HONG KONG’S OWN TIFFANY CHAN TO CHALLENGE WORLD’S BEST AT ARAMCO TEAM SERIES PRESENTED BY PIF – HONG KONG

Hong Kong golf sensation Tiffany Chan is set to grace the grand stage of the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF – Hong Kong and compete alongside some of the world’s best, such as world No. 2 Lilia Vu, world No. 4 Jin Young Ko and Chinese stars Xiyu Lin and Muni He. Chan will bring a distinct local flair to the prestigious tournament when it takes place at her home club, Hong Kong Golf Club, from 6 to 8 October 2023.

Chan’s journey to the international golf stage is a tale of inspiration. Born in Hong Kong, the 30-year-old made history when she became the first player from the region to earn an LPGA Tour card. Before embarking on her LPGA journey in 2018, Chan showcased her prowess on the Epson Tour, making the cut in 9 out of 13 starts, which included four top-10 finishes, highlighted by her season-best performance at the Decatur-Forsyth Classic.

In the five years that Chan has competed on the LPGA Tour, she had her best showing last year, securing two top-10 finishes, including a standout T-4 finish at the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational. Before turning professional in 2017, Chan won twice on the Taiwan LPGA and also captured back-to-back NJCAA individual national titles at Daytona State College in 2014 and 2015.

Chan has represented Hong Kong on the grandest stages, participating in both the 2016 and 2020 Olympics, and she’s set to shine at the 19^th Asian Games in Hangzhou, which takes place a week before the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF – Hong Kong.

With the advantage of playing on her home course and crowd support, Chan expressed her eagerness to make her mark at the inaugural Aramco Team Series presented by PIF – Hong Kong:

“I can’t wait to tee off against the world’s best in such a unique playing format on my home course, in one of the most prestigious global golf events to grace Hong Kong. Knowing the course gives me an advantage, and I hope to turn that advantage into victory.”

The Aramco Team Series presented by PIF – Hong Kong is the fourth stop of the global golf series and features a prize purse of US$1 million (HK$7.8 million). The event will see 28 teams of four – three professionals and one amateur – competing over two days at the Hong Kong Golf Club for the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF team title, while a three-day individual stroke play contest will see the stellar 78-player field competing for the individual title along with valuable 'Race to Costa del Sol' and Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking points.

Andy Kwok, captain of Hong Kong Golf Club, remarked: “Tiffany is a great talent, and it’s an honour that she will be able to represent Hong Kong Golf Club at such a prestigious global event. Her journey from our course to the international stage is a source of inspiration for young golfers in Hong Kong. Tiffany’s presence adds a special dimension to this world-class event, and we look forward to seeing her shine as she takes on some of the world’s best.”
