UBS Hong Kong Open

In a dramatic finish to one of the most prestigious championships in Asia, Miguel Angel Jimenez claimed his second victory at the UBS Hong Open after hanging on to defeat Robert Karlsson in a thrilling final-day duel at the Hong Kong Golf Club.

While a long way from UBS’s global headquarters in Switzerland, Hong Kong – one of bank’s regional hubs – could not be a more appropriate location for the flagship property of the bank’s Asia Pacific golf platform.

Of all the professional golfing stops in Asia, the UBS Hong Kong Open, played in one of world’s most dynamic cities, holds a special place in the hearts and minds of the game’s best players.

One of the most prestigious titles in Asian golf, the UBS Hong Kong Open has a built a legacy of winners over the last five decades that truly sets it aside from other events in the region.

Famously founded by “13 golf enthusiasts” in 1889, the Hong Kong Golf Club is one of the oldest – and most famous – golf courses in the world outside of the United Kingdom.
