The annual golf contest between Swire, Jardine's and HSBC, known as Yipper's Chipper, is now in its 34th year. Three gentlemen – David Beauchamp from Swire, Alex MacKinnon from Jardine's, and Ian Menzies from HSBC – originally established the challenge match in Taiwan region. Ken Sien, who is a former auditor for the three companies from PWC, made his 34th appearance this year, honouring the past, present and future of the competition. Teams compete for a trophy, which is a model of Mr MacKinnon's family clipper, and a plaque, donated by Swire, symbolising the fun, camaraderie and sportsmanship of the annual event.

Since 1998, the Swire team in Taiwan region has won 11 championships in total. This year, the team included staff from Taikoo Motors and Cathay Pacific.
