The 6th Gary B. Teves Golf Tournament returns this August at the Canlubang Golf and Country Club, rallying golfers, businesses, and advocates for a meaningful cause: championing the welfare of caddies nationwide.
Through the years, the Gary B. Teves Golf Foundation has turned advocacy into action. Initiatives funded by past tournaments have provided health insurance coverage to caddies from various clubs, financial assistance during difficult times such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and continued support for caddies in South Forbes Golf Club and other courses.
The 2025 edition, which is set on Aug. 22, aims to expand this mission, rallying golfers, corporate sponsors, and philanthropists to stand united in pushing for better welfare programs, sustainable livelihood opportunities, and equitable treatment for caddies nationwide.
Organized by the Gary B. Teves Golf Foundation, the annual event aims to raise funds and awareness for programs that provide caddies with healthcare support, financial aid, and sustainable livelihood opportunities. Over the years, the foundation has helped hundreds of caddies access medical assistance, emergency funds, and other essential services often out of reach for those who work behind the scenes of the sport.
“This tournament is not just about golf—it’s about giving back to the people who make the game possible,” said former Finance Secretary Gary B. Teves. “Every participant and sponsor becomes part of a bigger mission: ensuring dignity, security, and recognition for our caddies.”
By joining the tournament, participants directly support long-term advocacy efforts to uplift caddies and empower underrepresented members of the golfing community.
Participants are not only enjoying a day on the fairways—they are becoming champions of advocacy, contributing to long-term efforts to uplift marginalized members of the golf community and, eventually, other underprivileged sectors in the country.
