OneAsia embarks on their eighth season in 2016 boasting a strong list of lucrative tournaments across the region.

A total of nine events, each boasting over US$1 million in prizemoney, are planned for the year starting with the Volvo China Open at Topwin Golf & Country Club from April 28 to May 1.

Korea’s three flagship events, the GS Caltex Maekyung Open, the SK Telecom Open and the Kolon Korea Open once again make up the exciting North Asia swing.

Tournaments in China, Thailand, Indonesia and Fiji are also planned with details being finalised before the season comes to an end with the Emirates Australian Open at Royal Sydney Golf Club.

The season officially starts next month when the Qualifying School tees-off at Sutera Harbour Golf and Country Club in Sabah, Malaysia, from March 1 to 4.

“OneAsia will once again offer a multi-million dollar circuit featuring many of the most prestigious events in our region,” said David Parkin, Director of Tour Operations, OneAsia.

“We boast a schedule that has huge potential to accomplish our mission of creating a Tour that will allow players from Asia-Pacific to go on to become world beaters.”

This year players will attempt to match Korean Moon Kyongjun’s majestic 2015 when he claimed the OneAsia Order of Merit title with earnings of US$224,953.

He marched to victory on home soil in the GS Caltex Maekyung Open.

OneAsia was founded in 2009 by the China Golf Association, the Korea Golf Tour, the Korea Golf Association and the PGA of Australia and is the first ever circuit in the region that covers the whole of the Asia-Pacific rim.
