Welcome to a sporting extravaganza where football legends trade soccer cleats for golf clubs, stepping up for a tournament that promises to be above par in every sense. The Reignwood Icons of Football in partnership with Singha Corporation is all set to dazzle Bangkok at the picturesque Robinswood golf course. It’s a dazzling deflection from the football pitch to the golf fairway, creating a unique blend of skill sets as these global icons prepare for a sporting showdown like no other.
In this star-studded affair, the finesse of bending a football shot will meet the finesse of a precise golf swing, providing fans with a blend of worlds that’s sure to be a hit—you might say, a hole-in-one! As this magnificent event gears up to be the talk of the town, sports enthusiasts can expect an explosive combination of thrilling music and world-class entertainment, all anchored by a stellar lineup of football greats chasing glory on the greens.
Marking its Asian debut, the Icons Series has Team England, captained by none other than Lee Westwood, set to face off against Sergio Garcia’s equally formidable Team World. Imagine Paul Scholes, Robbie Fowler, Joe Hart, and John Terry swinging it out alongside Luis Figo, Gianfranco Zola, Gabriel Batistuta, and Carlos Tevez. It’s like merging a penalty shootout with the gentle silence of golf—a scenario that’s an exhilarating tug-of-war waiting to happen.
The weekend of March 1-2 will witness Thailand’s beloved beverage brand Singha adding a refreshing twist to this vibrant spectacle, enhancing it with immersive lounges and gardens that promise the ultimate fan experience. With every curious golf shot and nuanced putt, spectators can enjoy hospitality that’s nothing short of genius, making this fusion event a grand celebration of sportsmanship.
Thomas Brookes, the visionary CEO of Icons Series, highlighted the unparalleled privilege of partnering with Singha Corporation. “This alliance seamlessly marries the worlds of golf and football with our roster’s extraordinary talent. With Singha’s support, we’re shaping an unforgettable experience at the Robinswood Club.” Adding to the chorus of excitement, Jay Thongyai from Singha was equally thrilled, emphasizing the event’s potential to unite innovators and sports aficionados. “Being part of this iconic event in such a beautiful setting is simply inspiring,” he proclaimed.

The concept of footballers playing golf is ridiculous! They’ll embarrass themselves on the golf course.
I disagree, Chris. Many athletes excel in multiple sports. It will be interesting to see how they adapt.
Maybe you’re right. I’ll keep an open mind, but I’m still skeptical.
I think it’s going to be entertaining no matter what. They’re seasoned athletes.
This is just a publicity stunt exploiting these athletes’ fame. It’s hardly about the love of the sport.
It’s a great way to promote both football and golf. Plus, it’s for a good cause too!
You’re missing the point, Zara. It’s merging two awesome sports for a unique event.
If it promotes charity, why charge so much for tickets?
Can’t wait to see which footballer has the best swing. My money’s on Robbie Fowler!
Joe Hart actually has a pretty good swing. It’s anyone’s game, really!
True, Joe could surprise us all. I’m just a huge Fowler fan.
For a weekend pass at 1,100 baht? That’s a steal for such an event!
Agreed! Plus, kids get in for free with an adult. Perfect family weekend.
I am excited about the cultural blend and the unique twist this event brings. Plus, Singha’s add-on promises fantastic hospitality!
It’s going to be more like a festival than a sports event. I think that’s brilliant.
Exactly, Justina! It’s an immersive experience, not just a match.
Why wouldn’t they broadcast this on FIFA’s channels? Seems like a missed opportunity.
I’m just here for Carlos Tevez and his antics on the golf course!
Tevez on the greens should be a riot. I bet he’ll bring his flair to the fairway.
Exactly what I’m hoping for! Pure entertainment.
Honestly, I think this event is a genius way to expand golf’s audience. Exposure to a different kind of crowd.
Sounds nice, but I’ll be more impressed if they can play golf with a football! Now that’s a challenge.
The organizers have truly done something amazing by fusing sport entertainment and cultural allure. Bravo!
Is anyone else just excited to see if Lee Westwood can whip up Team England to beat Sergio’s World team?
Team England doesn’t stand a chance against the world squad. Too many seasoned golfers.
You might be right! But that’s why we watch, isn’t it? To see unexpected twists.
VIP tickets at half price still feel overpriced. I’d only buy if I got to play a round with the stars!
I think the integration of football and golf is overdue and revolutionary. Let’s see this become an annual tradition!
Will they have merchandise? I’d love a fusion-themed jersey or cap as a keepsake.
