The Asian Tour Golf is a men’s professional golf tour operated by the Asian Tour, based in the United Arab Emirates. The tour covers a number of countries in Asia and is the main tour in the region. The Asian Tour is a popular professional golf tour, with a large number of world-class players and a great fan base. The majority of tournaments take place in east and southeast Asia, with some extending into Central Asia. The tour offers a variety of tournaments for amateur and professional golfers alike. The Asian Tour Golf usually has around 25 tournaments each calendar year, with each tournament taking place over four days. Most tournaments are individual stroke-play tournaments while some are team events.
