For 100PLUS, the nation's number one isotonic drink, this year's tournament marks the 12th consecutive year the brand has actively supported junior golf in the country.
100PLUS has been a strong supporter of junior golf since 2001 when it initiated the 100PLUS Junior Open. After two years, the tournament was upgraded and became known as the 100PLUS ASEAN Junior Golf Championship (from 2003 to 2005).
Then in 2006, it was upgraded to the 100PLUS Malaysian Junior Open. In just a few years, what started out as a local club event, soon evolved into the country's premier junior competition. The 100PLUS Malaysian Junior Open received further recognition when it was included as an R&A World Ranking Championship for junior competitions by the world body.
