Participants will compete in both individual and team events, with the champion earning a slot at the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (R&A)’s Senior Amateur Championship.
Director of the tournament Bach Cuong Khang said that this event affirms the VGA’s organising capacity for international tournaments and highlights Vietnam's golf infrastructure, particularly its ability to host high-quality golf competitions.
Additionally, the tournament serves as an opportunity to introduce and promote the image of the Southeast Asian nation as a friendly and welcoming tourist destination.
Founded in 2006, the championship has been held 12 times, with the most recent edition taking place in Malaysia in 2019. In 2013, Vietnam hosted the tournament for the first time at the Montgomerie Links Golf Course in the central city of Da Nang./.
