Get Ready for an Exciting October of Golf!
Golf lovers, mark your calendars! October 2024 is shaping up to be a fantastic month for enthusiasts and players alike, with two thrilling tournaments lined up as part of The International Series. In case you didn’t know, this series is a highly regarded collection of upper-tier tournaments on the Asian Tour—and it’s about to get even better!
Double Delight with Back-to-Back Events
The action kicks off with the Black Mountain Championship, running from October 17-20 at the stunning Black Mountain Golf Club. This will be the very first edition of this tournament, and it’s already creating quite the buzz! Following that up, we have the International Series Thailand happening from October 24-27 at the well-established Thai Country Club, a venue that has hosted numerous Asian Tour events over the years.
A Glimpse at the Prize Money
Both tournaments will boast a generous purse of US$2 million each, contributing to a whopping total prize fund of US$23.5 million for the entire 2024 season. Over these two events, players will be vying not just for the glory but also for critical ranking points and their share of this massive prize money.
Upcoming Action: The Final Six Tournaments!
These two tournaments are the fifth and sixth in a series of ten tournaments that form part of The International Series, and they’re crucial as the season approaches its climax. After these events, there will be three more tournaments in quick succession over an eight-week stretch, featuring the Indonesian Masters from October 31-November 3, the Hong Kong Open from November 21-24, and wrapping up with the International Series Qatar and the PIF Saudi International where LIV Golf League participants will join in.
Defending Champions and Venue Highlights
Turning the spotlight to the defending champion, Wade Ormsby is set to defend his title at the International Series Thailand after his nail-biting victory in a sudden-death playoff in 2023. Just a reminder, the inaugural event took place in 2022, where golfer Sihwan Kim made headlines with an impressive final round of 63!
Both Black Mountain Golf Club and Thai Country Club are not just beautiful settings; they’re steeped in golfing history. Black Mountain has already hosted seven events since 2009 and was the backdrop for the last two International Series Thailand tournaments, while Thai Country Club has a legacy that stretches back to events like the 1997 Asian Honda Classic and the Thailand Open.
Talking About Future Developments!
As the excitement builds for the October tournaments, it’s not just professional golfers getting revved up. The Thai Golf Foundation is also gearing up for an amazing day of celebration on December 20, 2024. They’ll host a special tournament across 89 member golf courses to honor the King. This event will commemorate the 120th anniversary of Queen Rambhai Barni’s birth and mark the 100th anniversary of Thai golf— quite a significant milestone!
The foundation is also playing a big role in developing the game further, working alongside six associations to promote golf throughout the country. They’re even creating educational initiatives, such as a golf curriculum at Rangsit University. How cool is that?
