The maiden staging of the Ever Glory ADT Open will commence an exciting new three-event swing in Chinese-Taipei on the Asian Development Tour (ADT) this July – the Asian Tour’s secondary Tour confirmed today.

The US$100,000 event will be played at Tong Hwa Golf & Country Club, in New Taipei City, from 8–11 July, marking the circuit’s first appearance of the season in one of the region’s golfing strongholds.

It will be followed in successive weeks by the Ambassador ADT Open and the HCT ADT Open – marking the first time the ADT will have staged three events in a row there.

The event has come to fruition thanks to the support of the Ever Glory Construction Group, who is title sponsoring a golf event for the first time.

“This marks a major milestone in Ever Glory Construction’s involvement in professional golf,” said Hsieh Chien-kuo, Chairman, Every Glory Construction.

“We firmly believe in golf’s values of discipline, precision, and consistency. They align strongly with our core business management principles.

“We are confident the tournament will make a positive impact on golf in Chinese-Taipei. We want to create greater playing opportunities for home grown players and help them to benefit from the pathway that the Asian Development Tour provides to the Asian Tour. The Ever Glory ADT Open will also strengthen our integration with international golf.”

The field size will be 144 players, with 68 from the ADT and 64 PGA of Taiwan professionals. There will be six invites from the ADT and six from the promoter.

Said Ken Kudo, General Manager, ADT: “The launch of the Ever Glory ADT Open is tremendous news for our Tour and members. It means we now have three tournaments in a row in Chinese-Taipei – which is an ideal scenario for our members to benefit from.

“Staging tournaments in Chinese-Taipei is always a great experience, and we are truly grateful to Every Glory Construction, the PGA of Taiwan and Tong Hwa Golf & Country Club for their vision and support.”
