THE Asian Tour's newest golf tournament will aim to throw the focus on blind and partially sighted golfers, its sponsor said yesterday.
The tour unveiled its newest event, September's US$400,000 Handa Singapore Classic, which will make its debut at the city-state's Orchid Country Club this year.
"(The event) will help show that those who have a partial or complete visual impairment are also able to enjoy the game," said Dr Haruhisa Handa, Japanese philanthropist and chairman of International Sport Promotion Society, the event's title sponsor.
The International Blind Golf Association is one of ISPS's main charitable recipients.
The event winner will receive a two-year exemption on the Asian Tour.
