Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Templer Park Country Club, boasting sweeping vistas of one of the most distinctive landmarks in Malaysian golf, has joined the Asian Golf Industry Federation (AGIF).

Designed by Kentaro Sato with input from Japanese golfing great Masashi ‘Jumbo’ Ozaki, Templer Park is the venue for the AGIF Golf Business Leaders Tournament on October 27, part of the AGIF Annual International Summit.

Within nine years of opening for play in 1991, Templer Park hosted the Malaysian Open on three occasions – 1995, 1996 and 2000.

With tree-lined fairways, lakes and undulating terrain, the course stretches to more than 7,100 yards from the championship tees.

London, England: Simulator Golf has moved firmly into the mainstream of golf participation, with the number of venues expanding rapidly across international markets and operators increasingly turning to memberships, leagues and software to drive repeat play and recurring revenue, according to new research from golf software provider, Golf Genius.

Where golf simulator venues have been traditionally promoted as social experiences based on informal play and F&B, the reality is that structured competition, integrated software and cross-venue activities will be key to the sector’s future growth and form an increasingly important participation tool for venues and national federations alike.

The Simulator Golf Market Insights Report, created in partnership with global golf solutions platform ION 54 and sports participation platform experts played.co, is one of the most comprehensive evidence-based analyses of international simulator golf ever conducted.

Seoul, Korea: POSCO Group has begun the sale of Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea, the venue for the 2015 Presidents Cup.

The sale will be conducted through a competitive bidding process rather than a private contract to ensure transparency and fairness in the transaction.

POSCO Group recently selected Deloitte Anjin as its sale adviser and has distributed an investment prospectus containing sale details to major potential buyers, according to sources.

Hole 16 on the Longcross Course at Foxhills Club & Resort.

London, England: Foxhills Club & Resort has announced a £3 million investment in a complete transformation of its irrigation infrastructure, marking the next significant phase of the English resort’s long-term commitment to improving the quality, resilience and sustainability of both its championship golf courses for generations to come.

The multi-year project will see more than 3,500 new heads installed across both courses (Longcross and Bernard Hunt), more than doubling existing coverage of approximately 1,800 heads – alongside major upgrades to pumps, reservoirs and water storage systems.

The result will be one of the most advanced precision-controlled irrigation systems in United Kingdom resort golf, allowing Foxhills’ greenkeeping team to manage water with significantly greater accuracy while improving the consistency and resilience of the playing surfaces throughout the year.

The 18th hole on the Masters Course at Manila Southwoods.

Manila, Philippines: The Philippine Open, the region’s oldest national Open, will return this year boasting record prize money of US$1 million and with the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) as presenting partner.

To be staged over the Masters Course at Manila Southwoods Golf & Country Club from November 12-15, it will play a crucial role in deciding who wins the Order of Merit race.

This year will mark the first time that the tournament, which was inaugurated in 1913, has reached the US$1 million mark in prize money, double the purse on offer last year when Frenchman Julien Sale earned his maiden Tour win. It will also be the most lucrative sports event in the country this year.

For PSC, the announcement represents an important extension of its relationship with the National Golf Association of the Philippines (NGAP) and the Asian Tour, and its commitment to promoting the best sporting events in the Philippines.

Chicago, United States: Luke Donald’s 2025 Ryder Cup Captain’s Club Car buggy now proudly sits in the lobby of Northwestern University’s golf performance centre in Chicago, after the Englishman donated it to his former college.

Club Car is a Worldwide Supplier to the Ryder Cup and has provided the iconic team vehicles at every edition since 1997.

After Donald led Europe to victory in 2023 at Marco Simone in Rome, Italy, his vehicle was shipped to his home in Florida, with the front cowl signed by every member of the European team.

After the 2025 win at Bethpage, New York, he needed a home for buggy number two.

“I didn’t really have room for another one at my house, so I wondered where else in the US would make most sense,” said Donald, who will captain Europe once again at Adare Manor, Ireland in 12 months’ time.

He added: “I studied at Northwestern from 1997 to 2001 and it was a big part of my success.
