History
[edit]Asian PGA Tour
[edit]- APGA formed 1994,[1] Tour started in 1995. [2]
- Formed as players became unhappy with lack of opportunities on the existing tour which was being dominated by "foreigners" [3]
- 1995–1998 Omega Tour [4]
- 1999–2003 Davidoff Tour [5]
- 2004–present Asian Tour [6]
- Dates of the major national opens within the region were avoided as were APGC Tour events. They gradually joined the new tour. [7] [8]
- "Asian Tour Limited" acquired by Parallel Media Group plc in December 2003. [9]
- Effectively re-founded as a new tour for the 2004 season
