PSC, Hann Reserve join forces to shape golf’s future in the Philippines

Shaping Golf's Future PSC and Hann Reserve Join Forces in the Philippines

As the sports landscape in the Philippines continues to evolve, two influential entities – the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) and Hann Reserve – are coming together to shape the future of golf. This groundbreaking partnership aims to nurture a new generation of Filipino golfers, setting the stage for grassroots athletes to rise to world-class standards.

Unlocking Potential

Hann Reserve's proposed PGA-certified academy will provide young golfers with elite training, scientific coaching, and holistic education. Located just two kilometers away from Hann Reserve inside New Clark City, this strategic partnership has the potential to be game-changing for Filipino golf.

Synergizing Efforts

PSC Chairman Patrick Gregorio welcomed the initiative, highlighting the synergy between the National Academy of Sports (NAS) and Hann Reserve. We want NAS to strengthen linkages, so we can add more sports quickly. This proposed collaboration with Hann Reserve is exactly the kind of initiative that will help Filipino athletes thrive, not just locally but on the global stage, he said.

Expanding Impact

Neil emphasized that the proposed partnership with PSC and NAS could extend beyond sports, integrating golf into broader educational and community programs. One of the key missions of the PGA is grassroots growth. Whether through our academy or community engagement, we're committed to building golf from the ground up, he said.

Catalyzing Success

According to the PSC Chief, NAS can offer free education, board and lodging, and allowances to these golf scholars under the care of Hann Foundation, Inc. Should the proposed partnership push through, the National Golf Association of the Philippines will also play a key role. This comprehensive approach aims to provide young athletes with a clear pathway to success.

Testament to Confidence

Hann Reserve spans 450 hectares in New Clark City and features three championship golf courses designed by Nicklaus Design, K.J. Choi, and Sir Nick Faldo. Complementing these are a PGA Performance Center and PGA Village, envisioned as hubs for elite training and international-standard competition.

Innovative Approach

We're not here to replicate, we're here to reinvent, Neil said. Through the PGA Academy, we aim to create structured pathways that elevate golf development, while integrating education and wellness into a single ecosystem.

Bright Future Ahead

With Hann Reserve's ambitious development and PSC's commitment to grassroots empowerment, the Philippines is poised to emerge as a competitive golf destination in Southeast Asia, where young athletes can dream big and thrive on the global stage.
