ROYAL’S CUP GOLF TOURNAMENT

The first ever Royal’s Cup, now one of the opening events in the Asian Tour’s new season, is due to take place at the end of this month at the Grand Prix Golf Club in Kanchanaburi (originally scheduled for March 2020, but postponed due to the Covid crisis). Offering a total purse of US$400,000, the tournament is promoted by Grand Prix International, the company behind the Bangkok International Motor Show, and as such a number of cars are to be offered as hole-in-one prizes on every par-3 hole. Several Thai golfers are expected to compete, including Phachara Khongwatmai, who won the US$1 million purse at the Laguna Phuket Championship – also part of the Asian Tour – back in December.
