GOLF.GARA. Varadan benefitting from new clubs, new swing and new caddie

Khavish Varadan [main picture] is well within his rights to consider 2026 a breakthrough season so far.

Currently riding high on top of the Asian Development Tour (ADT) Order of Merit, thanks to a win and a pair of second placed finishes, he’s also shown glimpses of his potential on the Asian Tour. He tied for 11th at the Taiwan Glass Taifong Open in May – for his best finish on the Tour.

However, ahead of this week’s Mercuries Taiwan Masters, Malaysia’s rising star is not getting ahead of himself.

“I wouldn’t say breakthrough,” says the 26-year-old, “but I’m just building on every week. You know, I’m not doing anything special. It’s just, you know, the same thing every week. Hopefully the breakthrough will come soon.”

GOLF.GARA.Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, and Korea enjoy OQS status

Following on from yesterday’s joint announcement by Augusta National Golf Club and The R&A that the winner of this year’s Link Hong Kong Open will receive an invite to the Masters Tournament in 2027, they have confirmed today he will also earn a place in the starting line-up for The Open next year.

This comes after The R&A announced its full list of tournaments that will form part of their Open Qualifying Series, which will see 19 events played in 15 countries. The 155th Open is scheduled for 11-18 July at St Andrews.

As well as the Link Hong Kong Open, the other Asian Tour tournaments that form part of the list are the New Zealand Open and Kolon Korea Open, which like Hong Kong will receive one invite each, and the Deutsche Bank Singapore Open, which gets two places.
