GOLF ASIA 21

T

he tournament, formerly the
HSBC Women’s Champions,
will take place from 1st to
4th March 2018 on the New Tanjong
Course at Sentosa Golf Club,
Singapore with defending Champion
and Olympic Gold Medallist, Inbee
Park, heading the field. It will mark the
climax of a special two-week festival of
world-class women’s golf at Sentosa,

which will open with the first-ever

instalment of the Women’s Amateur

Asia-Pacific golf championship, a new

R&A Asia Pacific Golf Confederation

event played on the same course at

Sentosa from 21st to 24th February

2018. HSBC, a long time global
      supporter of golfers at every level, has
      committed to inviting the winner of the
      2018 Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific
      to play in the newly named HSBC
      Women’s World Championship.
      HSBC, with the support of the
      Singapore Tourism Board, has
      planned some exciting enhancements
      at this year’s event to ensure that this
      popular tournament grows in stature
      as an all-rounded event. There will
      be plenty of activities like the popular
      Saturday night concert fixture and
      outstanding food and beverage
      options to enjoy for all the family,
      with a new atmospheric ‘Power Hour’
      introduced to take place at the close
      of play on each tournament day in
      front of the clubhouse on a bespoke
      stage featuring leading local bands.

There are also the HSBC-sponsored

ASEAN Connects and Women’s

Leaders Forums planned for the

Thursday and Friday of the 2018

HSBC Women’s World Championship

week respectively.

Reigning Champion, Inbee Park,

a seven-time Major winner, took the

opportunity to confirm that she will

be defending her title in March. She

commented, “This event is a very

special one to all of us on the LPGA. I

love the name change and it definitely

reflects the stature the tournament has

achieved over the years. I think it is a

really nice link up with the Women’s

Amateur Asia-Pacific tournament for

the winner to qualify and it is a great

idea from HSBC and the R&A. I look

forward to seeing which exciting new

young talent makes it through to the

HSBC Women’s World Championship

and to meeting her in March.”
