Hong Kong Hosts First Ever Golf Tournament (World City Championship)
The World City Championship will be held in Hong Kong on March 23-26. The organizers claim that the event, worth USD1 million, will be held at Fanling Golf Club. This is the seventh leg this year of the Asian Tour. In January 2020, the Hong Kong Open was held. This is the seventh time that the Chinese administrative region hosted an event of this nature. The Asian Tour decided to host an event in Hong Kong because most of the coronavirus restrictions had been lifted in Hong Kong. Cho Minn Thant, chief executive of the Asian Tour, expressed delight at the possibility of Hong Kong golf returning after three years. This will lead to increased bets in Asia, as Hong Kong is a key area for trade, business, and sports. According to Asian sports oddsmakers, who are looking to have fun and adventure while betting on major sporting events, this will also help.
