History of Ladies Asian Golf Tour
The Ladies Asian Golf Tour (LAGT) celebrated the 29th anniversary in 2012.
Officially launched in 1987 as the Kosaido Ladies Asia Golf Circuit (LAGC)
in 5 countries, the first chapter lasted 17 years before the Main Sponsor,
Kosaido Company of Japan, terminated the contract due to the passing away
of its Chairman, Mr. Yoshiaki Sakurai in 2003.Those early years the prize
moneys were in the range of US$50,000 – US$70,000. However, many wellknown players such as Lisolette Nuemann, Sofia Gronberg from Sweden,
Mardi and Karen Lunn, Corinne Dibnah of Australia and Il Mi Chung from
Korea played on the Ladies Asia Golf Circuit as the launching pad to further
their career. Prior to the official launching of the Asian Tour, there was an
Asia Golf Circuit initiated by Mr. Koichi Kato of Japan and his colleague,
British Mr. Michael Gedye from 1983 – 1986.
The participating lady professionals then consisted of mostly American,
European and Japanese golfers with very few Asian players and the fields
numbered between 65 – 80 golfers. With the guidance from the late
Edmund Yong of Malaysia, the LAGC was sanctioned by the Asia Pacific Golf
Confederation (APGC) since its inception as an official Asian ladies’ tour.
After one-year gap the Tour was re-launched in 2005 by Mr. Koichi Kato
of Japan, Mrs. Rae Vadee T.Suwan of Thailand and Mr. Aylwin Tai of Hong
Kong as the Ladies Asian Golf Tour (LAGT) with 4 events in Taiwan, China,
Singapore and Thailand. The Thailand Ladies Open in 2005 was cosanctioned with the Ladies European Tour (LET) with the prize money of
US$330,000.
The following year in 2006 the number of tournaments went up to 5 to
include Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, China and Macau with prize
moneys from US$50,000 – US$100,000.
In 2007, India joined the Tour for the first time and her winner was the
freshly – turned professional from Taiwan, Tseng Ya-Ni, while Thailand Ladies
Open also produced another world-class winner, Shin Ji-Yai from Korea. The
Asia Miles Binhai Open in China was tri-sanctioned with the KLPGA and
LET and offered the highest prize money of US$230,000. At this stage, the
1
Ladies Asian Golf Tour welcomed the recognition and financial support from
the R&A for its role in the development of ladies golf in Asia by providing
rule-officials’ subsidy to the Tour.
In 2008, four eventswere held in Thailand, India, Binhai and Taihu Suzhou,
China. Both events in China were tri-sanctioned and offered the big
purse of US$300,000. The Taihu Suzhou tournament was won by Annika
Sorenstam who afterward retired from active tournament. Prize moneys put
up in Thailand and India were raised to US$120,000. Then both venues
also produced the same winner back to back in Pornanong Phatlum from
Thailand.
The LAGT experienced a setback in 2009 when only 3 tournaments were left
to be hosted in Thailand. India and Suzhou Taihuin China. The well-seasoned
Onnarin Sattayabanphot of Thai won the title in Thailand, while another
Thai, Pornanong Phatlum maintained her great form to retain her title in
India. Suh Bo-Mi from Korea hit her jackpot by winning the tri-sanctioned
Suzhou Taihu Ladies Open with the Eiro 200,000 prize offered and entitled
to pay the LET tour for two years seasons.
The following year in 2010, the LAGT welcomed a new event in Indonesia,
increasing the number of tournaments to 5. The prize money in Thailand
was raised to US$150,000 then and Lee Jung Min from Korea emerged the
winner. The first event in Indonesia was held in Bali with the prize money of
US$120,000 and another Korean, Lee Solar captured the championship title
there. Two tri-sanctioned tournaments in Sanya Hainan and Suzhou taihu
offered the same prize money of Euro 200,000, which the same player Lee
Ann Pace from South Africa won both Opens. The Indian Womens Open
was, however, won by the famous British golfer, Laura Davis in 2010 when
the event became a tri-sanctioned tournament with the Ladis European Tour
(LET) , Womens Golf Association of India (WGAI) and the LAGT, offering the
prize fund of US$300,000.
More tournaments have been added to the Ladies Asian Golf Tour in 2011.
A few of them were unofficially linked to the LAGT for the benefits of the
LAGT members. They included 4 events in Taiwan. Also a new tournament
was introduced in Japan as the Yumeya Dream Cup, offering the prize money
of US$130,000. This addition turned out to be a very successful attention
as several thousands of Japanese golf enthusiasts went to watch the ladies
in action. The organizers were so pleased with the tournament success
that they decided to double the prize money to US$260,000 for 2012. A
2
Ladies Asian Golf Tour
new tournament in Japan was scheduled after the Thailand Ladies Open in
February which offered the US$130,000 prize money.
The 2012 tournaments schedules on the Ladies Asian Golf Tour therefore
had9 – 10 events including another new tournament in Miyazaki, japan for
the ladies to challenge their skills and provide more incentive to the players
with more prize moneys being put up. In Thailand Ladies Open the prize
money has been increased to US$150,000 and a maximum fields of 130
entries have been acceopted from 16 countries.
It has been a long and bumpy road from 1983 to 2012 for the development
of ladies golf in Asia. Today the number of Asian lady golfers has been grown
into thousand and many more are on the way. No word can sufficiently
express our sincere appreciation to many generous sponsors, supporters,
contributors, organizers, tournament hosts and those volunteers who were
involved in our many championship. Hopefully the golfing sprit among
this sport lovers will keep the ball rolling and the LAGT moving forward
successfully for many years to come.

