The Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc., on Saturday reset the scheduled Sunday staging of the ICTSI 2023 Junior PGT Series leg at Pradera Verde Golf and Country Club in Lubao, Pampanga.
This was due to the continued NLEX snarl-up caused by massive flooding in the Tulaoc area in San Simon, Pampanga.
“We have been closely monitoring the traffic situation at NLEX, and it has become apparent that the congestion is likely to continue. In this regard, we regret to inform you that the tournament committee has decided to postpone the Junior PGT event (at Pradera Verde) to a later date,” said the organizing PGTI in a statement.
“We apologize for the inconvenience this might have caused you (participants). We will be in touch for further updates regarding the event.”
Forty-eight players are scheduled to vie for top honors and ranking points in the boys’ 13–14 and 15–18 age categories and the girls’ 15–18 age categories in Round 3 of the JPGT Series under the 18-hole stroke-play tournament put up by ICTSI and held at various championship courses.
The series also features the drive, chip, and putt skills challenge.
The NLEX management said flooding in the Pampanga area could persist until early next week. It has already fortified its sandbags in affected areas and started siphoning flood waters through pumps.
The recent rains and floods in Northern Luzon and some areas of Metro Manila were caused by Super Typhoon Egay and the southwest monsoon.
