History

Historical Context

After Asian PGA officials founded the Asian Tour in July 1994, the inaugural 1995 season launched a circuit that quickly eclipsed the older Asia Golf Circuit, which had run since 1962. The tour joined the International Federation of PGA Tours in 1998 and later added the Asian Development Tour in 2010, beginning with five events. Its growth spurred co-sanctioned tournaments and higher prize funds.
