Sound On the Greens
True to JBL’s DNA, sound was seamlessly integrated throughout the course. Each attendee received a JBL Grip, with some choosing to bring it along on their golf carts to enjoy powerful, portable audio throughout the tournament. Additional JBL portable speakers were placed in key areas across the course, further energizing the fairways and blending sport and sound in signature JBL fashion.
Highlight of the Day
While the competition was fierce, no participant was able to achieve the hole-in-one at Hole #16. In a thrilling twist, the prize — a Triumph Speed 400 motorcycle — was raffled off and claimed by Mr. Edwin Rollon from Manila Standard. Other attendees also went home with exciting raffle prizes, including an LG Smart LED TV, Taylormade golf products, 3 Strokes merch, and JBL favorites such as the JBL PartyBox, JBL Tour Pro 3, JBL Soundgear Frames, and many more!
Guests enjoyed curated hospitality, engaging brand activities, and exclusive giveaways throughout the tournament. The day concluded with an evening awarding ceremony that celebrated top performers while reinforcing the camaraderie that defines the JBL Golf Cup.
“We are proud to see how the JBL Golf Cup continues to grow each year. It’s more than a tournament — it’s a meaningful touchpoint for our partners and a reflection of the premium experiences that JBL stands for,” said Mr. Larry Secreto, Country Head of Harman Philippines.
Looking Ahead
As JBL continues to merge sport, lifestyle, and cutting-edge sound technology, the future of the JBL Golf Cup remains bright. With each year raising the bar higher, the tournament solidifies its place as a signature event in JBL’s calendar — a celebration of community, competition, and unmistakable sound.
