Schedule for 75th Januarius Fil-Am golf tourney bared

Organizers recently announced the schedule of the 75th edition of the Fil-Am Invitational Golf tournament to be held at the Baguio Country Club (BCC) and Camp John Hay (CJH) fairways on November 25 to December 13, 2025.

The first week of the competition will be on November 25 to December 3, 2025 where the 129 participating teams of the senior’s division and lower flights of the regular division will be seeing action while the second week, which will be on December 4-13, 2025, will be for the higher flights of the regular division to play in both courses.

The practice rounds for the senior’s division will be on November 25-27, 2025 which will be followed by the formal tee off at around 4 pm of November 27, 2025 while the practice rounds for the regular division will be on December 5-7, 2025 which will also be followed by the tee off at around 4 pm of December 7, 2025.

The number of participating teams in the longest running amateur golf tournament in the Asia-Pacific region increased to 301 teams for this year where the participating golfers also reached record breaking figures at around 1,500.

Some 129 teams composed of more than 634 golfers are set to compete in the senior’s division while some 179 teams composed of more than 800 players will be participating in the highly competitive regular division.

The adoption of a new format, 4 to play, 4 to count, paved the way for organizers to accommodate some 40 additional teams to significantly reduce the number of teams that are in the waiting list annually.

Last year, some 260 teams composed of some 1,430 golfers joined the two-week golf competition which is usually held at both the BCC and CJH fairways. – Dexter A. See
