Hong Kong PGA announced on 9 April 2010 the association is honored to have Fortis, one of the largest international insurance companies as Title Sponsor of The Hong Kong PGA Championship and Order of Merit for the next three years and the first Championship will be played in the 4th quarter 2010.

The Fortis Hong Kong PGA Championship 2010 will be the 27th playing of this prestigious tournament on the Hong Kong golfing calendar and the impressive list of past winners include European tour winner Carl Mason, the 1999 Asian tour OOM winner, Kyi Hla Han and, of course, China’s favourite, Zhang Lian Wei.

Fortis will also sponsor a series of 3 Order of Merit events with prize money of HK$70,000 for each event to be played during the year over different courses in Hong Kong. Champion of the Order of Merit will go on to represent Hong Kong in the World Cup Qualifier and also qualify for the Hong Kong Open.

In recent times, Fortis has increased its sponsorship in golf through a number of events and it was pleased to tie-up with the Hong Kong PGA, said Stuart Fraser, CEO, Fortis Insurance Company (Asia) Limited. Fortis is very proud to be the title sponsor of the Hong Kong PGA Championship and the Order of Merit for the next 3 years. We have always taken an interest in the local golf scene and this sponsorship will ensure that our many PGA members will have an opportunity to compete on a regular basis and to incentivise them to work on their golf games, said Fraser.

Hong Kong PGA President Wilson Choy is pleased to welcome Fortis as the Title Sponsor of both the PGA Championship and the Order of Merit. We believe our association with Fortis will further raise the profile and importance of the Hong Kong PGA. As professional golfers, our members are always looking for opportunities to compete and we thank Fortis for providing us with a platform to showcase some of our very talented players, said Choy.

The Hong Kong PGA Championship will have a purse of HK$300,000 and it is an objective of both Fortis and the Hong Kong PGA to invite some top players from the Asian region to participate in the tournament.
