For over 20 years, Chang has seriously supported Thai golf by creating international-standard competitions like the ‘Chang Thailand Junior Golf Circuit 2026,’ providing opportunities for Thai youth to develop their potential and progress to international competition. Last year’s success proved the capability of Thai junior golfers who won championships in all categories at the International Championship round. This shows that with the right opportunities, standards, and development systems, young golfers can compete and gain fame globally, just like senior athletes who once participated in this project and succeeded internationally, such as ‘Fever’ Nitithorn Thippong, a three-time Asian Tour champion and many others competing on the world stage. We hope this platform will be a crucial starting point to push Thai youth toward becoming professional golfers and bringing honor to Thailand in the future.”Tags: ["Jesadakorn Kos", "Chang", "Junior Golf Development", "International Competition", "Thai Golf Success"]
