After 25 years there is still no outright winner when it come to bragging rights for winning the Phuket Kings Cup. This year’s entry list is lacking some of the usual faces, possibly leaving the field open to a new name.

In the early years of the event it was Henry Kaye, Bill Gasson and Jeffrey Lowe whose names kept repeating on the leader board, and then Ray Roberts, and Neil Pryde as well. Gasson, Pryde and Roberts all have four wins apiece, but none of them are competing this year. How about a ‘Masters’ division next year?
