140 Years of Excellence: Mercedes‑Benz Philippines Hosts 18th MercedesTrophy Golf Tournament

Mercedes‑Benz Philippines celebrated its 140 years of global innovation in style, teeing off with the 18th MercedesTrophy Golf Tournament last March 16, 2026, at the prestigious Sta. Elena Golf and Country Club in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

A Tradition of Excellence

Now on its 18th edition, the MercedesTrophy has become more than just a golf tournament—it’s a tradition. It brings together valued customers, partners, and members of the motoring and lifestyle community for a day defined by sport, camaraderie, and the unmistakable prestige of the three‑pointed star.

This year, over 100 distinguished players competed for coveted titles and the chance to win extraordinary hole‑in‑one prizes, including the all‑electric EQS SUV and EQE Sedan—symbols of Mercedes‑Benz’s future in sustainable luxury mobility.

The all‑electric EQS SUV stands tall as the flagship of Mercedes‑Benz’s future—combining spacious comfort, cutting‑edge technology, and zero‑emission performance. A symbol of sustainable luxury, it redefines what Filipino families and enthusiasts can expect from an SUV built for tomorrow.

Sleek, dynamic, and fully electric—the EQE Sedan embodies the perfect balance of elegance and innovation. With its aerodynamic design and intelligent features, it delivers the thrill of driving while championing Mercedes‑Benz’s commitment to a cleaner, smarter future on Philippine roads.

The tournament was made possible through the support of brand partners:

Paramount Life & General Insurance – Official Event Partner
Platinum Sponsors – Jewelmer, Okada Manila, Turkish Airlines, TW Steel
Gold Sponsor – Security Bank
Silver Sponsors – Airbus, Dalmore
Special Donor – Shell Philippines

Together, these partners helped create an event that blended sport, luxury, and lifestyle in true Mercedes‑Benz fashion.
