About Carlsberg Golf Classic
Carlsberg’s first foray into golf in Malaysia was in 1986 with the inception of the Carlsberg Trophy. This sponsorship of a circuit of low-key inter-club golf games among the armed forces golf clubs in the country were considered a groundbreaker in terms of corporate support for golf.


Seven years later, in 1993, with the Carlsberg Trophy now entrenched in success and in response to growing demand, the brewery delivered what the local golfing community had been yearning for – the Carlsberg Golf Classic, making it the first brewery to own and run a golf circuit for amateur golfers in the country.

This year, the circuit enters its 20th year, and the interest has not waned. The Carlsberg Golf Classic remains a much-anticipated event for club golfers, with an average of 5,000 participants at over 40 golf clubs nationwide annually.
