20 years old and still devoted to Thai golf
The 2018 All Thailand Golf Tour will feature 10 series, four of them co-sanctioned with the Asian Development Tour (ADT), and offer a total prize money of over Bt 30 million.
All Thailand, one of the main professional domestic tours outside the Thailand PGA Tour, is in its 20th anniversary and serves as a springboard for local players to sharpen their skills before pursuing their career in the bigger arenas such as the Asian Tour, European Tour and PGA Tour.
“Over the past 19 years, we have produced many stars who have risen to international level, such as Pachara Khongwatmai, Rattanon Wannasrichan, Jazz Janewattananond and Poom Saksansin,” said Jakrapong Thongyai, commissioner of the All Thailand Golf Tour.
Rattanon won the season-opener in Khon Kaen last month and the next stop will be the Singha Masters in Chiangrai (March 22-25), which features prizemoney of Bt5 million.
The third event, the Singha Hua Hin Open from April 5-8 will be followed by the Singha Laguna Phuket Open from May 10-13, the All Thailand Premier Championship in Nakhon Pathom from May 24-27, the Singha Classic in Nakhon Nayok from June 28–July 1, the Betagro All Thailand Championship in Chonburi from July 19-22, the Singha Championship in Rayong from July 26-29, the Singha Chiang Mai Open from August 30–September 2 and the Singha Pattaya Open from October 11-14.
The dates and courses of the Thongchai Jaidee Foundation and Boonchu Ruangkit events, which are two of the four ADT co-sanctioned tournaments apart from the Singha Phuket Open and the Betagro All Thailand Championship in Chonburi, will be announced later this year.
The All Thailand Golf Tour has several European Tour as honorary members, including Nicholas Colsaerts of Belgium, Thomas Peter from Belgium and German Marcel Siem.
