History
Pakistan has a number of golf courses from pre and post-Independence. As the Asian Tour continued to expand, Pakistan was chosen to host a tournament. In 2006, it was part of the Asian Tour schedule for the first time, on an initial three-year deal,[4] however the 2008 Open was postponed due to security concerns within Pakistan at the time the event was scheduled to go ahead.[1]
Chris Rodgers of England won the inaugural event, and in doing so claiming his maiden Asian Tour title. He finished 15 under par, 4 ahead of Indians Jeev Milkha Singh and Amandeep Johl.[5] In 2007 Malaysia's Airil Rizman claimed his maiden Asian Tour title with a two stroke triumph over Scott Hend of Australia.[6]
In May 2022, it was anticipated that the tournament would return in December 2022 on the Asian Tour as the CNS-Pakistan Open with a record prize fund of US$500,000.[7] However, this never came to fruition.
