“In addition, the Centara World Masters is backed by the Tourism Authority of Thailand and we have signed D’ablo Sportswear, a local Thai apparel producer, to supply official tournament shirts for participants and staff.”

Accommodation for the Centara World Masters will be at the Centara Grand Beach Resort and Banyan Resort, Hua Hin.

Lively social and entertainment events are scheduled for each night of the tournament, headlined by international acts at the welcome and farewell celebrations.

The Centara World Masters is being organised in collaboration with Asia’s leading dedicated inbound golf tourism operator, Golfasian.
Khun Nopporn Vuttikul, Lord Mayor of Hua Hin added his welcome to the Event.

“Hua Hin City is proud to support this event through my office, recognising the importance of golf tourism and welcoming golfers specifically to Hua Hin and generally to all of Thailand’s excellent resorts.

Events like this are not only a great source of community pride; they also bring social and economic benefits to the host community.
