Each player competing in this year’s tournament, which took place at Sentosa Golf Club between 2nd – 5th March 2023, as part of the LPGA, received a participation Golfer’s slider. Specially designed for the participating golfers of the HSBC Women’s World Championship 2023, the pieces have been inspired by the specially created HSBC orchid, the Papilionanda Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, commissioned by NParks to mark HSBC’s contributions towards the biodiversity and conservation in Singapore, while it is also a representation of the relationship and shared values between HSBC and Singapore.
