, with which it had poor relations. From 2010 to 2017, the OneAsia Tour had world ranking status in its own right. Having had a ten tournament schedule in each of its first few seasons, OneAsia's fortunes began to decline. Being reliant on co-sanctioning arrangements to fill out the calendar – only one event was not co-sanctioned in 2013 and 2014 – tour members were afforded a limited number of places in the tournaments. In 2015, there were just seven tournaments, all co-sanctioned. In 2016, there were just four, and one fewer in 2017. Early in 2018, having not hosted a sole-sanctioned event for three years, OneAsia lost its right to offer world ranking points. Early 2018 saw an extensive restructuring of the organisation with a new management team put in place in an attempt to revive the tour. A Q School was organised, but due to the lack of status of the tour, having lost world ranking points, and without any calendar of tournaments, there were less than 20 entrants. To start the new season OneAsia co-sanctioned the Solaire Philippine Open and had plans for a further four tournaments in 2018, but these were not played. One tournament was scheduled for 2019, but ultimately no tournaments were played.

In January 2009, it was announced that there would be a new series of events across the Asia-Pacific region, to be organised by the PGA of Australia in co-operation with China Golf Association, the Japan Golf Tour, the Korean Golf Association and the Korean PGA. The aim of these events would be to raise the profile of professional golf in the region and to compete with the likes of the

, but some media commentators dismissed these reasons since the tournament had clashed with the Players Championship the previous year as well and instead attributed the cancellation to sponsor discontent with the sanctioning changes. Following a meeting of the Official World Golf Rankings Committee (OWGR) at the Open Championship in July 2009, all OneAsia events were awarded Official World Golf Ranking points. In May 2018, the OWGR revoked the Tour's world ranking eligibility.
