Asian Tour 2022 Yearbook Released



 Asian Tour 2022 Yearbook Released

Recharged, refreshed and revitalised, the Asian Tour emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic with flying colours in its first full season back in action.

Bolstered by the forging of a key partnership with LIV Golf, the launch of the International Series, and an innovative initiative with the Ladies European Tour that saw two co-sanctioned mixed events, featuring leading players from both circuits, 2022 proved to be a year to remember for the Asian Tour.

In commemoration of what was a truly tumultuous campaign, the Asian Tour has published a lavish 152-page hardback Yearbook.

As well as reports, results and evocative images from all 20 tournaments that were staged across 12 countries, the coffee table publication includes a special feature on Order of Merit winner Sihwan Kim and a moving tribute to Kyi Hla Han, the inspirational Asian golf flag-bearer who passed away in early 2022.

There are also recaps on the disrupted 2020-2021 season and the Asian Development Tour’s welcome return to action in 2022.

Cho Minn Thant, Asian Tour Commissioner & CEO, said: “The Asian Tour is at the beginning of an extraordinary moment in history, enjoying a period of exponential growth.

“Much of the early narrative is encapsulated in the Yearbook, arguably one of the most essential editions to date as it has such an important story to tell.”

To relive all the memorable moments from the Asian Tour’s 2022 season, a digital version of the Yearbook can be viewed at https://golfasia.sg/issues/asiantour-2022/

When November swings around it’s time to roll out the red carpet as a plethora of mega stars from Bollywood fly into Goa to celebrate the International Film Festival of India (IFFI). The week long extravaganza brings glamorous actors and directors from the film fraternity in contact with fans of the big screen. This year’s event happened between the 20 th  and 28 th  of November in Panjim and was extra special for me. On the sidelines of the main event, an open air football film festival was organised by Serendipity, which took place from the 22 nd  till the 27 th  of November at the Children’s park in Campal. The idea behind the screenings was that Goans love football, so this would attract them towards attending the glitzy annual event. The friendly German professor, Jans Tilman was the curator of the football documentaries and was present to interact with the audience before and after the movies. This was actually Jan’s second trip to Goa as he previously organised similar foo

Doha winner Aryna Sabalenka: ‘I lost my dad in the pre-season.

The 21-year-old secured her sixth WTA Tour title and third Premier 5 trophy with a solid victory over the eighth-seeded Kvitova, winning 6-3, 6-3 in one hour and 14 minutes. The ninth seed broke in game four of the first set and games seven and nine of the second to ease to victory. Sabalenka revealed afterwards how tough the past few months have been on her following the death of her father. “It was a long journey here and I put everything on tennis,” the Belarusian said. “I was actually only playing tennis and focusing on tennis and nothing else. And I think I gave everything for tennis. “I just lost my dad in the pre-season and he was my biggest motivation, and I’m doing it for him.” The world No 13’s last four titles were all w
