Singapore, 3 September 2025 – CLA Global TS and the Singapore Golf Association (SGA) are pleased to announce a strategic partnership in support of SGA’s High-Performance initiatives aimed at nurturing young athletes and golfers in their sporting development. This three-year collaboration will see CLA Global TS join as a Corporate Partner of SGA. Through its financial contribution, the partnership seeks to strengthen Singapore’s high-performance sports ecosystem for junior and amateur golfers, creating winning opportunities in regional and international competitions.
Mr. Henry Tan, Group CEO & Chief Innovation Officer of CLA Global TS said: “We are proud to support young national golfers through our partnership with the Singapore Golf Association. At CLA Global TS, giving back to the community has always been a core part of our identity—particularly through education, where we have consistently supported emerging talent in the accountancy industry via scholarships and book prizes. On the sporting front, our regular participation in purpose-driven golf events—such as The Business Times Corporate Golf League—alongside our previous seven-year partnership supporting the Singapore National Women’s Floorball Team, reflects our belief in the power of sports to advance meaningful causes. Extending our support to young golfing talents is a natural progression of our commitment. This partnership aligns strongly with our long-standing social impact efforts, empowering youth to thrive in both education and sports. It also reinforces our dedication to corporate social responsibility, with a focus on youth development, sporting excellence, and inclusivity—strengthening our brand reputation through purposeful engagement.”
Mr. Joshua Ho, CEO of Singapore Golf Association said: “The Singapore Golf Association is delighted to welcome CLA Global TS onboard as our newest partner. We are pleased they shared the same vision as the SGA in strengthening the golf ecosystem in Singapore where youth development and high performance play important roles.
Since the launch of the SGA’s High-Performance Programme (HPP), the association has nurtured outstanding talent who continue to make history for Singapore on the international stage. This partnership contributes to SGA’s High-Performance and Junior Development Programmes, offering financial support and access to the High-Performance Training Centre for elite national players, particularly junior and amateur golfers, empowering the next generation of Singapore golfers. Beyond training, the High-Performance Programme also supports pathway development, sports science and medicine, competitive opportunities, and community engagement initiatives. These efforts are designed to empower Singapore’s golfers to pursue their Olympic aspirations and achieve personal excellence both on and off the course.
Nurturing Young Talent Through Support in Education and Sports
Since 2008, CLA Global TS has been awarding scholarships to financially needy students in local universities and polytechnics. In its latest initiative, the firm launched its first Scholarship and Mentorship Programme for students from the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), aiming to extend equal opportunities to those from diverse educational pathways.
In its support for sports, CLA Global TS has long championed the celebration of women in athletics and was the first partner of the Singapore National Women’s Floorball Team in 2017, maintaining a seven-year long-term partnership. In 2022, the firm extended its support to the Women’s Under-19 National Youth Floorball Squad, with the aim of nurturing rising talent and future national players.
Driving Meaningful Social and Business Impact through Purpose-driven Golf Events
CLA Global TS actively supports charity golf events organised by non-profits and partners, raising funds to empower young family champions, assist at-risk youths, support needy seniors, and aid students from low-income families. The firm is also a regular participant in The Business Times Corporate Golf League, aiming to foster meaningful connections among clients, business associates, and the broader corporate community.”
“At CLA Global TS, our Corporate Purpose is to create winning opportunities for our People, our Clients, and our Communities. On the business front, we play a strategic role in driving client growth. Whether in business or sport, we believe success stems from strategy and collaboration. Our partnership with the SGA reflects these values, as we work closely with the golfing community to nurture young talent. This initiative aligns with our tagline, ‘Your Growth, Our Game Plan,’ underscoring our commitment to both business excellence and meaningful social impact through youth development and sport,” added Mr. Henry Tan.
