Saudi Golf boost for Asian Tour

Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, host venue of the US$5mil Saudi International tournament.

THE Asian Tour is looking forward with great enthusiasm to the 2022 season and beyond.

Much of this positive energy is borne out of the partnership struck up with Saudi Golf, to host the Saudi International – a tournament that will have prize money of US$5mil next February.

For the first three years it was sanctioned by the European Tour.

Now, as the regional circuit prepares to restart tournament play with an event in Thailand next month, after an absence of some 19 months, TeeUp conducted a wide-ranging interview with its Commissioner and chief executive officer Cho Minn Thant.
