Asian Tour Stars Head to Hong Kong Open 2026
Thai golfer Pavith Tangkamolprasert leads a contingent of 21 Thai players at the 65th Hong Kong Open, competing for a $2 million prize pool and major tournament spots.
According to Khaosod Online, the 65th edition of the Hong Kong Open is set to take place from October 22 to 25, 2026, at the Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling. This event marks the 13th tournament of the 2026 Asian Tour season.
Pavith Tangkamolprasert, currently leading the 2026 Asian Tour Order of Merit, is heading a group of 21 Thai golfers among the 138 total participants. The tournament features a total prize purse of $2 million USD (approximately 66 million THB). Beyond the financial rewards, the competition serves as a critical qualifying opportunity for players aiming to secure spots in two major golf championships scheduled for next year.
For residents and visitors in the region, the tournament highlights the historic significance of the Hong Kong Open, which is the oldest golf tournament in the territory. The competition will be held on a 6,732-yard, par-70 course. While the event is a major draw for sports enthusiasts, those planning to travel to the Fanling area during these dates should anticipate increased activity around the golf club. It remains to be confirmed which specific players will ultimately secure the major championship berths, as the final results will only be determined following the conclusion of the four-day event.
