| The Royal Trophy – Europe vs Asia
Golf Championship is a unique, emotionally-charged
and passionate competition played
between the continents of Europe and
Asia in a team match-play format.
The best players from Europe play
against the best players from Asia
to compete in a spectacular series
of matches for stewardship over the
perpetual Royal Trophy – graciously
donated by His Majesty the King of
Thailand.
The second edition of the Royal
Trophy saw massive galleries of
avid golf enthusiasts flock to the
pristine Amata Spring Country Club
over three days of the competition,
beautiful weather, unprecedented
media coverage, a display of the
highest standard of team golf, 22-year
old Thai player Prom Meesawat coming
of age, excellent live television
broadcast in Thailand and throughout
the world and a great show of sportsmanship
by the Captains, Players and the
fans.
The Royal Trophy was honored by
the presence of His Excellency General
Prem Tinsulanonda, President of
the Privy Council of His Majesty
the King who delivered the Key Note
Speech at the Gala Banquet and officially
presented the Royal Trophy to the
European Team Captain, the legendary
Seve Ballesteros who led his Team
to success for the second year.
In the words of Ballesteros himself:
“The Royal Trophy is becoming the
greatest force for the further development
of golf in Asia, in the same manner
that the Ryder Cup played such a
role for the European Continent
in the 1980s and 1990s.” |

“The Royal
Trophy has a great future ahead, and
as I have said before, I feel the
Royal Trophy will change the face
of Asian Golf and help to make it
much stronger, just as the Ryder Cup
did for Europe”.
