About the Hong Kong Open
Founded in 1959, The Hong Kong Open is one of the Asian Tour’s most iconic golf tournaments, Hong Kong’s oldest professional sporting event and is recognized as one of Asia’s premier professional golf tournaments. It has a history and heritage that no other tournament in Asia can match.
Staged at Hong Kong Golf Club since the tournament was established, it is the only golf tournament in the world, apart from the US Masters at Augusta National Golf Club, to stay at the same venue for 60 consecutive years.
The 2023 Hong Kong Open sees the event return after a three-year hiatus due to Covid and will be part of the International Series on the Asian Tour offering a prize purse of US$ 2 million. It will be a spectacular showcase of both international and local sporting talent, including local hero, Taichi Kho, as well as a host of major champions and stars of the game.
