The 63rd Hong Kong Golf Open has been scheduled to take place between 21 and 24 November this year, at the Hong Kong Golf Club (HKGC) in Fanling, LIV Golf has reported.
The competition, offering a prize pool worth more than US$2 million, appears to be the Asian Tour’s penultimate event for the year and comes as the HKGC celebrates its 135th anniversary.
The captain of the Hong Kong Golf Club (HKGC), Andy Kwok, said he looked forward to “boosting the event and the club’s stature in the game by welcoming back a wonderful selection of world-class golfers and fans from right across the Greater Bay Area and beyond.”
Cho Minn Thant, the Asian Tour’s commissioner and CEO, noted that the HKGC’s “iconic course” was voted joint-best course of the year last season. “I am sure more accolades await,” he said.
