I believe this new tournament can greatly impact our players\u2019 careers as they seek to establish themselves on the ADT, which provides a pathway onto the Asian Tour,\u201d said OB Golf Events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is fantastic that all ADT events receive Official World Golf Ranking points and this will be important for Indonesian players as they will have the opportunity to improve their rankings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A total of 144 players will compete in the Jakarta Classic, with the field being split equally between the ADT and Indonesian PGA.<\/p>\n<p>Asian Tour Executive Chairman Kyi Hla Han said Indonesia was a growing and important market for the Asian Tour and ADT.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the Jakarta Classic, there are two other events staged in Indonesia on the Asian Tour schedule, namely the CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters which was held in May and the Indonesia Open which is scheduled from November 28 to December 1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a lot of young and talented golfers from Indonesia who are keen to gain more playing experience and sharpen their skills. While they may not be competing regularly on the Asian Tour, the opportunity to compete in the Jakarta Classic on the ADT will be a good first stepping stone,\u201d said Han.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe Indonesian players will benefit from the ADT platform and I would like to express our fullest appreciation to OB Golf Events for taking this initiative to launch the Jakarta Classic,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Jakarta Classic will be the seventh leg of the 2013 ADT season. So far, a total of 12 tournaments have been confirmed this season, with several others to be announced in due course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jakarta: The Asian Development Tour (ADT) will provide another new playing opportunity for emerging stars with the launch of the inaugural Jakarta Classic later this month, which raises the season\u2019s schedule to 12 tournaments.&nbsp;
