Thursday’s 60th edition of the European Tour event at Fanling is a great excuse to highlight the sport’s best-looking men and women players. And why not?

The Honma Hong Kong Open is back for its 60th edition on Thursday with many of the world’s leading golfers heading to Hong Kong for the event that marks the start of the European Tour season – and the 2019 Race to Dubai.

They will be hoping to score some early points to reach the Tour’s season-ending DP World Tour Championship, Dubai, held at Jumeirah Golf Estates.

The Hong Kong Open, with its US$2 million purse, will be played at Hong Kong Golf Club’s Fanling course over four days, ending on Sunday.

With fans of the sport keen to walk around the course hoping to catch a glimpse of their favourite golfing stars, we take a look at a few of the best-looking men – and women – golfers playing the sport at the moment.

Justin Rose

Rose, 38, of England, was the 2016 Olympic gold medallist in Rio de Janeiro, the 2013 US Open champion – and winner of the Hong Kong Open in 2015.

His chiselled jaw and blue eyes make him one of the dreamiest players on tour. Add to that a charming personality and it’s easy to see why women swoon over the world No 1.
