US PGA Tour gets a toehold in Malaysia
The US PGA Tour is following the lead of the European Tour and gaining a foothold in Asia.
The Americans have reached a multi-year deal with the Asian Tour to stage the Malaysia Asia Pacific Golf Classic.
The event will be played late next year at The Mines Resort and Golf Club, with the winner receiving $1 million from the $6 million purse.
The top 25 players from the US PGA Tour's final FedEx Cup standings and the top 10 available players from the Asian Tour money list will get spots in the 40-man field.
The event also will include five sponsor exemptions and at least one Malaysian professional will be guaranteed a spot at The Mines.
Dates of the tournament were not announced.
