Malaysian Open (golf)


The Malaysian Open is a men's professional golf tournament. It was inaugurated in 1962 as the Malayan Open, and was one of the events on the first season of the Far East Circuit that year. In 1999 it joined the Asian Tour and also became part of the European Tour's expansion into Asia as a jointly sanctioned event. The event was not held from 2015 to 2019 but reappeared as an Asian Tour event in 2020 with prize money of US$1 million.
Former winners include world number 1 golfers Vijay Singh and Lee Westwood. The six events from 2010 to 2015 were held at the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club. Other notable winners include 17-year-old Italian Matteo Manassero in 2011 and British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen the following year. The 2015 champion was India's Anirban Lahiri. This was his first ever win on the European Tour and it was his sixth win on the Asian Tour. In 2015 the prize fund was US$3 million. Since its inauguration there has never been a Malaysian winner.
