The Taifong Open is a professional golf tournament held at Taifong Golf Club in Changhua County, Taiwan. First played in 2005, it was initially sanctioned by the local professional tour in Taiwan before becoming a jointly sanctioned Asian Development Tour event in 2014. The tournament was promoted to the Asian Tour schedule in 2023.
The event has been played at Taifong Golf Club since its inception. Chan Shih-chang holds the record for most wins, with victories in 2010, 2014 and 2018. In 2026, South Africa's Ian Snyman won the tournament for his first Asian Tour title, finishing at 15-under-par and two strokes ahead of Santiago de la Fuente and Matthew Cheung.
History The tournament was first played in 2005, when Yeh Wei-tze became its inaugural winner. In its early years, the event was sanctioned by the Taiwan PGA Tour and was won by several Taiwanese golfers, including Chan Yih-shin, Lu Wei-chih, Lu Chien-soon and Chan Shih-chang.
After a three-year hiatus, the tournament returned in 2014 as a jointly sanctioned event on the Asian Development Tour and the Taiwan PGA Tour. Chan won the 2014 edition, successfully defending the title he had won in 2010, and later won the tournament for a third time in 2018.
The tournament remained on the ADT schedule through 2022 and was among the most lucrative events on that tour. It was held as a local event in 2020 and 2021 because of travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Hung Chien-yao winning in 2020 and Lee Chieh-po winning in 2021.
The event moved onto the Asian Tour schedule in 2023. Suteepat Prateeptienchai won the 2023 edition for his first Asian Tour title, then successfully defended the title in 2024. Ekpharit Wu won in 2025, becoming the third consecutive Thai winner of the tournament since its promotion to the Asian Tour.
Venue The tournament is held at Taifong Golf Club in Changhua County, Taiwan. The course has been the tournament's permanent home since the event was first played in 2005. The course was designed by Japanese architect Hiroshi Watanabe and opened in 1977.
For the 2026 edition, the course was set up as a par-72 layout measuring 7,109 yards.
