THE CHAMPION

THE CHAIRMAN

2004 - 2016

As Executive Chairman of the Asian Tour Kyi Hla Han guided  the Tour's meteoric rise into golf world prominence. His business acumen is celebrated and is cemented in his legacy. Under Kyi Hla’s tutelage the Asian Tour has become the official sanctioning body for  professional golf in Asia. In  2015 Han was named the “7th most influential man in Asian Sport" by Reuters who describe Kyi Hla as "a major power broker in Asian sports."

THE DESIGNER

Kyi Hla has spent his career studying what works and doesn’t work in a golf design.  As a perennial champion, his understanding of great golf is rock solid.  As the Executive Chairman of the Asian Tour, his understanding of all aspects of the financial side of golf  goes hand in hand with his design philosophy.
