Over the past 23 years, Corporate Jamaica has supported the Liguanea Lodge Red Blazer Charity Golf Classic, which has, in recent times, raised approximately J$2 million for the Rotary Club of St. Andrew North and its education foundation. 

The event is modelled after the Green Jacket in the Masters on the PGA Tour.  

This year’s major sponsors include Innovative Energy Group and VM Group, with sponsorship support from ATL Automotive (BMW), Supreme Ventures Foundation, Microlabs, PROVEN Wealth, General Accident, Restaurant Associates and PwC Caribbean.

At the September 22 launch of this year’s Red Blazer Golf Classic, tournament co-ordinator Wayne Wray said to date, Corporate Jamaica has contributed J$1 million towards this year’s event set for November 1 at Caymanas Golf Club.

Wray said this year will mark the third time that the Liguanea Lodge and the Rotary Club of St. Andrew North Education Foundation will be partnering to support three community projects from the net proceeds of this year’s tournament. These include this year’s Rotary Club of St Andrew North’s major project to rebuild the performing arts and dance classroom at the St. Jago High School and the club’s secondary and tertiary student grants. 

“In addition, the Liguanea Lodge will be presenting a bursary at Kingston College in commemoration of its centenary year, through the institution’s annual Errol Alberga Sr Scholarship Fund”, said Wray.  

In appealing for support for the event, president of the Rotary Club of St. Andrew North Pierpont Wilson said:  “I look forward to this year’s golf tournament and its contribution to our J$7.5 million project to rebuild the performing arts classroom at St. Jago High School. I warmly invite past students, friends of St. Jago, and supporters everywhere — golfers and non-golfers alike — to come out and champion this worthy cause.”

The Red Blazer Golf Classic 2025 sign-in for golfers begins at 7:00 am, while the tournament for golfers will tee off at 8:30 am. The day will be packed with activities for golfers and guests to include entertainment, lunch, fellowship and the opportunity to test drive electric golf carts and EV cars. 

Organisers also say that there will be chip ‘n putt lessons for guests wishing to learn golf, while the golfers compete.
