Online forex brokerage giant ATFX will once again sponsor the annual international golf series, The Duke of Edinburgh Cup, UK Qualifying Event 2024. This tournament originated in the UK and has expanded into a global sporting event. Since it was established in 2000, the event has reportedly raised over £5.3 million for charitable causes benefiting young people worldwide.
The Duke of Edinburgh Cup: A Global Initiative
The Duke of Edinburgh Cup events have taken place in more than 24 countries, helping children and young people overcome hardships and lead better lives, ATFX mentioned. In each event, the hosting country crowns its national champion, who competes in the World Finals in England.
Weems Chan, ATFX's Global Head of Marketing, mentioned: "We are excited to once again partner with the Duke of Edinburgh Cup 2024, and the first time in Cape Town, South Africa. For the past six years, ATFX has been a proud supporter of this wonderful event, which raises funds to help young people and children in need in different countries and has gone towards making a real difference in their lives."
"It's an honor to be part of the meaningful golf events again, which are supported by HRH, Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, who empowers youth and gives back to the community."
The tournament follows handicap rules in the Stableford style, adhering to R & A or USGA rules. Qualifiers from each event, funded by the tournament, advance to the finals week, which includes a welcome dinner, three rounds of golf, and a black-tie prize-giving dinner at Windsor Castle.
Supporting Communities Globally
ATFX has expanded its reach to support communities worldwide. The company believes in the importance of caring for the next generation, making its partnership with The Duke of Edinburgh Cup a natural fit.
On October 21, 2023, the Turkey Qualifiers took place at the Gloria Golf Club Belek in Antalya. As the event's official partner, ATFX's Chairman Joe Li and Managing Director Wei Qiang Zhang attended and engaged with local dignitaries and participants. This event was particularly significant as it raised funds for children and young people affected by the devastating earthquake in Turkey in February 2023.
