VGA Deputy General Secretary Pham Thanh Tri, who is also head of the organising board, said many young Vietnamese golfers studying and working abroad such as Truong Chi Quan, Hanako Kawasaki and Thao My are expected to show their talents in the annual tournament.
The championship features men’s amateur and professional categories, along with events for mid-aged golfers, he said.
Tri added that the association will organise a year-end golf tournament in support of the poor at Hanoi-based Long Bien golf course on December 31.
