Amber Financial is honored to serve as a co-sponsor of the 8th Annual “Baydo Cup” Vancouver Chinese Amateur Golf Team Championship, which successfully launched on May 27, 2025, and has since concluded its group-stage and regular matches as of June 9.
This premier event, proudly named after title sponsor Baydo Group, and co-sponsored by Amber Financial and VirgoCX, has quickly become one of the most influential community sporting events in the local Chinese-Canadian community. The tournament brings together over 200 amateur golfers across 12 teams, and runs through June 27, culminating in a Charity Awards Gala to celebrate athletic excellence and community spirit.
A Prestigious Format, A Community Celebration
The 2025 “Baydo Cup” adopts the internationally renowned Ryder Cup-style format, featuring Four-ball, Foursomes, and Singles Matchplay rounds. The competition balances teamwork, strategic play, and individual performance — providing a compelling experience for both participants and spectators.
This year’s tournament includes teams from across the Greater Vancouver area, such as the Golden Bear Team, White Rock Team, Star Team, and Friendly Team, among others. All teams consist of a combination of core and alternate players, reflecting both competitive standards and strong community representation.
Highlights & Milestones
A major storyline during the group stage was the dramatic sudden-death playoff on June 9, where the Star Team edged out West Canada Team in a gripping final-hole victory to claim second place in Group B.
The next phase of the competition includes:
- Challenge Round: June 13
- Semi-Finals: June 16–17
- Grand Final: June 23–25
- Charity Awards Gala: June 27
All matches are held at Greentee Golf Club, with increasing excitement building toward the crowning of this year’s champion.
Giving Back: “Swing with Love” Charity Initiative
Beyond the competition, this year’s event is also a platform for community engagement and philanthropy. In collaboration with the Canadian Liver Foundation, the organizing committee has launched the “Swing with Love” initiative — encouraging players and supporters to give back through birdie donations, team memorabilia auctions, and individual contributions.
Amber Financial is proud to support a sporting event that not only celebrates athletic achievement, but also empowers the community to make a meaningful impact.
