The 2018 Asian Tour was the 24th season of the modern Asian Tour (formerly the Asian PGA Tour), the main professional golf tour in Asia (outside of Japan) since it was established in 1995.
In February, Habitat for Humanity announced that they had partnered with the Asian Tour to see the Order of Merit rebranded as the Habitat for Humanity Standings.[1]
