Another month has gone by but the good news keep pouring in!
It gives me great pride to welcome Panasonic as a new sponsor of the Asian Tour. Panasonic becomes our Official Consumer Electronics Tour Partner, which reinforces its support for professional golf across the region. The deal with Panasonic also sees the launch of the “Panasonic Swing.”
It will feature five tournaments - 2017 Thailand Open, 2017 Panasonic Open India (November 2-5), one Asian Tour sanctioned event in Malaysia and Indonesia in 2017 and 2018 Panasonic Open Japan. In a nutshell, the Panasonic Swing ranking will be based on an aggregate points system earned by players at the five tournaments. The top three finishers in the Panasonic Swing final ranking, which culminates with the 2018 Panasonic Open Japan, will earn US$70,000, US$50,000 and US$30,000 respectively via a bonus pool reward scheme.
