Defending champion Min Woo Lee headlines SJM Macao Open

Defending champion Min Woo Lee will be the headline attraction at the 2024 SJM Macao Open, scheduled for Oct. 10 to 13.

The Australian star secured a two-shot victory over Thailand’s Poom Saksansin at last year’s tournament, marking his first title in two years.

Lee set a new tournament record with a 30-under-par score across four days, just two strokes shy of the Asian Tour record.

“I’m thrilled to be coming back to the SJM Macao Open,” said Lee.

“Last year was an incredible experience, and winning with a record score was a highlight of my season. I have great memories of the course and the fantastic support from the fans. I am looking forward to another amazing week in Macau and hope to defend my title.”

The tournament has consistently drawn major winners Ernie Els, Nick Faldo, John Daly, and Vijay Singh, along with prolific global stars Miguel-Angel Jimenez, Branden Grace, Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and Thongchai Jaidee, cementing its reputation as one of the top golf events in Asia.

The 21st tournament promises to once again attract top talent from around the globe, competing for a prize fund of USD1 million. LV
