Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak said the Malaysian Government has committed to hosting the next two editions of the EurAsia Cup.

“Our aim is to continue the fantastic growth the sport of golf has already seen in Asia. We have seen (at the EurAsia Cup) why this game is so popular and therefore why I am standing here now making this statement. This event has the full support of the Malaysian Government.”
In front of a packed 18th green at the tournament’s closing ceremony at Glenmarie Golf and Country Club, the Prime Minister, a keen golfer himself, added: “We have seen this week that golf is alive and well in this part of the world.”
