The Blue Canyon Phuket Championship was a professional golf tournament on the Asian Tour. It was played from 25 to 28 November 2021 on the Canyon Course at Blue Canyon Country Club in Phuket, Thailand, with a purse of US$1 million.[1]
The tournament marked the Asian Tour's return to competition after a suspension of almost two years caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] Chan Shih-chang won the tournament with a score of 270, 18-under-par, one stroke ahead of Tom Kim and Sadom Kaewkanjana.[1][2][4]

In the final round, Chan Shih-chang shot a four-under-par 68 to finish at 18-under-par. He made par on the 18th hole while Sadom Kaewkanjana made bogey, giving Chan a one-stroke victory.[2][3] The win was Chan's third Asian Tour title and his first since 2016.[2]
Thailand's Ratchanon Chantananuwat, then aged 14, made his Asian Tour debut in the event and finished tied for 15th at 12-under-par after a closing 65.[6]
