The 5th Portfolio CBS Golf Tournament returned to Singapore’s top course, Serapong, this year.

The annual Portfolio CBS Golf Tournament continues to grow in stature as one of the premier corporate events on the Singapore golf calendar. This year, the Serapong Course played host to 144 golfers who challenged their games and stood incredible chances of winning fantastic prizes.

Credit Bureau Singapore (CBS) was again the Co-branding Partner, while Mitsubishi Electric Asia was the Main Sponsor. Other supporters included Interparfums as Lifestyle Sponsor, TaylorMade (exclusively distributed by MST Golf) as Equipment and Apparel Sponsor, and Campari RARE and Glen Grant as Whisky Partner.

Golfers who signed up were winners even before they teed off. The great goodie bag given out was in itself worth the price of admission. It included the latest issue of PORTFOLIO, an arm sleeve sponsored by Cygnett, a tote bag and voucher sponsored by W Atelier, a box of a dozen golf balls and a polo tee by TaylorMade, Jimmy Choo perfume, and a special addition this year of a Van Cleef Candle sponsored by Interparfums. On top of that, additional items in the goodie bag included a $50 dining voucher to Lawry’s Prime Rib Singapore and a box of Oatbedient Mocha Oatmilk Powder Sachets.
