THE Chhun On Golf Resort in Phnom Penh, Cambodia will host an International Series event in 2025 after being added to this year’s tournament calendar.
The International Series Cambodia, presented by Royal Group, is scheduled as the sixth of 10 LIV Golf-backed events across the season in a tournament that brings together a mix of LIV Golf stars and top performers on the Asian Tour.
Chairman Kith Meng of the Royal Group welcomed the “Bringing The International Series to Cambodia, and the Chhun On Golf Resort, is a major milestone for us in the development of the golf industry and tourism in our country, which under the 7th Mandate of the Royal Government, Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister of Cambodia, is supporting and welcoming of such sporting tourism events,” Kith Meng said.
“By hosting the International Series in Cambodia, we are not only promoting our beautiful country on a global stage but also inspiring our youth and local communities to engage with sports. This event will serve as a catalyst for tourism and hospitality industries while showcasing the rich culture and hospitality that Cambodia has to offer.
“We are committed to making this an unforgettable experience for players and spectators alike, and we look forward to welcoming everyone to Chhun On Golf Resort this October.
“With a world-class field of LIV Golf and Asian Tour players, Cambodia will be firmly on the map and fans all over the world will be able to see the incredible calibre of courses and facilities we have in Cambodia.”
Located around 45 minutes north of downtown Phnom Penh, the Lakes Course at Chhun On Golf Resort, the first of two planned championship golf courses, is a stunning Brian Curley design featuring Zeon Zoysia fairways and Zoysia Primo greens, ensuring quality playing surfaces.
Chhun On is a world-class facility which is predicted to soon be rated amongst the best courses in Asia.
The new event builds on already strong connections with the country fostered by the Asian Tour. Angkor Golf Resort in Siem Reap is an Asian Tour Destinations venue that hosted the Handa Faldo Cambodian Classic in 2012, and the ADT Players Championship presented by The R&A last year, a landmark event aimed at growing the sport in the country.
Cho Minn Thant, Commissioner & CEO of the Asian Tour added.
“This is another important date in the calendar for the Asian Tour. Cambodia is a country we have forged strong links with on a number of levels over the years,” he said.
First introduced through a landmark investment with LIV Golf in the 2022 season and now in its fourth year, The International Series is a set of 10 enhanced events on the Asian Tour schedule which offers elevated prize funds, world-class destinations, and a pathway to the LIV Golf League for golfers from all over the globe.
The International Series Cambodia events will be played from October 9-12. For more information on The International Series, visit www.internationalseries.com
