Press Release

THE ROYAL TROPHY MATCH POSTPONED

The Royal Trophy match (between Asia and Europe) has been postponed as Thailand goes into a period of mourning following the death of Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, the elder sister of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
The Princess passed away on January 2 after receiving treatment for abdominal cancer in the hospital for the last six months. She was 84.
The Thai government announced a 15-day mourning period and asked that festive activities be suspended during this time as a mark of respect.
The Royal Trophy features teams from Asia and Europe competing for the Royal Trophy, which was graciously donated by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The event's third edition will be rescheduled at a later date.
