Kinloch Anderson is delighted to announce the continued sponsoring of The World Corporate Golf Challenge. We will be sponsoring this year’s World Final in Sotogrande, Spain from the 1st – 6th July 2014, at the Almenara Hotel and Golf Resort and at La Reserva Club de Golf.
The sponsorship will follow last year’s design and making of the official WCGC tartan that was registered by The Scottish Register of Tartans. The Official WCGC Tartan will again be on show during the week- long event where it will be worn by the WCGC officials. To allow for the change in weather from last year, this year’s tartan will be made to suit the southern Spanish climate and will be made from a premium lightweight fabric.
Deirdre Kinloch Anderson OBE said “We hold the World Corporate Golf Challenge Organisation in high esteem. When the event itself was held in Scotland last year the WCGC tartan underlined the link between golf and tartan. The WCGC tartan trousers were a great success and we look forward to giving Kinloch Anderson’s support and participation in the event again thisa year.”
Harry Lloyd, Event Director for the WCGC said, “We are delighted to have Kinloch Anderson sponsoring the 2014 World Final in Sotogrande. To be associated, for a second year running, with such an iconic family company is wonderful. The national dress of Scotland is recognised all around the world, and both golf and Scotland go hand in hand. To have our own official tartan designed for us, to commemorate our 20th Anniversary last year, was very special and we look forward to continuing this association and relationship with Kinloch Anderson, for many years to come.”
The World Corporate Golf Challenge began in the United Kingdom in 1993 in association with The Times Newspaper. The intention was simple:
Provide companies with a platform that would help enhance relationships both internally (incentives, communications, human resources, etc.) and externally (clients, suppliers, etc.).
In 1997 the event became so successful in the UK that the concept was rolled out around the world until it reached countries such as India, Malaysia, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, Australia to name a few. As a result, the event is now an international network of national amateur golf tournaments promoted and run independently by organisations (the licensees) in association with local national print media partners. The annual winners from each territory compete in the World Final representing not only their company but also their country.
In summary The World Corporate Golf Challenge is the biggest corporate golf tournament in the world and since its inception 19 years ago over one million golfers have competed across the globe for the chance to represent their company and country at the World Finals.
