Hong Kong Open
Home of the tradition-rich Hong Kong Open, one of Asia’s most prestigious professional tournaments, the Club is known throughout the world for its reputation as a first-class championship host.
As the venue for the historic Hong Kong Open, the oldest professional sporting event in the city and the second oldest professional golfing title in Asia, championship golf is at the very heart of Hong Kong Golf Club’s fabric.
The inaugural Hong Kong Open took place in 1959 and Club has played host to it every year since. Indeed, along with the Masters Tournament at Augusta National, the Hong Kong Open is one of only two professional golf tournaments that have been held at the same venue every year for more than half a century.
From fairly humble beginnings, the Hong Kong Open has blossomed into one of the most prominent tournaments in the region. Sanctioned by the Asian Tour and part of the elevated International Series since 2023, the event has been won by no less than 13 different Major champions, including such luminaries as Rory McIlroy, José María Olazábal, Greg Norman, Justin Rose and Peter Thomson, and has provided a collection of the most exciting finishes in Asian golf history. The 2024 Hong Kong Open, title sponsored by Link Asset Management, was won by Patrick Reed of the United States, who shot a remarkable 59 in the third round.
The Hong Kong Open has twice been voted by the players as International Series Tournament of the Year – in 2023 and 2024.
Outside of the professional game, the Club has over the years staged numerous prestigious amateur tournaments, including the World Amateur Team Championships – otherwise known as the Eisenhower Trophy – in 1984.
