Since its inception in 2022, the tournament has now entered its fifth edition, continuing to inject steady momentum into the growth of professional golf in Taiwan. This year's event features a total prize purse of NT$3 million, including a NT$500,000 top prize for the champion.
The CWE Group has long upheld its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), actively supporting initiatives across sports, education, and public welfare. By consistently sponsoring professional golf tournaments, the Group not only supports the steady growth of local players but also strives to align Taiwanese golf with international standards, enhancing both the competitive landscape and the industry's overall value. The Chang Wah Open stands as a testament to the powerful synergy between enterprise and sport, underscoring the Group's dedication to sustainable development and social contribution.
Chuen-Sing Hung, Chairman of Chang Wah Electromaterials (CWE), remarked that it is a great honor to see the Chang Wah Open reach its fifth year since its launch in 2022. He also extended his sincere appreciation to TPGA Chairman Jung-Hsin Chen, who is set to step down at the end of this year, for his leadership in successfully integrating the Taiwan PGA Tour into the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) system last year. This milestone has elevated Taiwanese professional golf onto the international stage, significantly enhancing both player competitiveness and tournament visibility.
CWE Group has a long history of supporting domestic sports activities. Leveraging its corporate resources and guided by a philosophy of giving back to society, the Group supports the development of professional golf in Taiwan. By sustaining long-term sponsorships and partnerships, the Group aims to further internationalize professional tournaments and cultivate top-tier talent, showcasing the strength of Taiwanese golf to the world.
