       In addition to providing financial and resource support, Ta Ya Group also creates more competitive opportunities for golfers. TLPGA Chairwoman Liu Yi-Zhen pointed out: "Ta Ya's participation is crucial for female athletes. Especially since Ta Ya started from Tainan and gained international recognition, this event's main stage was chosen at Jianan Golf Course. We hope Ta Ya's involvement can call on more local enterprises to join in supporting the women's Taiwan tour, invigorate the golf atmosphere in southern Taiwan, and make domestic events more exciting." Additionally, Ta Ya-sponsored players in this event also shared their experiences and gratitude.
