Nick Faldo launched the Faldo Series Asia in 2006 to bring opportunities to young people in Asia through golf and to help identify and nurture the region's next generation of champions.
Part of The Faldo Trust for Tomorrow's Champions (Asia) Limited, the Faldo Series Asia provides opportunities to talented young golfers in Asia and simultaneously introduces younger children to the game across the region.
Faldo Series Asia tournaments held in different countries and territories across Asia give leading young golfers, male and female aged 11 to 21, the opportunity to experience top-level competition under strict tournament conditions. Players also benefit from an educational seminar on a topic relating to golf, enabling them to develop an all-round knowledge of the sport.
At the same time, younger children from the local community have the opportunity to attend Faldo Series Asia tournaments and experience golf for the first time, both as spectators and participants.
The leading players from each Faldo Series Asia tournament qualify for the Faldo Series Asia grand final, together with invitees from other Asian countries. This prestigious event is hosted by Nick and played on the Faldo course at Mission Hills Golf Club in China, home of the Faldo Series Asia and officially the world's largest golf resort.
Nick spends time with the finalists and plays with the winners. He also selects invitees to compete in the annual Faldo Series grand final in Europe. Results count towards The R&A's World Amateur Golf Ranking.
Underwritten by Nick, the Faldo Series Asia is supported by The R&A, together with a number of brands and businesses. It is sanctioned by the Asian Tour and the Asian Pacific Golf Confederation.
