THE TROPHY

The Champion’s trophy was designed by emerging Thai artist, Saruta Kiatparkpoom. She cited the eagle as her source of inspiration for the trophy as the animal is an embodiment of strength and elegance which very much resembled the golfers who grace the green with their poise and determination.
