Asian Tour and Ladies European Tour join forces for two new Thailand events, US$1.5 million and world ranking points to be won

The Asian Tour and Ladies European Tour have joined forces to put on two exciting new mixed tournaments in Thailand, with tour membership, world ranking points and US$1.5 million up for grabs.

Trust Golf, part of the TCT Corporation, will host the Asian Mixed Cup and the Asian Mixed Stableford Challenge as part of the Trust Golf Asian Mixed Series.

The tournaments will see the leading stars on the Asian Tour and LET compete twice in the space of a fortnight at the Waterside Course at Siam Country Club near Pattaya on April 7 to 10 and on April 13 to 16.

Both events will feature 60 Asian Tour players and 60 LET players, along with 24 sponsor invitations, playing for the same prize fund and trophy.

Each tournament will offer a prize fund of US$750,000, along with Official World Golf Ranking points. Race to Costa del Sol and Order of Merit points will be awarded to players from both tours respectively.

“I’m always extremely keen on mixed formats as golf is the only sport allowing people of all ages and genders to play together,” Dr Prin Singhanart, Trust Golf’s founder, said. “I would like to provide a pathway for Thai talents both male and female. If a female golfer wins outright, they will earn membership to the LET, and if a male golfer wins outright, they will earn membership to the Asian Tour.”

Alexandra Armas, CEO of the LET, called the two tournament “important steps in the continued growth of the LET.”
