A betting man would certainly put a wager down on the magnificent five to sparkle in our 2017 season, whether at home or abroad as the Asian Tour continues to expand its playing horizons following several exciting announcements of new tri-sanctioned tournaments with the PGA Tour of Australasia and European Tour.
In addition, such is the Tour’s growing depth in strength that a slew of other young and promising talents is simply waiting on the wings for their career breakthroughs.
Malaysia’s very own Nicholas Fung and Gavin Green, Thai teenager Phachara Khongwatmai and India’s Chikkarangappa S. are just a few names to watch out for in 2017, which promises to be another year to remember.
The slightly-built Fung finished a career high 12th on the Order of Merit with a wonderfully consistent season which was highlighted by four top-10s, an achievement equaled by 17-year-old Phachara, who finished in 14th place, and Chikkaranggapa, who was 27th on the money ranking.
Long-hitting Green, who came in second on the ADT Order of Merit last season to earn his Asian Tour card for 2017, is another exciting prospect who can make the world sit up to take notice of the emerging generation of young stars coming out from Asia.
The Asian Tour. This is #whereitsAT.
