foundation to succeed, and by integrating technology into our tournaments, we’re creating a modern, professional experience that mirrors the international arena.” said YAM Tunku Tan Sri Imran, Chairman of SportExcel.
CLL Systems, which previously powered the Malaysian International Junior Open 2024, brings deep expertise in delivering custom IT solutions for sports events. The GMS was tailored to SportExcel’s unique needs, including on-site support during initial implementation and dedicated technical assistance. Key features include:
- Online registration with eligibility checks
- Integrated payment gateway
- Automated flight scheduling
- Live leaderboard and digital scorecards
- Tournament director validation for results integrity
Looking ahead, SportExcel plans to expand the use of GMS across additional tournaments and explore its adaptation for other sports within its development circuit. There is also potential for integration with university scouting platforms and athlete performance tracking tools, a move that underscores the system’s long-term value to youth sports development in Malaysia.
“At CLL Systems, our goal in developing the Golf Management System was to equip organizations like SportExcel with smart, scalable technology that elevates the entire tournament experience. By digitizing key processes, we’re not just making operations more efficient, we’re helping to set a new standard for how youth tournaments are run in Malaysia. It’s time to move past outdated methods and embrace digital platforms that put us on par with internationally organized tournaments.” said Craig Chin Kar Wai, Director at CLL Systems.
SportExcel and CLL Systems welcome all stakeholders, from sports associations and club directors to potential partners, to witness the GMS in action at the upcoming tournament this July.
