This tournament is title-sponsored by Fu Hsing Industrial Co., Ltd., with overall title sponsorship by ThreeBond, organized by TPGA, and co-hosted by Nan Yi Golf Country Club. Today, an 18-hole pre-tournament Pro-Am was held, pairing 15 professional players with 45 amateur participants.
Attendees at the pre-tournament dinner included Fu Hsing Industrial Co., Ltd. Chairman Lin Jui-chang, Vice General Manager Lin Tzu-hsuan, ThreeBond Hong Kong Taiwan Branch Manager Taichi Hirokazu, TPGA Chairman Chen Jung-hsing, and ThreeBond Challenge Tour CEO Chen Chih-chung.
Lin Jui-chang stated that this year marks the 8th consecutive year that Fu Hsing Industrial Co., Ltd. has sponsored the ThreeBond Challenge Tour and the 11th year that ThreeBond has served as the overall title sponsor. Together with TPGA, they have long been committed to promoting professional golf in Taiwan, providing players with more opportunities to compete and develop their skills. Lin expressed his hope that their sponsorship will inspire other enterprises to support Taiwan's men’s tournaments, creating more opportunities for players to shine.
Fu Hsing Industrial Co., Ltd. first sponsored the Challenge Tour in 2018, initially co-sponsoring two events with Po Wei Group and later with Ming An International Enterprise. In 2019, Fu Hsing became the sole title sponsor and has continued its support for the ThreeBond Challenge Tour for eight consecutive years.
Additionally, Chairman Lin Jui-chang continues to sponsor the prize money leader awards for both the TPGA Taiwan Tour and the ThreeBond Challenge Tour, providing bonus prizes of NT$500,000, NT$300,000, and NT$200,000 to the top three players in each tour’s year-end money rankings, totaling NT$2 million. This marks the 7th consecutive year Fu Hsing has supported the prize money leader awards for both tours.
This event is the 6th leg of the 2025 ThreeBond TPGA Challenge Tour. The top five players in the overall money rankings at the end of the season will automatically qualify for next year’s Taiwan Tour.
