The Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation, known by the abbreviation APGC, is an Asia-Pacific federation of national golf associations. The APGC organizes the major international amateur championships in the region and promotes golf.

History

The organization has its beginnings in 1962 during the Eisenhower Trophy in Kawana, Japan, when a tri-nation tournament between the Philippines, Japan and Chinese Taipei was proposed. The inaugural Asian Amateur Golf Team Championship was held 1963 in the Philippines, with a trophy donated by Shun Nomura that became known as the Nomura Cup, and the Amateur Golf Confederation of Asia was formed.[1]

The R&A started to help the APGC in 2002 when they offered to provide financial support for running the Nomura Cup.[1]

Tours

In 1969, the confederation assumed responsibility for running the Asia Golf Circuit. The circuit was made up of a number of National Opens which were run by national golf associations, the same bodies that were members of the confederation. In 1987 the APGC launched the Asian Ladies Circuit, with a five-year sponsorship from Kosaido Development Corporation. In 1995 the Asian Professional Golfers' Association launched the rival Asian Tour, which lead to the APGC tours' demise, and the tour folded in 1999. This ended the APGC's 30-year direct involvement with the tour and professional golf.[1]

Member federations

The confederation has over 40 member federations from across Asia-Pacific.[2]

Championships

The APGC organizes a range of amateur events, including the Nomura Cup[3] and the Asia-Pacific Amateur (formerly known as the Asian Amateur), a championship put together in cooperation with the Masters Tournament and The R&A. The event offers the winner an invitation to the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club and the Open Championship.[4] The event rotates throughout the region and has been held in China, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Australia, Hong Kong, Korea, and New Zealand.[5]
