As a highlight of the festival, the championship, part of the Asian Development Tour, will gather 144 golfers, including 120 international professional ones invited by the organiser – the Asia Tour company, and 20 professional players from Vietnam. The remaining four amateur players are nominated by sponsors.
So far, 74 out of 120 international linksmen have registered to participate. They are from Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, Japan, the US, Australia, the UK, and Switzerland, among others.
The final round of the championship will see the competition of 50 players who vie for total rewards of 75,000 USD.
Currently, BRG, a pioneer in the development of golf sports and golf tourism in Vietnam, has fully prepared the infrastructure to organise the tournament, and invited foreign experts to check and ensure the course quality.
As part of the festival, visitors will be treated to hands-on experiences of golf activities at golf courses in the central region through a free sightseeing tour around the Montgomerie Link between August 25 and September 5 and a free golf practice programme for children under 12 years old at the Laguna course.
