Property developer Raimon Land has launched a brand new Asian Tour tournament 'The Jaidee Invitational presented by Raimon Land' to promote the Kingdom and Pattaya as one of the world's leading golfing destinations.

Thongchai Jaidee, one of the most successful golfers in Asia, will host the top golfers from the region and around the world as they compete for the US$500,000 total prize fund from April 30 to May 3, 2009 at Siam Country Club Pattaya Old Course.

Raimon Land Chief Executive Officer, Nigel Cornick, said the partnership between Thongchai and Raimon Land was an effort to bring together Thailand's top golfer and the country's most prestigious property developer.

Thongchai will use his expertise to assist Raimon Land in developing strategies to advance golf tourism in Thailand, which in turn will raise the profile of the developer's luxury properties among golfers both locally and overseas.

The tournament will feature 116 leading Asian Tour professional players, 20 Thai players from the Thailand Professional Golf Association, All Thailand Tour and eight invites, all competing for a purse of US$500,000 over 72-holes of stroke play.
