The Asian Tour, which had not been offered the co-sanctioning rights to which it felt it was entitled, responded by calling the event an "invasive" action that "colonised" Asia in "blatant disregard" of the "principles of the International Federation of PGA Tours",{{cite news |url=http://www.sportinglife.com/golf/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=golf/07/07/03/GOLF_Korea.html |title=Asian Tour left fuming |newspaper=Sporting Life |first=Mark |last=Garrod |date=3 July 2007 |access-date=22 November 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605021001/http://www.sportinglife.com/golf/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=golf%2F07%2F07%2F03%2FGOLF_Korea.html |archive-date=5 June 2011 |url-status=dead }} but six months later it agreed terms to co-sanction the event.{{cite news |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080116/jsp/sports/story_8788249.jsp |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120914141121/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080116/jsp/sports/story_8788249.jsp |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 14, 2012 |title=Asian Tour co-sanctions Indian Masters |newspaper=The Telegraph India |date=16 January 2008 |access-date=22 November 2008}}
