PETALING JAYA, Feb 26 — Having hosted household names like Lee Westwood and Louis Oosthuizen, the Bandar Malaysia Open 2020 is back after a four-year hiatus.

Previously called the Malaysian Open, the prestigious golf championship, set to be held at the Kota Permai Golf & Country Club (KPGCC) in Shah Alam, is less than two weeks away.

KPGCC last hosted the Malaysian Open 12 years ago in 2008 and will welcome a host of Asian and local talents to its lush greens from March 5 to 8 to battle it out in this year’s tournament

Excited to have the championship back after four years, the event promoter, Winning Matters’ chief executive officer Arep Kulal said he hoped Malaysians would enjoy the championship.

“We hope Malaysians in general, and local golf fans specifically, will come out in full force to Kota Permai to cheer on the players and support our local challengers in the Bandar Malaysian Open 2020.

“And we hope everyone will have an enjoyable week with the facilities that we have prepared for this championship.”
