Sampath Bank Private Banking takes the lead as Title Sponsor of this edition of the Royal Colombo Golf Club Monthly Medal Golf Tournament, marking the Bank’s third overall year of association with one of Sri Lanka’s most distinguished golfing events. The tournament will take place on the 24th and 25th of April 2026, bringing together over 300 players from across the island in a competition that blends sporting excellence with a distinguished social atmosphere.

This sustained partnership reflects a clear and consistent direction, where Sampath Bank Private Banking continues to align with events that create meaningful connections and shared experiences as part of a broader, lifecycle-led approach to client engagement. The Royal Colombo Golf Club, long regarded as a cornerstone of the country’s golfing landscape, offers an environment where relationships are built with intent, mirroring an approach that extends well beyond transactional interactions.

Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Asanka Liyanage, Deputy General Manager, Consumer & SME Banking at Sampath Bank, said, “Sampath Bank Private Banking is designed as a proposition that goes beyond conventional banking, bringing together bespoke banking privileges, curated wealth and legacy strategies, and experiences that extend into lifestyle and personal interests. Our continued role as Title Sponsor reflects a deliberate commitment to creating opportunities for meaningful engagement in spaces where relationships are built over time.”

The tournament continues to evolve in scale and stature, introducing a series of elevated rewards that add to its competitive appeal. The overall winners will receive Business Class return tickets to Singapore, while a defining highlight this year is the introduction of a Rs. 2 million cash prize for a Hole-in-One achievement. The tournament will also feature dedicated male and female categories exclusively for Sampath Bank clients.

The sponsorship was formally commemorated at a cheque handover ceremony held recently at Sampath Bank’s Head Office, signalling the continuation of a partnership that has strengthened in relevance and impact over the past three years. The tournament will culminate in a grand prize-giving ceremony, followed by an exclusive cocktail reception, creating a natural extension of the experience where players and guests can engage, connect, and reflect in a relaxed setting. Sampath Bank Private Banking’s presence at the Royal Colombo Golf Club reflects a considered alignment with platforms that embody both distinction and relevance. Bringing together sport and social interaction, the partnership creates an environment conducive to meaningful connections, reinforcing a proposition that goes beyond banking to deliver experiences that resonate well beyond the course.
