August 22 , 2011

A host of corporate sponsors have got behind the ISPS Handa Singapore Classic as it makes its return to the Asian Tour Schedule.

The US$300,000 full field Asian Tour event will be staged at Orchid Country Club from September 8-11 with the International Sport Promotion Society (ISPS) renewing its commitment again by returning as the event’s title sponsor.

Last year, the ISPS Handa Singapore Classic was used to help promote blind golfing while this year, organisers will focus on relief and rebuilding
efforts in Japan following the tsunami and earthquake tragedies earlier this year.

The sponsors and Asian Tour have agreed to donate US$100,000 from the
initial prize fund of US$400,000 towards Japan.

With the focus on the relief and rebuilding efforts, the ISPS Handa
Singapore Classic, which is sanctioned by the Asian Tour and Singapore PGA, has attracted a growing list of renowned corporates ready to lend their cause to the event.

The Singapore Sports Council has also given their support to the event,
signaling the strong support shown by the Singapore community.

Other sponsors include Cityneon (Official Event Infrastructure Partner),
Walton International (Official Sponsor Pre-Development Land Investment), DHL (Official Logistics Provider), Canon (Office Solutions Provider), Suntec
Singapore (Promotions Partner), Pan Pacific Singapore (Official Hotel),
Delta Airlines (Official Airline) while Wolf Bass (Official Wine Supplier),
Singha (Official Beer), NTUC FairPrice (Official Drinking Water), 100 Plus
(Official Isotonic Drink), Fenix (Official Apparel), Inetol Headwear
(Official Headwear), Srixon (Official Golf Ball), BlackBerry (Official
Mobile Partner), Royal Selangor (Official Trophy Supplier) and PAssion Card (Official Privilege Card) will support the event as official suppliers.

Kyi Hla Han, Executive Chairman, Asian Tour, said: “We are delighted to
receive such overwhelming support from Corporate Singapore towards the ISPS Handa Singapore Classic.

“Through these sponsorships, we are confident that the ISPS Handa Singapore Classic will continue to position itself as another stellar golf event on Singapore’s sporting calendar.”

The ISPS Handa Singapore Classic will be beamed live on the Asian Tour’s
television platform of over 200 nations and 800 million homes during the
weekend rounds, ensuring that Singapore will be the centre of attention
during the week.
