According to Cho Minn Thant, Commissioner, and CEO of the Asian Tour “The addition of the DGC Open presented by Mastercard to our 2022 schedule is a massive boost for the Asian Tour and something we have been working very hard for, on behind the scenes to facilitate”.

The main reason behind Mastercard sponsoring golf tournaments is to provide its cardholders unique golf experiences, privileged access to major golf tournaments and properties, as well as golf-related savings and offers. For Mastercard, customer loyalty is a top priority. By aligning their company goals to what matters most to their customers, they are fulfilling their promise.

Mastercard offers all cardholders the ability to book their next round of golf whether at the public course down the street or private golf club they have had their eye on. They also provide private golf course access programs that they will not find anywhere else. With Mastercard, people can explore memberships at exclusive private clubs and at one of their upcoming events, or play at their own pace with the Private Tee Time Program.

The sponsorship by Mastercard brings new opportunities for the Indian golf industry and professional golf.
