The 48-year-old is bringing with him not just world-class form, but a deep appreciation for the city, the fans, and the historic venue in Fanling that hosts the Link Hong Kong Open.<\/p>\n
But for Casey, returning to Hong Kong is about more than just competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are almost too many things to list about what I enjoy the Hong Kong schedule! First, we all know what a fantastic golf course this is, it\u2019s one of the greats. But Hong Kong as a city is just incredible. To me, it\u2019s probably the most energetic city in the world, the vibrance, the passion for everything, whether it\u2019s food, culture, or life in general. This is where it\u2019s at.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut for me, it always comes down to the people. The history of this tournament is amazing, and we\u2019re playing for a prestigious trophy this week, but without the fans who turn up and bring that energy, it wouldn\u2019t be the same. I\u2019ve experienced that for over 20 years now, my first visit was a long time ago because I\u2019m older than some of these guys! I love coming back because of the friendships and relationships we\u2019ve built over the years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis week is going to be a great event, and as players, we just hope they don\u2019t go with that treacherous front-right pin position they love to use! But we\u2019ll enjoy the challenge. I\u2019m really looking forward to relishing my week here.\u201d<\/p>\n
With his experience, form, and passion for the venue, Casey is not just a contender, he\u2019s a player to watch closely as the Link Hong Kong Open unfolds at one of Asia\u2019s most iconic golf destinations.<\/p>\n
