The Chiangmai Golf Classic has been rescheduled for Nov 13-16 at Alpine Golf Resort Chiangmai, organisers confirmed yesterday.
The second edition of the US$750,000 Asian Tour event was originally scheduled for this week but was postponed due to political problems.
As it will be played on the same week with the European Tour’s US$7million Turkish Airlines Open in Turkey it is unclear if Thai stars Thongchai Jaidee and Kiradech Aphibarnrat will be available for the Chiangmai Golf Classic.
Prayad Marksaeng will definitely be absent from the tournament because he has confirmed his participation in a Japan Golf Tour event.
Last year’s inaugural Chiangmai Golf Classic was won by Australia’s Scott Hend.
Major winners Jason Dufner and Charl Schwartzel confirmed to take part in this year’s event on the original date but now it is unclear whether they will be available for the new date.
