    PRESS RELEASE FORMER CHAMPIONS RENEW BATTLE IN VENETIAN MACAU OPEN IN-FORM HEND READY TO DEFEND HIS TITLE Macau, 21 October 2014: The 16th edition of the Venetian Macau Open, one of the highlights on the Asian Tour, will tee off on Thursday at the picturesque Macau Golf and Country Club. The tournament boasts a field of former champions, including last year’s victor, Scott Hend, fresh from his thrilling Hong Kong Open triumph last week, alongside four-time Major winner, Ernie Els, and the evergreen Spaniard Miguel Angel Jiménez. The Venetian Macau Open is jointly organised by Macau Sport Development Board of Macau SAR Government (MSDB) and Golf Association of Macau. It is sanctioned by both the Asian Tour and the Golf Association of Macau, and promoted by IMG. The Venetian Macao® is the title sponsor of the event for a third successive year. This year’s event boasts a total prize fund of US$900,000, an increase of 12.5% compared to last year. “We’re extremely excited about this year’s Venetian Macau Open,” commented José Tavares, President of MSDB. “We’ve got another great field together and it’s wonderful to see Miguel here for the first time alongside one of the all-time greats, Ernie Els. Scott Hend is obviously in great form and it would be terrific to see him defend his title. Liang Wen-chong, Thongchai Jaidee, the three-time Asian Tour Order of Merit winner and Zhang Lian-wei, the last player to successfully defend the Macau Open title, are also playing.” “The tournament continues to grow in popularity and scale, as evidenced by this year’s increased prize purse and we’re extremely fortunate to have such committed and generous partners lead by the Venetian Macao.
