The All Thailand Golf Tour (or simply as ATGT) is the main professional golf tour in Thailand. All Thailand Golf Tour office is headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand. Originally the TPC Tour, it adopted the name All Thailand Golf Tour in 2008. [1]

Contents

The tour is open to professionals and amateurs. Tournaments are generally stroke play events held over four days of 72 holes with the cut being made after 36 holes.

History

The tour began in 1999 and was advanced by the first chairman of Asian Tour, Supphaphorn Marphongphong, who further gathered more support from other professional golfers in Thailand and correspondingly became All Thailand Golf Tour's first commissioner. Boonchu Ruangkit, professional golfer, has been the Chairman of All Thailand Golf Tour Tournament Player Committee (TPC) since 1999 and is still actively involved with ATGT's development.

In 2018, the Official World Golf Ranking announced that the All Thailand Golf Tour would be added into the world rankings starting in 2019. A minimum of five points are awarded for a win at a 72-hole event. [2]

Charity fundraising

All Thailand Golf Tour has similar beliefs as other leading golf tours such as PGA Tour, European Tour and Asian Tour in providing charitable contributions for society. Overall, All Thailand Golf Tour has donated over 1,000,000 Baht since 2009 and is the only domestic golf tournament in Thailand that actively conducts charitable work. [3]
