Taipei, Aug. 7 (CNA) A top official at the Taiwan Swinging Skirts LPGA said Wednesday that the organizers hope to attract up to 50,000 fans on the tournament's final day.

Johnson Wang (王政松), chairman of the Swinging Skirts Golf Foundation, made the comment at a press conference to promote the event Wednesday, adding that the competition is looking to attract a total of 75,000-80,000 golf fans over the span of four days.

The target came about after 32,000 visitors attended the final day of the tournament last year, close to a record for the number of attendees at a golf event in the Asian region on a single day, he said.

"If these numbers are reached then the Taiwan Swinging Skirts LPGA championship will break all visitor records in Asia, including South Korea and Japan," Wang said.    [FULL  STORY]
