The tournament will attract about 150 golfers who have to pay VND2.5 million (about US$110) in entry fee per person. The collected money will be all donated to charity.
The organisers expect to raise more than VND1.3 billion (US$57,000) this year.
During the press conference to announce the event on March 23, two students, Le Van Tu from the Hanoi National University of Education and Thao Seo Si from the Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry, were granted full scholarships of VND10 million (US$438.7) each for the four straight year.
