South Tangerang, 27 January 2026 – PT Bank J Trust Indonesia Tbk (J Trust Bank) reaffirmed its commitment to the development of women’s golf and the advancement of female athletes across Indonesia and the Asia-Pacific region by becoming a sponsor for the Indonesia Women’s Open (IWO) 2026.
This prestigious professional tournament is scheduled to take place from January 30 to February 1, 2026, at the Damai Indah Golf Club, Bumi Serpong Damai (BSD), South Tangerang. The 2026 IWO tournament is free to attend, allowing the public to watch talented golfers from across the Asia Pacific region compete.
Japanese professional golfer, Aihi Takano, who is officially sponsored by J Trust Bank since March 2024, will compete as one of the tournament's top and most promising contenders. Aihi recently made headlines by securing her maiden victory at the 2025 Yonex Ladies Golf Tournament in Nagaoka, Japan, where she set a historic record as the youngest winner in the tournament's history.
Ritsuo Fukadai, President Director of J Trust Bank, stated: "J Trust Bank is dedicated to supporting the growth of women’s golf and athletes both locally and internationally. We believe that sports provide an exceptional platform for nurturing young talent, ensuring equal opportunities for female golfers to excel, and inspiring the next generation globally."
The 2026 IWO is organized by the Asian Golf Leaders Forum (AGLF) and supported by the Indonesian Golf Association (PGI) and the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Tour (KLPGA). The event will feature over 120 female golfers from 12 countries across the Asia-Pacific region.
Now in its second year, the IWO 2026 has significantly increased its profile with a total prize purse of US$600,000 (approx. Rp10 billion)—double the amount of the inaugural 2025 edition. This makes it the most lucrative women’s professional golf tournament on the Asia-Pacific.
"We are delighted to renew our support for the Indonesia Women’s Open. It is a privilege to witness these athletes demonstrate the focus, strategy, discipline, and sportsmanship required to compete at a world-class level," added Ritsuo Fukadai.
J Trust Bank enthusiastically invites the public to join in supporting these exceptional athletes as they compete in this landmark sporting event in Indonesia.
