Team PKC began as just a few talented Asian pros, but towards the end of 2015, PKC stepped up their efforts to begin signing the greatest talent in Asia. They have recently announced for 2016 a four man team from the Philippines, who are now officially “Team PKC Manila.” This talented group of players all have years of experience in the game and are well respected among their fellow players. Bringing them all under the PKC banner is certainly a statement of intent, and a great addition to the existing "Team PKC Macau"
