LODE PEETERS : « COMPETE NATIONALLY, PLAY LOCALLY — THE NEW FORMAT OF BGLC GIVES COMPANIES THE FREEDOM TO PLAN THEIR SEASON »
The Belgian Golf League Corporate is gearing up for an exciting 2026 season, promising a truly premium experience where business meets golf.
"The Belgian Golf League Corporate is where business meets a premium golf experience," says Lode Peeters, BGLC Chairman. "BGL Corporate is more than a golf league — it’s a platform to connect and build lasting business relationships while enjoying the game at its finest."
This year, BGLC introduces a new, flexible format: Play Locally, Compete Nationally. The concept is simple: companies can now choose the events that best fit their schedules, play on their preferred courses, and still compete for the national title. The approach maximizes both golf and networking opportunities without compromising the premium experience.
Thibault De Saedeleer, BGLC Director, explains:
"Companies can select the events that work best for them, tailor the experience for their teams, and compete for the national leaderboard. The ultimate goal is flexibility, while maintaining the high standards our participants expect, culminating in a grand final at the end of the season."

Flexible Participation: Companies pick 5 out of 7 events across Belgium, adapting to their schedules.
Premium Golf Venues: Events will be held at top-tier courses including Royal Antwerp, Royal Latem, National Golf Brussels, Royal Bercuit, Royal Waterloo, Golf Club 7 Fontaines, Golf de Naxhelet, and Royal Golf Club du Hainaut.

National Recognition: Points accumulate across rounds, leading to qualification for the Grand Finale on 11 September 2026.
Premium Client Experience: Every event combines golf, networking, hospitality, and branded gifts — designed to impress clients, prospects, and teams alike.
