Driven by unfinished business, Guido van der Valk returns to The Country Club Invitational with redemption firmly in mind, seeking a third championship when the premier event unwraps on Jan. 27 at the demanding TCC course in Canlubang.
‘It’s always great to play the TCC Invitational, and anytime you tee it up here, you want a chance to win,’ said Van der Valk, a two-time champion whose familiarity with the course’s subtleties has long been one of his greatest strengths.
At 45, however, the Dutchman is keenly aware that opportunities like this do not come endlessly – especially with a new wave of younger, longer-hitting players surging through the Philippine Golf Tour, joined by battle-tested international campaigners.
‘I don’t have many years left to win it,’ he admitted candidly.
