Hong Kong’s first golfing Olympian gets a welcome boost to kickstart her professional career with support from a Swiss Bank.
Private Bank EFG has announced a three-year sponsorship deal with defending EFG Hong Kong Ladies Open champion Tiffany Chan Tsz-ching.
The partnership, which was inked at a signing ceremony, is the first for the 23-year-old since she turned professional two weeks ago, the bank said in a press release.
Financial Backing
EFG’s support of Chan is a long-term one and it extends beyond the elite junior development programme in which Chan was a participant throughout her teenage years.
When Chan decided to pursue her university career and improve her golf game in the U.S. in 2013, EFG offered her financial support in the form of a scholarship.
Global EFG Ambassador
The formal sponsorship announcement affirms the Swiss bank’s commitment to support one of Hong Kong’s best, to help kickstart her career as a professional golfer.
«We are delighted to have Tiffany onboard as EFG Global Sport Ambassador for the next three years, we look forward to working with Tiffany, and we will do what we can to ensure she experiences a smooth and successful transition from amateur to professional,» said Albert Chiu EFG International Head of Asia Region.
