In his opening remarks, Encik Nik Mustapha, General Manager of Professional Golf of Malaysia, highlighted the successes of the Elite Junior Programme and ongoing junior golf clinics, emphasizing their role in nurturing young talent and promoting inclusivity in golf. The #GolfForGood event further underscores the positive impact of the Toyota Tour, which has been instrumental in advancing both professional and junior golfers since 2023.
Encik Nik Mustapha also expressed gratitude to the Ministry of Youth and Sports for their continuous support of the #GolfForGood initiative. He noted, "Together with the Ministry, we share a common goal of promoting sports, particularly golf, to foster inclusivity and advance the nation’s sports agenda."
Ms. Kok Lee Min, National Director of SOM, mentioned, "This year marks the 25th anniversary of Special Olympics Malaysia. We are honored to have received a Special Award at the National Sports Awards for our performance at the Special Olympics World Games Berlin 2023, where Team Malaysia won 4 gold, 5 silver, and 9 bronze medals. We now look forward to preparing for the 2027 Special Olympics World Games in Chile, aiming to compete in Level 3 and 4 events, including 9-hole and 18-hole golf."
Over the past six months, SOM athletes have participated in 12 bi-weekly golf lessons with professional coaches from MST Golf Academy and The Golf Lab, who volunteered their time.

The event's highlight was a short game on the green, where Toyota Tour players interacted with SOM athletes in a chip and putt activity. This engagement not only showcased the athletes' skills but also emphasized the importance of inclusivity and community support.
The Toyota Tour aims to become a premier domestic golf circuit globally, bridging the gap between professional and amateur golf and strengthening the sport's development in Malaysia. The ongoing collaboration between PGM, UMW Toyota Motor, and MST Golf strives to make golf accessible to all and continuously support the growth of the sport locally.
The #GolfForGood event between the Toyota Tour and Special Olympics Malaysia demonstrates the power of sports to unite and inspire individuals with disabilities.
