The season proper starts with the Thailand Open at Thana City Golf and Sports Club from March 13 - 16 and is followed a fortnight later by the Indonesia PGA Championship at Damai Indah Golf's Bumi Serpong Damai (BSD) course (March 27 - 30).
According to a provisional schedule released on Monday, the tour then moves to China for the European Tour co-sanctioned Volvo China Open — celebrating its 20th edition in 2014 — at Genzon Golf Club in Shenzhen from April 24 - 27.
"OneAsia is all about providing more lucrative tournament opportunities for our members and these co-sanctioned events certainly offer players the chance to expand their horizons," said Chairman and Commissioner Sang Y. Chun.
"In our sixth year, we are looking forward to our best season to date, with some fantastic golf tournaments at great venues across the Asia-Pacific."
Before the first tournament, however, the season gets underway with Q-School in California later this month and a second opportunity for prospective OneAsia players in Malaysia in March.
The Los Angeles leg takes place at Industry Hills Golf Club's Eisenhower Course at Pacific Palms Resort from January 28 - 31, while Sutera Harbour Golf & Country Club in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, will host the Malaysia leg from March 5 - 8. Full details and application forms for Q-School are available here.
