Citizens Development Business Finance PLC (CDB) continues its strong partnership with the Royal Colombo Golf Club (RCGC), with the September edition of the CDB Monthly Medal announced at a media conference held on 5 August 2026 at the Royal Colombo Golf Club.
This year’s edition coincides with the launch of CDB Private Wealth, the Company’s new proposition for high-net-worth individuals and business leaders.
Now in its third consecutive year, CDB’s partnership with the Monthly Medal has grown beyond a golfing fixture, providing a platform for RCGC members to engage in a setting that reflects CDB’s broader focus on building lasting relationships within Sri Lanka’s business and professional community. The launchpad of the September Medal is the ideal platform to launch CDB Private Wealth, as it offers direct access to the Company’s affluent client base in a relevant, engaged setting.
The CDB Monthly Medal – September Edition will be held on 11 and 12 September 2026, open to RCGC members across the Men’s and Women’s categories. Alongside the tournament, the event will include networking and hospitality components, giving CDB the opportunity to introduce Private Wealth to members directly, in addition to its continued sponsorship of the fixture.
CDB MD/CEO Mahesh Nanayakkara said: ‘Our continued partnership with the Monthly Medal is about far more than sport. It is a platform that lets us engage meaningfully with a community that values excellence, discipline and relationships – the very same values that define CDB Private Wealth. Launching this proposition alongside our third year with RCGC reflects our commitment to building genuine, lasting connections with Sri Lanka’s business community, on and off the course.’
Royal Colombo Golf Club Captain Mahela Jayawardena said: ‘With CDB joining the RCGC as title partner for the third consecutive year, the steadfast support given by CDB has elevated the Monthly Medal into one of the most anticipated fixtures in the Club’s calendar. Beyond the game itself, this partnership brings our members together in a spirit of community, and we are pleased to see it grow into a platform for wider engagement, as with the introduction of CDB Private Wealth this year.’
