KUALA LUMPUR: There will only be 13 Asian Development Tour (ADT) co-sanctioned events on the PGM Tour’s calendar next year – two fewer than last season.

But at least 10 of them will be held in the first six months. And that’s good news for Malaysian golfers, who will have a significant number of world ranking tournaments at home to help them chase qualification for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
