Welcome to the Centara World Masters Golf Championship 2015

14-20 June 2015 | Hua Hin, Thailand

Following the enormous success of the inaugural event, we are pleased to extend this invitation for you to join club golfers from around the world for

the second annual Centara World Masters Golf Championship to be hosted in the royal city of Hua Hin, Thailand.

This event has quickly earned the reputation of Asia’s best week of golf. Golfers from 23 countries across all continents were in high praise of the inaugural event with the golf courses, caddies, event organization and tournament functions all rating highly in participant surveys. 88% of participants rated the tournament experience as excellent, while 91% considered the event to be good or excellent value. We have made further enhancements to the 2015 event program to ensure it is even more enjoyable.

So long as you are over 35 you can tee it up at the Masters. There are 15 tournament divisions based on age and handicap. Playing with golfers your own age and standard is one of the event’s great traditions. At the heart of the event’s success is the camaraderie and friendship among participants.

The Centara World Masters will see you play at Hua Hin’s world class golf resorts with all the trappings of a major professional event. Black Mountain, Banyan, and the much improved Majestic Creek and Imperial Lakeview combine for the ultimate golf experience. You will be spoiled by Thailand’s friendly full time caddies who wear a caddie bib with your name and country flag – just like the Masters!

Much more than a golf tournament, there are quality social and entertainment events each night. An amazing selection of Thai and international cuisine and world class entertainment headline the welcome and presentation dinners.

The event is Thailand’s richest with US$30,000 in prizes and lucky draws. Whether you come on your own or with a party of friends, just don’t miss it. Visit www.thailandworldmasters.com for online registration and event updates. Peter McCarthy and Mark Siegel Tournament Directors

Event Sponsors

Hua Hin is located on the western side of the Gulf of Thailand, and is approximately a two and one half hour drive from Bangkok. Thailand’s original beach resort, it now sports a great selection of golf courses.

Hua Hin was developed in the early 1920’s by King Rama VII as an ideal getaway from Bangkok. The tranquil fishing village was turned into a resort for the Royal Family and thereafter became popular among the Siam nobility and upper-class.

For over 75 years now, the Hua Hin beach resort has been a popular holiday area for affluent Thais and foreigners alike. Although it still retains the intimacy of a village, it has successfully incorporated modern luxuries without the commercialism of other resorts. The area has kept much of its old world charm and colorful ways. Holidaymakers can stroll down and explore Hua Hin’s winding roads with a great variety of shops, boutiques, superb restaurants, and night markets.

Black Mountain Golf ClubA true championship layout and home to the Black Mountain Masters, Black Mountain is among the best and most challenging golf courses in Thailand. Thanks to the many natural creeks that run through it and the ‘black rock’ mountainous backdrops throughout, it’s also one of the most beautiful.

Banyan Golf ClubOpening in October 2008 to worldwide acclaim, Banyan was quickly installed as Asia’s best new course in 2009. Boasting panoramic ocean and mountain views, pineapple patches, bougainvillea beds and of course, Banyan trees, come into play on this hillside course.
