Not sure if you are following the rivalry between the well established Asian Tour and the upstart OneAsia tour over the last few years. With the latter being formed by the Australian, New Zealand, China, Korea (KGT) and Japan Tour associations.
OneAsia's objective is to be the leading tour in Australia and Asia competing on the same turf of the Asian Tour. Some Asian Tour members were fined and suspended for playing in an OneAsia tournament two yrs ago one of them is the former Brunei Open Winner - Terry Pilkadaris.
Anyway, the point is last weekend there was a golf tournament by KGT at the same time OneAsia also had a tournament in China (the Nanshan Masters) which offered more money (US$1m) than the KGT tournament (US$0.5m)
So they fined Kim B.O and Kim Dae Yun for playing the OneAsia tournament instead of their domestic tournament. Just to rub salt in the wounds, Kim BO won the Nanshan Masters in a play off over Michael Long.
