An event of the scale of the Royal Trophy, where some of the very best Europeans golfers will clash with a determined set of Asia 's great players, requires tremendous logistical preparations in order to cater for the players, the media, the television broadcast and the thousands of fans attending the Tournament. “The set up for the television broadcast is presently underway and it is very large. The Royal Trophy will be broadcast live throughout the world reaching a massive potential audience. We are going live into key markets including all of Asia through Star Sports, the United Kingdom through Sky Television, the USA and Canada through the Golf Channel and all over the European continent.

Inside the 7,453 yard golf course, kiosks are being set-up by Heineken and Coca-Cola and permanent units of Amata Spring will provide the fans with cold beverages and food items right along almost every hole. “We are making sure that the fans are never far from a cooling beverage inside the golf course so that they can fully enjoy watching these great Europeans and Asians compete for the Royal Trophy”, said Ms. Emma Lin, head of operation of The Royal Trophy. “The Entertainment Village is something we are very proud of. The Village will feature a giant Heineken Beer Park where the fans can sit back, relax, chat and enjoy a great day with friends at Amata Spring while still keeping up with the fierce competition on the course. The center piece of the Royal Trophy is very serious competitive golf but, with no doubt, it will be a great “day out” and a lot of fun for the fans”, added Ms. Lin. “The Royal Trophy is one of these events that one really cannot miss.
