OneAsia Tour
Encyclopedia
OneAsia is a men's professional
golf
tour
based in the Asia-Pacific
region. The tour was founded in 2009 as a joint venture between the PGA Tour of Australasia
, the China Golf Association, the Korean Golf Association and the Korean PGA. The Japan Golf Tour
has been invited to participate in the project, but has not committed to do so, and the tour has not yet held a tournament in Japan. OneAsia is a rival to the longer established Asian Tour
, with which it has very bad relations. In its first year, tournaments on the tour were allocated world ranking points
as if they were PGA Tour of Australasia tournaments. Since 2010, the tour has had world ranking status in its own right.
. The series would initially comprise of six events, three in China
, two in Australia and one in South Korea
, with plans to expand in later years.
The introduction of the OneAsia series has not been universally welcomed, with strong opposition coming from the Asian Tour
in particular, with support from its members. All of the six events announced for 2009 were existing tournaments, including some already sanctioned by the Asian Tour
. One of them, the Pine Valley Beijing Open, was called off a few weeks before it was due to be held. The organisers officially attributed this decision to the state of the course and a clash of dates with The Players Championship
on the PGA Tour
, but some media commentators dismissed these reasons since the tournament had clashed with the Players Championship the previous year as well, and attributed the cancellation to sponsor discontent with the sanctioning changes.
Following a meeting of the Official World Golf Rankings Committee at the Open Championship in July all OneAsia events have been awarded Official World Golf Ranking points.
