These celebrated athletes, who have transitioned into media, punditry, and coaching, are avid golfers, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event. The tournament provides an exceptional platform for sponsors to gain brand exposure and engage with Thailand’s elite golf and business community.

About the football icons

Stevens was a cornerstone of Tottenham Hotspur’s 1984 UEFA Cup victory and a key player in England’s 1986 World Cup squad, is renowned for his defensive skills and leadership. Post-retirement, Stevens established himself as a respected football analyst and coach, notably managing teams in Thailand, where he has imparted his extensive knowledge of the game. His passion for golf will undoubtedly enhance the competitive spirit of the tournament.

Heskey was known for his powerful presence as a striker during his time with Leicester City, Liverpool FC, and Aston Villa, scored over 100 Premier League goals – winning two League Cups with Leicester and a treble with Liverpool in 2001, and also earned 62 caps for England.
