“Malaysia has the potential to be a leading golf tourism hub, especially with the number of high-quality courses that we have across the country,” he said after launching the event.
Also present was Tourism Malaysia advertising and digital division senior director Mohd Amirul Rizal Abdul Rahim, who is the VM2026 head secretariat.
Participants will tee off on the East Course on July 12 and West Course on July 13, using the System 36 format.
