The 2021 HSBC Women’s World Championship kicked off on April 28 with a unique launch event celebrating the game-changing sustainability initiatives of tournament host Sentosa Golf Club.   Recently named ‘The World’s Best Golf Club’ and ‘The World’s Best Eco-Friendly Golf Facility’ at World’s Golf Awards, Sentosa is calling for golf clubs around the world to pick up the mantle on sustainability.

Sentosa Golf Club is demonstrating how golf courses can make a significant difference through reducing carbon and protecting endangered species to help reverse climate disruption. It was the first golf club in the world to join the UN Sports for Climate Action and is spearheading a call to action for the golf industry to respond to climate change titled ‘GAME ON.’ The initiative highlights that it is time for golf to act upon the issue of climate change and unite the game’s key stakeholders with the wider golfing community to implement new modern processes to the betterment of the environment.

World No.1 Jin Young Ko, Olympic gold medallist and World No.2 Inbee Park, World No. 10 Minjee Lee, former World No.1 Lydia Ko and Major winner Georgia Hall took time out of their preparations for ‘Asia’s Major’ to learn more about Sentosa Golf Club’s sustainability endeavours and initiatives that included electric car charging, a sustainable herb garden, removal of plastics, hand removal of weeds to minimise the use of pesticides, state of the art irrigation equipment for water management, lithium battery powered golf carts and bee colonisation.
