CEBU Landmasters, Inc. (CLI) recently held its 6th CLI Golf Cup, gathering over 550 golfers and 76 sponsors at the Negros Occidental Golf and Country Club in Bacolod City.
Branded Swing with the Masters, the annual tournament has steadily grown since 2018, bringing together CLI partners for a friendly game while building stronger ties. This is the second time CLI has hosted a five-day tournament in Bacolod City, home to the company’s growing regional portfolio, which includes Citadines Bacolod City and four residential developments.
“The CLI Golf Cup has evolved into more than just a tournament—it’s a celebration of partnership, camaraderie, and our shared love for the game. We are deeply grateful for the unwavering support of our partners,” said CLI Senior Executive Vice President and COO, Jose Franco Soberano. “It’s truly a pleasure to host this event once again in Bacolod, a city that’s close to our hearts and central to our growth in the VisMin region.”
Beyond the fairways, the tournament supports community initiatives through the CLI Foundation. Part of the proceeds helps fund programs in housing, reforestation, education, and livelihood across Visayas and Mindanao. Since 2023, the Foundation has turned over two medium-rise socialized housing projects in Cebu and Mandaue City, providing permanent homes for families living in the river banks and those who lost their homes in the 2019 Barangay Tipolo fire, respectively. It also launched a tree-planting program that has grown over 400,000 native trees to help local reforestation.
Currently, the foundation supports 24 university scholars, runs technical-vocational training, and provides livelihood assistance to fisherfolk and farmers in VisMin through its GROW Program (Green Resources and Opportunities for Work).
The awarding ceremony at Citadines Bacolod City featured a raffle, giveaways, and a performance by the Reo Brothers. It was hosted by sports personality Gretchen Ho.
