Mercedes-Benz stages six Masters tournaments in SE Asia

The one in Singapore will be the first tournament to be played on Laguna National Golf and Country Club's new World Classic layout.

Mercedes-Benz Masters tournaments in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam are part of this year's Mercedes-Benz Tour which offers record prize worth US$580,000.

Mr. Wolfgang Huppenbauer, President & CEO of Daimler South East Asia Pte. Ltd., said, "It promises to be another outstanding year for the Mercedes-Benz Tour which will once again provide a platform to showcase the tremendous amount of talent that exists in Southeast Asia.

"It is very encouraging to see young golfers from the region play with such skill and confidence on the Mercedes-Benz Tour and then move on to achieve greater things. With such a fine line-up of tournaments in 2010, Mercedes-Benz is looking forward to raising the bar even further," he added.

The fourth season, set to be the strongest to-date, commenced with the Mercedes-Benz Masters Philippines last 14 to 17 April and will end with the Mercedes-Benz Masters Indonesia at Emeralda Golf and Country Club in Jakarta from 20 to 23 October. The season-ending Tour Championship will feature the top-60 players from the Mercedes-Benz Tour Order of Merit.

A.C. Wong, Executive Chairman, ASEAN PGA said: "We are in very good shape this year, thanks to our friends in the ASEAN member countries and the sponsorship of Mercedes-Benz. We launched the ASEAN PGA Tour in 2007 with five tournaments and that has now doubled."
