The 2024 GreenTee Cup was a spectacular showcase of skill, luxury, and camaraderie, bringing together the best of the golf community for an unforgettable event. The stunning backdrop of the championship course provided the perfect setting for the competitors to display their mastery of the game, while the luxurious amenities and hospitality elevated the experience for players and spectators alike. Additionally, the event reached a global audience through the innovative digital indigenous sports gallery, allowing fans from around the world to engage with the tournament in real-time and experience the excitement of the GreenTee Cup.
Hosted at the exclusive GreenTee Country Club in Langley, this year’s tournament was not just a competition but a celebration of everything that makes the sport of golf so special. With new features, first-time participants, and even more prestigious sponsors, the GreenTee Cup has become the most luxurious and anticipated golf tournament in BC, a privilege for all who were part of it.
Justin Kim, CEO & President of JK World Group shared: “The overwhelming support and turnout for the 2024 GreenTee Cup have been truly remarkable. This year’s event exceeded all our expectations, not only in terms of participation but also in the level of enthusiasm and commitment shown by our sponsors, partners, and golfers. The energy and excitement we witnessed reflect the growing community that the GreenTee Cup has fostered, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed to making this year’s tournament such a success.”
On August 8th, 2024, the GreenTee Country Club was abuzz with excitement as 144 golfers, including the top 8 pros from the Qualification Round, gathered for the main event of the GreenTee Cup. The course, known for its challenging design and breathtaking scenery, was pristine, setting the stage for intense competition and high stakes.
The day began with an opening ceremony, during which the rules were outlined, and participants were briefed on the day’s format. The tournament featured several exciting on-course contests, including the Longest Drive, Closest to the Pin, and Straightest Drive competitions, generously sponsored by top golf brands like PXG, Holt Renfrew, and Taylormade.
These contests added an extra layer of excitement, giving golfers additional opportunities to showcase their skills and win incredible prizes.
However, the real excitement came from the three spectacular hole-in-one prizes. Golfers had their eyes on the ultimate rewards: a 2-year lease of a Rolls Royce Spectre valued at $300,000, a 3-litre bottle of Louis XIII Cognac worth $42,000, and a 2-carat Tiffany Diamond Ring valued at $200,000. These prizes not only raised the stakes but also underscored the tournament’s status as the premier luxury golf event in the region.
As the tournament progressed, the competition grew fiercer, with the leaderboard constantly shifting. Spectators were treated to a display of exceptional golfing talent, with every swing bringing participants closer to the coveted trophies crafted by Tiffany & Co. The inclusion of a woman pro golfer in the top 8 added an inspiring dimension to the competition, highlighting the tournament’s commitment to inclusivity and excellence.
The day culminated in a grand dinner banquet, where 250-300 guests gathered in the newly constructed pavilion, a state-of-the-art facility built specifically for this year’s event. The pavilion beside the 18th hole offered stunning course views and created an atmosphere of elegance and celebration. Folio.YVR Social Ambassador Bikki Singh attended as a guest of Yin Liang, Director at Aviso Wealth. Yin said, “The entire evening was an incredible showing of excellence by the team at GreenTee. The new pavilion, the tournament and its sponsors, and capping it off with such a meal in the company of so many of the city’s elite truly shows that Vancouver is an international city when it comes to designing world-class events.”
Dinner was a highlight, catered by Jess’ Restaurant, the exclusive dining sponsor. Guests were treated to a sumptuous 5-course meal, featuring gourmet dishes that delighted the palate. As they dined, the winners of the tournament were announced, with the atmosphere charged with excitement and anticipation.
