​

Miguel Angel Jiménez of Spain and Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee have announced they will be competing at this year's US$900,000 Venetian Macau Open at the Macau Golf and Country Club from October 23-26, 2014.  The two venerated stars of the game recently captained their respective continents to a dramatic tie at the inaugural EurAsia Cup in Malaysia earlier this year, with Thongchai dragging Team Asia back from the brink of defeat to claim an extraordinary draw against Miguel's men on the final hole of the match.

Jiménez and Jaidee are both multiple winners on the European and Asian Tours with an incredible 36 titles between them.  The Tour veterans are showing no signs slowing down with both having won already this year.  In May, Jiménez claimed the Open de España for the first time in 27 attempts, in the process breaking his own record as the oldest ever winner on the European Tour at 50 years and 133 days.  Not to be outdone, Thongchai clinching his second European Tour title at the Nordea Masters in June, fending off EurAsia Cup foes Victor Dubuisson and Stephen Gallacher in a play-off.  



​

Since its inauguration in 1998, the tournament has been graced by the presence of some of the best golfers the world has ever seen, including Lee Westwood, Colin Montgomerie, Nick Faldo, Padraig Harrington, Fred Couples, Ian Woosnam and Mark O'Meara. The Venetian Macau Open is jointly organised by Macau Sport Development Board of Macau SAR Government (MSDB) and Golf Association of Macau.  It is sanctioned by both the Asian Tour and the Golf Association of Macau, and promoted by IMG.  The Venetian Macao is the title sponsor of the event for a third successive year. Sponsors joining The Venetian Macao in support of the tournament include Rolex, Srixon, Air Macau, Blue Girl, Bonaqua, Lamborghini and Hong Kong Descente.
