Bigger, better
10th Phoenix Open stakes P1M cash, a Harley Davidson, 2 cars and more
ONE thing for sure, every participant will bring home something from the 10th Phoenix Open Golf Tournament eyed to be bigger and better than the previous editions.
Tournament organizer Liloh Evangelista bared this during a press launch at Sundays Modern Home Cooking, Phoenix Megastation compound in Lanang, Davao City.
"There are more prizes now. There will be five hole-in-one prizes. One hole will have P1 million cash while the other will have the Harley Davidson motorcycle and two Tata Manza cars for each of the other two holes. We are still negotiating with another car company for the fifth hole-in-one prize. If it pushes through, we will just give away the fuel cards," she said, adding that a P100,000 worth of Phoenix Petroleum fuels and lubricants was the original fifth hole-in-one prize of the golfest set March 17 at the Rancho Palos Verdes Golf and Country Club.
She said that golfers will have 20 chances of winning any of the coveted prizes.
All division winners will each receive Royal Selangor Pewter Plate and Phoenix Petroleum fuel cards. The champions will also claim limited edition Phoenix signature golf bags.

Exciting prizes will also be raffled off during the awarding ceremony.
