The World Friendship was a professional golf tournament held in Japan in the early 1970s. The event was held at the Horyuji Country Club in Ikaruga, Nara.[1]
The second tournament was won by Taiwan's Hsieh Yung-yo,[2] who came from a stroke behind 54-hole leader, New Zealand's Terry Kendall, to claim first prize.
In its final year, the event was part of the inaugural season of the Japan Golf Tour.[3] Another Taiwanese, Lu Liang-Huan ("Mr. Lu"), won the event. He defeated Australia's Graham Marsh and Japan's Isao Aoki in a playoff.[4]
