HISTORY
Our tournament has roots dating back over a decade to what was then known as the "Envy Golf Classic", named after a very prominent Aussie-owned Angeles hotel. Sadly, it's no longer around but thanks to some dedicated and passionate golf tragics, we've managed to keep the tournament alive! These days it's known simply as The Invitational and has grown to be something truly special. We expect over 60 participants in 2025 and will actually cap it officially at 64 ... for now!

LOCATION
We currently run most of our tournament activities in and around Angeles City, and the Pampanga region. This area has a rich history, having been settled by Spaniards in the late 1700's, urbanised into an official city in 1964, and "westernised" thanks largely to the US Clark Air Base, and nearby Subic Bay Naval Base, present since World War Two. 

Following one of the biggest volcanic eruptions in history (Mt Pinatubo, 1991) the region suffered greatly, with widespread devastation and the closure of those US bases, resulting in significant economic decline.​

But since then, Angeles has made a remarkable comeback, with the opening of the Clark Freeport Zone, a bunch of casinos, shopping malls, and imminent satellite cities. Then there is the shiny new Clark International Airport, only open for a couple of years, but already touted as one of the world's best.

GOLF COURSE

We are delighted to continue our relationship with Pradera Verde Golf Club on two fronts: Firstly, it's a great venue with fantastic amenities, and secondly, they have expanded to 36 holes, giving us amazing flexibility in tournament rounds, without the need to seek variety in other locations.
