The Indonesia Open will return to the Asian Tour schedule in 2022 when the 38th edition of the stored event tees off at Jakarta’s Pondok Indah Golf Course this August 4-7

Title sponsored by Bank Mandiri, the tournament returns after a three-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic and will offer a prize purse of US$500,000. The Bank Mandiri Indonesia Open will be the 11th leg of the Asian Tour's 2022-23 season and will immediately precede stops in Singapore and Korea.

“The National Open Championships of countries around the region are such an integral part of Asia’s golfing history. We’re delighted, therefore, to be able to welcome back the Indonesia Open to the Asian Tour schedule this year and we are extremely grateful to Bank Mandiri for their support,” said Cho Minn Thant, Commissioner and CEO, Asian Tour.

Dating back to 1974, the Indonesia Open has a proud and rich heritage. Its roll of honour includes the late, great American Payne Stewart (1981) and fellow Major champion Padraig Harrington of Ireland (2014). Other international golfers who have savoured success in the championship include New Zealander Frank Nobilo, Australian Craig Parry and South African Justin Harding.

When the Indonesia Open was last staged in 2019, victory went to Argentinean Miguel Angel Carballo with Korean Yikeun Chang claiming runners-up spot at Pondok Indah.

Among the prominent Asian players to have had their names inscribed on the trophy are Frankie Minoza of the Philippines, Thais Thongchai Jaidee and Thaworn Wiratchant, Chinese Taipei’s Lu Hsi-chuen and Lu Chien-soon, and Indian Gaganjeet Bhullar.

Kasiadi is the only Indonesian golfer to have lifted the trophy, his triumph coming in 1989.

Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jnr and opened in 1976, Pondok Indah has been rated as one of the Indonesia’s leading golfing establishments for more than 40 years, hosting numerous professional events, including the World Cup of Golf in 1983.

Headquartered in Jakarta, Bank Mandiri is the largest bank in Indonesia in terms of assets, loans and deposits and offers businesses and individuals throughout Indonesia a full set of banking and non-banking products and services.

Murdaya Po, President of the Indonesian Golf Association noted: “We are truly thankful to Bank Mandiri for its support. It promises to be a memorable week at Pondok Indah that will help signify the return of international tournament golf to our country."
