ISGT wraps 2025/26 season with new Development Tour and record participation
The International Schools Golf Tour (ISGT), managed by Fore Management Group and powered by Foresight Sports, has concluded its 2025/2026 season, with organisers citing record participation, expanded pathways for beginners and advanced players, and new opportunities for top performers to compete internationally.
The ISGT season featured competition across Thailand’s leading venues, including Siam Country Club, Thai Country Club, Robinswood, and a season finale at Amata Spring Country Club. The tour said more than 45 international schools took part during the year, with an average of 240 young golfers participating at each event.
Chris Watson, managing director of Fore Management Group, said…
“The 2025/2026 season saw the launch of the ISGT Development Tour, a new circuit created to give beginner golfers a supportive, competitive environment to learn tournament play and progress to the ISGT Main Tour and other major junior events across Thailand. The ISGT Main Tour continues to thrive, providing advanced competition and pathways into major global junior events and US colleges.”
ISGT said more than 20 students earned golf scholarships to institutions in the United States this season, and thanked coaches, schools and partners for their support. Organisers said the tour plans to refine both circuits for 2026/2027, with a focus on maintaining a safe, educational and inspiring environment for junior golfers.
Team and individual honours
James Partridge, head coach of ASB Green Valley, secured the gross team Order of Merit for the fourth consecutive year.
“After a grueling and intense tour, we are proud to have one the gross team order of merit for fourth year in a row. ISGT continues to grow year on year, not only in terms of its number but most importantly its quality. The standard of golf played on some of the toughest courses is a credit to the players and their coaches. It’s the only tour that incorporates a team competition and successes are enjoyed as a squad, not just individually. ASB has enjoyed the challenge of other schools upping their game and challenging us, but we are glad to have retained our title. See you next season.”
Marker Itchaphat of Wellington College International School Bangkok, named ISGT’s 2025/26 MVP, said…
“Being part of ISGT’s growth has been incredible. With this year’s highly competitive field, top-tier courses, and a mix of individual and team formats that mirror U.S. college golf, this tour has created a truly unique community. I’m honored to be named MVP and want to sincerely thanks to Fore Management Group the organisers and Foresight Sports for their generous support. I’m certain their technology will take my game to the next level.”
Order of Merit winners earn a world championship invitation
The season’s Order of Merit winners in each division have earned invitations to compete in the FCG World Championship, sponsored by Callaway Golf, in Rancho Mirage, California, from July 13 to 15, 2026. Organisers said the selection reflects performance across the season and marks the next step for the tour’s top players on an international stage.

ISGT have thanked their sponsors for supporting the season, especially Foresight Sports (Shane Wilding Golf), and all their other partners, Allied Pickfords, Alliance Laundry (Thailand), Club Med, Singha, Supersport, G/FORE, Golf Pride, Topgolf, Thaniya, and The Thaiger.
