Following Up with the International Series Thailand!
Hot on the heels of the Black Mountain Championship, the excitement continues with the International Series Thailand, scheduled for October 24-27, 2024, at the renowned Thai Country Club. This famed course has been a favorite with golfers, holding numerous Asian Tour events over the years, including notable tournaments like the the 1997 Asian Honda Classic and the Thailand Open. Talk about a rich golfing history!
The International Series Thailand is not just another golf tournament; it’s a thrilling repeat from its first edition held in 2022, where golfer Sihwan Kim dazzled the audience with a stunning final round score of 63. In 2023, the title went to Wade Ormsby after he clinched victory in an unforgettable sudden-death play-off. Who knows what surprises await this time around?
What’s at Stake?
With these events being the fifth and sixth tournaments of the International Series – which comprises ten high-profile tournaments on the Asian Tour – players will pull out all the stops to secure those valuable ranking points and hefty cash prizes. The final six tournaments in this season will all occur within a nail-biting eight-week stretch, paving the way for exhilarating finishes!
This year’s competition will also include thrilling contests like the Indonesian Masters from October 31 to November 3, followed by the Hong Kong Open on November 21-24. The 2024 season will wrap up with the International Series Qatar from November 27-30 and the PIF Saudi International from December 4-7, which will include players from the LIV Golf League. Think of it as a grand finale for the season!
A Special Tribute to Thai Golfing Heritage
The golfing celebration does not end there! On December 20, 2024, the Thai Golf Foundation is planning a special tournament across 89 member golf courses nationwide to honor the King and celebrate the 120th anniversary of Queen Rambhai Barni’s birth alongside the 100th anniversary of Thai golf! Collaborating with six associations, the foundation is committed to nurturing the sport and even working on educational initiatives like a golf curriculum at Rangsit University.
So there you have it! With golf fever taking over Thailand, be sure to catch the action either on the lush greens of Black Mountain or the splendid Thai Country Club. Whether you’re an avid golfer or just a lover of the sport, these events promise to deliver fantastic moments and unforgettable memories. Buckle up for an exciting October 2024!
