HUA HIN, Thailand, 12 May 2022: Golfers worldwide joined the seventh edition of the Centara World Masters Golf Championship this week, marking a welcome return for Asia’s biggest tournament for club golfers after a two-year hiatus.
Golfers teed off on Sunday 8 May, and the grand celebrations
for the victors take place Saturday 14 May, when the winners pick up prizes
totalling USD30,000.
The tournament has attracted golfers from over 20 countries,
including Australia, New Zealand, India, Germany, the US, the UK, Vietnam, and
Thailand.
The golf action is underway at the Banyan and Black Mountain
courses, with participants aged 35 and over competing across a range of age and
handicap divisions – a popular format that sees golfers pitted against peers of
a similar age and standard.
The Centara World Masters is a collaboration between
Australian-based Go Golfing, which has been hosting World Masters Golf events
around the world for 27 years, and Thailand-based Golfasian, which looks after
more golfers travelling to Asia than any other golf tour operator.
The official tournament hotel Centara Grand Beach Resort
& Villas Hua Hin hosted the opening night welcome dinner, with the Tourism
Authority of Thailand, Chang and Coke, also partnering with Golfasian and Go
Golfing to present the event.
Golfasian Managing Director and Tournament Co-Director Mark
Siegel highlighted the significance of the event’s return in 2022, noting:
“The event provides a substantial boost for Thailand tourism and comes
amid the country’s broader reopening for international travellers”.
