A little bit of history
Malaysia has been one of the regions hosting an the official TPC circuit since June 2020, and it was part of the Oceania region of the official TPCi circuit before that. It has hosted multiple major events, including TPCi-era Regional Championships and Special Events, and TPC-era National Championships. Malaysia’s greatest VGC success were the National Championships won by Zarif Ayman in Singapore in 2015 and by Kevin Ngim, Wan Aqil and Gary Ng in Malaysia in 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively.
The most recent tournament held in Malaysia was the 2024 Malaysia National Championships, also hosted in Petaling Jaya and played with the VGC Regulation Set G in June 2024. The finals saw 2022 Malaysia National finalist Gary Ng defeat fellow countryman Ng Chee Woon to win his first National title!
