-Prestigious event to
return to Royale Jakarta Golf Club |
Organisers of the prestigious Indonesian Masters
announced today that PT Bank Negara Indonesia Tbk (BNI) will title sponsor
this year’s event for the second successive year – fortifying its
long-standing position as the country’s premier golf tournament. The
popular event will also return to Royale Jakarta Golf Club, its permanent
home since its inception in 2011, and will be played from November 16-19. It will
once again be part of the burgeoning International Series – a ground-breaking
new series of 10 elite events sanctioned by the Asian Tour. And with
a total purse of US$1.5 million, it resumes its’ place as the richest golf
event in Indonesia. The tournament
will be the 10th and final International Series event of the
season, and crown the winner of the International Series Order of Merit, who
will earn a coveted place on next year’s multi-million dollar LIV Golf
League. |

Jimmy Masrin, Founder of the Indonesian Masters and Chairman of the Asian
Tour, said: “We take great pride in unveiling the eleventh edition of the
Indonesian Masters, and we thank BNI for collaborating with us once again -
they remain steadfast in their commitment to furthering the growth of the
sport of golf in Asia, and especially in Indonesia. “The tournament’s continued association with the exciting and
innovative International Series is also an incredible opportunity for the
Indonesian Masters to reach an even wider audience, especially as our event
will be the final event of The International Series.” Thailand’s Sarit Suwannarut recorded a brilliant four-stroke victory
last year, with Royale Jakarta Golf Club –a 27-hole facility, designed by Bob
Moore and JMP Golf Design – looking forward to more exceptional golf this
November. |

President Director of Royale Jakarta Golf Club, Hendro Sutandi, added:
“We are honoured to host the eleventh edition of the Indonesian Masters. This

a top golfing destination in Indonesia. As we prepare for the 2023 BNI
Indonesian Masters, we are fully prepared to offer a venue that will leave a
memorable impact on both players and spectators attending this International
Series tournament." And with BNI again being one of the driving forces behind the
Indonesian Masters the stage has been set for an incredible week of golf. President Director of PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, Royke
Tumilaar, explained: "The tournament's 11-event legacy has encouraged
BNI to reaffirm our commitment to the Indonesian Masters. As a marquee event
on the Asian Tour, the Indonesian Masters stands as Indonesia's most
successful tournament to date. This aligns perfectly with our vision as a
