the winning team of each national final going on an all-expenses-paid-trip to the World Finals where they have a chance to become World Champions.”
The new owner chose Thailand for the event to promote the local talent. The tournament will take place on 17 March at the Greg Norman-designed course, Thana City Golf & Sports Club, which is located on the outskirts of Bangkok.
The purpose of the tournament is to provide the amateurs of Thailand a feel of playing in a Professional Golfers Association tournament. According to the details disclosed in the tournament, 72 teams comprising of 144 participants will play in the final
event which will stretch on an 18-hole layup.
David also explained that all the World Corporate Golf Challenge events will comprise of amateur handicap golf tournaments where a duo will be entitled to represent the participants.
The leaders from each tournament will head towards the World Finals with an all-expenses-paid trip. The World Finals will take place on 3 May, 2011 and would continue until 8th of the month.
