Greg Norman became world number one after winning the tournament in 1994. Tiger Woods staged a famous comeback when winning the tournament in 1998. The most recent time the tournament was held in Phuket was in 2007 when Anton Haig took home the Johnny Walker Classic tournament.
The course has two 18 hole circuits - The Lake Course and The Canyon Course
