Philippine Open rises to global prominence with International Series elevationMANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Open, the country’s premier golf championship, steps into a defining chapter in its storied history as it takes center stage from November 12–15 at the Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club in Carmona, Cavite. After a subdued yet meaningful revival last year, the national championship now returns with greater prestige and purpose — elevated as part of the International Series, signaling its full arrival on the global golfing stage. This elevation stems from the resounding success of last year’s International Series Philippines, highlighted by Miguel Tabuena’s breakthrough victory against a world-class field. The International Series, with its direct links to elite global circuits, effectively places Filipino golfers within reach of the sport’s highest tiers. The event also reinforces the Philippines’ position as an emerging hub for international golf.
