Golf-King's Cup returns as co-sanctioned event in Thailand (Reuters)

May 3 (Reuters) - The Thailand-hosted King's Cup will mark its return to the schedule after a one-year absence in the last week of July as a co-sanctioned event with the European Tour, the Asia Tour said on Tuesday.

The tournament, held in honour of the Thai monarch, will be played at the Phoenix Gold Golf Club in Pattaya from July 28-31 and carry a prize purse of $750,000.

Last played in 2014 when Thaworn Wiratchant triumphed on home soil, the King's Cup will be the second co-sanctioned event in the country this season after the European and Asian Tours staged the True Thailand Classic in March.