Message from the Ladies Asian Golf T
Tour
As the President and Commissioner of the Ladies Asian Golf Tour, I am honored to Ightlight
that we are highly appreciative of the sponsors, the promoters, the host golf courses and media
for their invaluable support in making the event a great success. Their gift is a valuable
contribution in enhancing the profile of Asian womens golf.
For the players, Beside their secondary aim of winning money, the primary aim of the LAGT
players is to interact with the players of diverse nationalities playing the event and in particular
to assimilate the different cultures and traditions of the people in those Asian countries.
Thank you again and let me ensure that the objective of producing more Asian women
professionals on the world stage is beginning to take shape now.

MEDIA
A perfect start to the media-friendly week for each
Tour tournament week started with 'meet-the-playerssession' press conference and media releases by LAGT
Media Manager, where journalists were able to get an
insight into some of the global household names.
The easy access to the players for journalists continued
throughout the tournaments with the accessibilith of an
interview room (media centre) and the players loungein this case the golfers decks of the golf clubs. There
were also live-scoring on the LAGT website. Daily
round leaderboard players were brought to the media
centre for interviews.
TV DISTRIBUTION
A satellite feed (delayed highlights) to Europe and
Asia (for ESPNStar) was done by LAGT Productions
and Guandong TV (a 24-hour golf channel in China)
OPTIONAL TO BE CONFIRMED

PROMOTIONAL
CAMPAIGN
E ye - c a t ch i n n g , w e l l - e x e c u t e d c a m p a i g n s a n d
promotions were held for each tournament to generate
interest and awareness by way of street buntings placed
along strategic routes and high visibility boards at
strategic locations.
Other promotional campaigns were via the media
releases.

On-Ground Signages were also erected at strategic
locations to aid spectators and visitors to both the
clubhouse and the golf course.

WELCOME
RECEPTION
As a curtain raiser to the tournaments, welcome dinner
or cocktails were help for players, officials and the
media for greater interaction. Guests were spoilt for
choice with the fabulous array of food and free flowing
drinks served.
Exchanging jokes and stories, the players and guests
had plenty to cheer about, giving the reception an air of
festivity.
The fun continued till late night though the players had
all left and a memorable night was held by all.

PRO-AM
The LAGT events are most popular and exciting golf
days of the year. Sponsors and guests get an immense
thrill by getting to play in a competition with some
of the best women professional golfers. In some
tournaments, the Pro-Am event took place a day before
while some took place the day after the final round.
Due to the overwhelming response the Pro-Ams were
held in two sessions-morning and afternoon.
10
GOLF CLINICS
Primarily LAGT's focus is to mould Asian women
professionals into world beaters, but simultaneously
the Tours also complements the tourism aspects of the
countries where the Tour tournaments are being held.
Another joint objective is for the women professionals
to conduct golf clinics at all the venues where the
Tour tournaments are held. This was a great success
as the clinics attracted between 50 and 100 juniors at
all the venues where the Tour tournaments were held.
Primarily, this is to aid the countries in the development
of golf at grassroots level and enhance the interest of
golf. Many junior players aged between six and 18
benefited from the tips and guidance from the Tour's
women professional players who willingly came
forward to spend four hours with the children by giving
useful lessons in the art of striking the ball, putting and
chipping.

TV Production - OPTIONAL TO BE CONFIRMED
The highlight show to be aired on Star TV is actually 52 minutes long - what is referred to in
the TV world as an international one hour programme. The other minutes of the hour are taken
up with commercials, programme announcements and so on. Within this format there are
several opportunities for sponsors.
The first is a 30 second commercial spot, for which we may use an existing TV tourism
commercial if one is available, or we can produce one for the sponsor.
The second is a section of the programme devoted to the local tourism area. This would
normally be in two parts: an introduction with commentary explaining the beauty of the local
area, or its golf courses, or its tourism - whatever was appropriate; and secondly, a feature on
the players when they are not playing - which also promotes the tourism of the area.
Thirdly, we would normally include an interview with someone from the sponsor - perhaps the
Minister of Toursim, or a local important person who can talk about the importance of tourism.
It is difficult to be exact on the timings of all these features until we film, but it is usually about
4-5 minutes.
As to the scheduling, Star TV would normally like to air approximately 10 -12 days after the
event. On some occasions, we will ask for this to be delayed - if, for instance, the sponsor
would like the programme aired at a more suitable time, like a good holiday booking period,
or perhaps would like to show the programme to the Organising Committee before it is
broadcast.
The programme shall be generally on-aired in those countries like China, India, Malaysia,
Philippines and Thailand.
However the choice of the area can be modified in accordance
with the sponsor's requirement if the network is available. The Star South-East Asia feed covers
Brunei and Indonesia; Star Sports Asia covers Vietnam (though English only); there is a local
feed for Star Sports Taiwan; Korea is available through MBC ESPN Korea, but J-Golf may be a
better feed, though at extra cost. So - all are available in the basic proposal: only Korea may
require an extra placement fee. The LAGT events are normally broadcast on Star in 23 countries
in Asia - all the major countries except Japan and Korea.
Distribution can also be arranged in other areas, such as Europe or Australia, but there may be
extra costs involved
The basic cost shall be U$35,000 including production & broadcasting, which is subject to
final confirmation.
