JOHOR BARU: Asian Tour executive chairman Kyi Hla Han has taken it upon himself to lure his good buddy and former world number one Vijay Singh to compete in the inaugural US$300,000 (RM1.05mil) IRDA Johor Classic, at the Royal Johor Country Club (RJCC) from Aug 9-12.
At stake in the tournament, making its debut in the Asian Tour, is the majestic Sultan Iskandar Cup, which will be given a new shine after it was left to gather dust when the Royal Johor Classic, with a RM500,000 prize money, was discontinued in 1990 after six years.
