Asian Tour

The Asian Tour represents the pinnacle of professional golf in the region. Celebrated as the most vibrant, youthful and diverse golf tour in the world, it has built a reputation for intense competition on the course and warm camaraderie off it. The Tour, which was launched in 2004, is responsible for looking after the best interests of over 350 members, representing 35 countries managing a year-long schedule of events across five continents. With Asia being the next powerhouse region for golf, the Tour is the steward of its legacy. Central to its structure is the Asian Tour Order of Merit – a points-based player ranking system. Since 2022, The International Series has featured prominently. Consisting of 10 upper-tier events integrated into the schedule, the landmark initiative provides a pathway to the LIV Golf League via The International Series Rankings. The Tour is the official sanctioning body for professional golf in the region and a member of the International Federation of PGA Tours. Also, it is an affiliate of The R&A and all sanctioned events qualify for Official World Golf Ranking points. It controls its television production and distribution through Asian Tour Media (a joint venture with IMG) which broadcasts to over 100 countries worldwide. The Tour also operates the Asian Development Tour – the popular feeder circuit that nurtures the next generation of stars. Its eco-system also includes the Qualifying School which attracts over 650 entrants vying for 35 cards for the following season. In 2018, it set up Asian Tour Destinations – an affiliate network with exclusive, world-class golfing venues across the region. Rolex, Kweichow Moutai and Bluewater are the Tour’s three main partners. The Tour is headquartered on Sentosa Island in Singapore, home to the award winning Sentosa Golf Club – a member of Asian Tour Destinations.
