About World Corporate Golf

It’s been over 20 years since The Times newspaper, in 1993, started the WCGC as a platform for 'bringing the world of business together' in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere using Golf as the mean.

First in the UK and years later, countries like India, Malaysia, Sweden, Spain, Italy and New Zealand, among others, were participating, offering local executives from various economic sectors a platform to network (with each event supported by the most prestigious national media).

Today WCGC is the biggest corporate golf event worldwide, being represented in more than 40 countries.
