The United States will always be a country that loves the sport of golf but Asian countries are now beginning to love the sport as well and the champions re now coming out of these tiny countries.

The Philippines is slowly becoming a golf addicted country as basketball and soccer just might have to take a sideline to the sport of golf. However, golf can be quite expensive in the Philippines and this is the reason why it is not as a widespread compared to “cheaper sports” like basketball and soccer. The nice thing about the country is that there are people like Joshua Ortiz who have been able to create small organizations to help the future of the game. The future of the game is bright in the Philippines and hopefully they can start bringing out more future stars so that the funding can increase.

The game of golf will surely continue to grow all throughout Asia and more countries will start to follow suit in the near future.
