Malaysian golfers Ervin Chang and Gavin Green's Asian Tour survival hangs by a thread this weekend. At the 108th Philippine Open, the Tour's season finale, everything is on the line for both: their spot on the Tour for 2027.
Chang, currently 35th in the Order of Merit, has a little more breathing room after his tied 17th finish at last month's Hong Kong Open. Making the cut at this tournament should be enough for him to secure his card and be back on the tee in 2027.
Green on the Brink
Things look very different for Gavin Green. As a former Order of Merit winner, he finds himself in a precarious 64th position. He is just one spot away from falling off and desperately needs a truly strong performance to secure his full playing rights for next season. This is a real thriller!
More Than Just the Card
However, it's not just about staying on the Tour. At the $1 million event, Pavit Tangkamolprasert and Travis Smyth are battling for the season-long Order of Merit title. The top earner also gets a full DP World Tour exemption for 2027.
Meanwhile, V. Khavish, the Asian Development Tour Order of Merit winner, can tee off completely relaxed. He has already secured his Tour card for next year and can build on his breakthrough season. For Chang and Green, however, the tension remains immense.
