What Makes This Stop Crucial on the Asia Swing?

1. Ranking Points on Home Soil – Asia-based pros can rack up PPA points without the long haul to North America.
2. Mid-Season Momentum – Nestled between July’s Kuala Lumpur Open and late-August’s Fukuoka Showcase, Hong Kong is the must-score venue before the sprint to the China Slam in October.
3. Equal Spotlight for Amateurs – Recreational players battle for nearly US $9,000 in prize money and the rare chance to share locker rooms with the sport’s superstars.
