There has been a boom in competitive golf holidays, especially in SE Asia, where golfers from around the world have been taking part in professional run golf tournaments for amateurs in Thailand and Vietnam.
The last event of the year tees off this week in Pattaya with players from USA, India, England, Singapore, Guernsey, Australia, and Hong Kong taking part in the Pullman Pattaya Invitational Series November 21st -25th .
Leading Golf Tour Operators Golfasian https://www.golfasian.com/ and Go Golfing https://www.gogolfing.com.au/ have been pioneering these event style breaks for several years. In fact their popular Centara World Masters held every June at Thailand’s Hua Hin, has now become Asia biggest amateur golf tournament.

Over 430 male and female players teed off in the 2023 event which was sponsored by the Tourism Authority of Thailand and the Centara Hotel group.
These events have become big business for venues as local hotels, golf clubs, restaurants, and even Tuk Tuk drivers are all benefiting, often during the low season.
For 2024 they have already started promoting several events in Hua Hin, Danang, Phuket and Pattaya and spaces are filling up quickly.

The tournaments are open for all ages and the organisers even lay on a full schedule of activities for non-golfers as well.
