The Asian Tour revealed the latest addition to their 2008 schedule on Wednesday with the announcement of a new tournament in Thailand next month.
The Singha Thailand PGA Championship will take place at the Santiburi Country Club Chiang Rai in northern Thailand from June 26-29, bringing the curtain down on the first half of the season. The event is the fourth Asian Tour event in Thailand this year.
"On behalf of our talented players, I would like to extend our fullest appreciation to Singha, Sports Authority of Thailand and the Thailand PGA for their commitment in this exciting endeavour," said Asian Tour senior vice president Gerry Norquist.
"They share in our vision and aspiration to promote professional golf and I believe the tournament will be very successful," he added.
"Over the past decade, Thailand has produced many great champions in Boonchu Ruangkit, Prayad Marksaeng, Thongchai Jaidee and Thaworn Wiratchant, just to name a few, and we are confident the Singha Thailand PGA Championship presented by The Sports Authority of Thailand will offer greater exposure and opportunity for the country's rising and young stars to excel in the game.
"We will continue to work closely with our key partners in Thailand to grow golf and it is tremendous to see that Thailand will now stage four tournaments on the Asian Tour this season."
