Finally, it’s out. A whopping P3 million ($75,000) in prizes are up for grabs in the Konica Minolta National Pro-Am set March 5-8 at the Riviera’s Langer in Silang, Cavite Philippines.

The total pot is a record, surpassing the previous high of P1.7 million in the tournament chiefly sponsored by U-Bix Corporation and organized by thte National Golf Association of the Philippines (NGAP).

On top of the P3-M total purse are two cars from Toyota Motors Phils. Inc. staked as hole-in-one prizes in the Celebrity Pro-Am on March 4 and in the tournament proper March 5-8.    

A pro and his amateur partner will alternately hit one ball from tee to green in the tournament .

“It’s getting bigger and even better and I can only feel great joy and happiness for our golfers,” said Atty. Edilberto Bravo, the U-Bix chair and president who revived the Pro-Am in 2001 after a six-year hiatus.
