Spain’s Sergio Garcia, South Africa’s Charl Schwartzel and Chilean duo Joaquin Niemann and Mito Pereira have confirmed their places for the Asian Tour’s inaugural St Andrews Bay Championship, taking place from 24-27 August 2023 at the Fairmont St Andrews. 

The US$1.5m championship will be the 12th leg of the 2023 Asian Tour season and the sixth stop on The International Series. “As our first tournament in the country that gave golf to the world, the St Andrews Bay Championship promises to be a momentous week for us,” said Cho Minn Thant, Asian Tour commissioner and CEO. “It’s fitting, therefore, that we should have major champions such as Sergio and Charl and players of the calibre of Joaquin and Mito to grace this auspicious occasion.” 

Part of the Asian Tour’s 2023 “UK Summer Swing”, the St Andrews showpiece will be preceded by the International Series England. The Asian Tour’s elite-level International Series comprises 10 events, featuring elevated prize funds and welcoming top golfers from every continent and Tour.
