Jason Day, Rory McIlroy to play charity golf match in Manila
The 3-day event, called 'Rory vs. Jason: Battle for a Cause,' is aimed at supporting a local charity

MANILA, Philippines – Golf stars Jason Day and Rory McIlroy will be visiting Manila from November 28 to 30 for a charity auction and a special exhibition match for a cause.

The 3-day event, called “Rory vs. Jason: Battle for a Cause,” is aimed at supporting a local charity as well as McIlroy’s own Rory Foundation and the Brighter Days Foundation for Day.

It will be a homecoming for the world number one Filipino-Australian Day, whose mother hails from Leyte. He is expected to “reconnect with his roots” during his time here.

The event will kick off with a dinner gala and a charity auction on November 28. Some memorabilia from Day and McIlroy, a 5-time major winner, will be auctioned off.

The event’s centerpiece, an exhibition match between the two stars, will take place on November 29 at the Pradera Verde Golf & Country Club in Lubao, Pampanga.

Day and McIlroy will get a chance to interact with Filipino golf enthusiasts on the final day with a “Beat the Pros Challenge.”

“I’m excited for my first visit to the Philippines and excited that I’ll be able to do some good for a charity,” Day said in a press release. – Rappler.com
