The Hong Kong Ladies Masters was a golf tournament on the Ladies Asian Golf Tour hosted in Hong Kong.
The event was played at the par-73 Kau Sai Chau's North Course in 2005[2] and at the par-72 Discovery Bay in 2006.[3] The prize money of the tournament was US$80,000 through co-sponsorship by Cathay Pacific' Asia Miles.[1]
The inaugural event in 2006 was won by sixteen-year-old Pornanong Phatlum, who would not pick up the first-prize cheque due to her amateur status.[4] The following year American Libby Smith recorded her first professional win by beating Shih Huei-ju of Taiwan at the first hole of a sudden death playoff, after they had tied on 212 following rounds of 66 and 68 respectively.[5]
After a few years absence Hong Kong became a stop on the Ladies Asian Golf Tour again in 2015 with the Hong Kong Ladies Open.[6]
