The brand hosted the Pete's Par-Tee mini golf tournament on Monday, Sept. 18, at the Power Plant Mall in Makati, reminiscent of where it opened its first store 14 years ago. 

The nine-hole competition featured a mix of nine pairs of sports personalities battling it out in style and comfort. 

“The brand is really rooted in sports, we have a golf line, a tennis line and a pickle ball line. These three are very much in the DNA of the brand,” Ms. Cheryl Lee, CEO of Original Penguin said. 

“We also plan an Original Penguin Sports store that will just only carry golf, tennis and pickleball. But that will be in two years time,” she added.
