𝗕𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆’𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲, 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄’𝘀 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀

At 𝗖𝗟𝗔 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗦, we believe the best workplaces are built not only on performance — but also on people, culture, and the small moments that brighten our day.

As part of our regular treats for the team, we brought an artisan coffee cart into the office — freshly prepared by a professional barista (with latte art to match!).

🎥 Watch the highlights and catch the moments where colleagues took a well-earned break, recharged, and connected over a cup of coffee.

Because sometimes, the simplest pause becomes the start of a great conversation—and new opportunities ahead.

CLA Global TS is proud to mark its fourth consecutive year of participation in The Straits Times and The Business Times Corporate Golf League 2026. This year, the firm demonstrated a stronger competitive edge, underscored by dedicated practice sessions and strategic team selection for each round under the competitive category. At the same time, CLA Global TS continued to strengthen relationships within the business community, engaging clients through their participation.

Henry Tan, Group CEO and Chief Innovation Officer, CLA Global TS said: “The ST-BT Corporate Golf League continues to be a powerful platform for us to connect with clients and the wider business community in a meaningful and authentic way. What makes golf truly special is the uninterrupted time it provides for genuine connection in a relaxed yet competitive setting. This year, we were pleased to bring together some of the strongest golfers within our network to deliver our best performance across all five rounds—while continuing to enjoy the spirit of the game and the camaraderie it fosters. Thank you to our clients and associates who joined us at this year’s Corporate Golf League—your support and time made it truly meaningful.”

A key highlight of CLA Global TS's participation this year was the inclusion of young golfers from the Singapore Golf Association’s (SGA) national holding and development squads in most rounds, in line with the firm’s partnership with Singapore Golf Association to support emerging national talent. Notable national golfers who played with CLA Global TS include Brandon Han, Daryl Loh, Wei Jun Ng and Shmuwel Soh, all of whom are in their early twenties. This initiative underscores CLA Global TS’s commitment to strengthening the business community while creating meaningful exposure and competitive opportunities for the next generation of golfers.

“Having young national players from the Singapore Golf Association join our team is one way we contribute to the development of the sport by creating opportunities for emerging talent. We are especially proud to bring together strong business golfers alongside rising national players—creating opportunities, sharing insights, and building connections across generations through sport. That’s the real win for us,” added Henry Tan.
