Lexus Philippines honored one of the country’s top golfing talents this week as brand ambassador Miguel Tabuena received a brand-new Lexus LBX. In a turnover ceremony held at the recently opened Lexus Manila Gallery, the LBX, dressed in a bright Passionate Yellow paintwork, was handed over to the champion golfer, followed by a victory dinner to celebrate his recent achievement.
Tabuena won top honors at the 2025 International Series Philippines, a win that added another milestone to his strong portfolio of victories in professional golfing. Competing against a world-class field with big names such as Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, and Charl Schwartzel, Tabuena stood out as he secured the tournament victory, boosting his momentum in the regional and international playing fields. The tournament, held from October 23 to 26 at the Sta. Elena Golf Club in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, served as part of the 2025 Asia Tour calendar and provided players with a pathway toward qualification for the LIV Golf League.
Tabuena has built a solid reputation as one of the country’s most successful professional golfers, with multiple victories and consistent showings on the Asian Tour. His most recent achievement at the International Series Philippines reinforced his standing as a leading contender in the global scene.
To celebrate his victory, Lexus awarded him with the LBX, its latest premium subcompact crossover. Lexus chose the particular model as it resembles Tabuena’s determination to win. According to Lexus, the LBX brings youthful design elements, intuitive onboard technology, and a smooth hybrid powertrain in a compact package. Its powertrain integrates the 1.5-liter 3-cylinder gasoline engine, electric motor, and battery to deliver efficient fuel use and a comfortable drive for daily mobility. The cabin emphasises comfort and modern convenience, offering an accessible yet premium entry point into the Lexus ownership journey.
For Tabuena, whose career demands frequent travels on the road, the LBX aligns with his active lifestyle while showcasing Lexus craftsmanship in a versatile, contemporary form. The reward also reflects Lexus’ continued support for Filipino excellence and its recognition of achievements that bring added prominence to Philippine sports in the international scene.
