On behalf of Hana Financial Group, it is my true honour to be a part of establishing Singapore’s inaugural national title for women’s golf.
Hana Financial Group, as the largest global financial network in Korea, provides financial services with a total of 208 offices in 25 countries worldwide – hence, it is more meaningful to host this event in Singapore, the financial hub of the Asia-Pacific region.
With the participation of top KLPGA players and rising players from 14 Asia-Pacific countries, I look forward to the exciting competition we have ahead of us. In addition, I hope this event will signal the revival of women’s golf in the region, and develop to become a golf platform which brings together fans around the world and unites Asia-Pacific women’s golf.
Lastly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the tournament officials, volunteers, and supporting sponsors who helped to prepare this tournament, including the Singapore Golf Association and Tanah Merah Country Club.
I wish the players all the best. I am already thrilled to greet the first champion of the inaugural Hana Financial Group Singapore Women’s Open on Sunday.
Thank you.
Young-Joo Ham
Chairman of Hana Financial Group
