Renowned golfers attend Vinpearl DIC Legends Vietnam tournament in Nha Trang

According to details provided by the tournament’s organisers, several renowned golfers such as Michael Campbell, Euan McIntosh, James Kingston, and Emanuele Canonica are expected to compete in the tournament.

Campbell, who won the 2005 US Open Golf Tournament and the European Tour and is serving as the ambassador for this year's tournament, said he was impressed by the golf course system in Nha Trang and the organisers’ thorough preparations for the event, adding that he was very excited to explore the local tourism on offer.

Nguyen Ngoc Chu, former vice president and general secretary of the Vietnam Golf Association, said Vinpearl DIC Legends Vietnam 2023 represents a tournament within the framework of the Legends Tour which has been held for the first time in Southeast Asia.

Choosing Vietnam as a tournament venue has served to elevate the country's position and golf potential, while simultaneously offering an opportunity to attract golf tournaments from Europe and America, he added.

Chu emphasised that the organisation of the international tournament will also contribute to boosting professionalism in the local golf industry.

The Vinpearl DIC Legends Vietnam 2023 tournament is due to take place from November 27 to December 2 at Vinpearl Golf Nha Trang with two Pro-Am exchange rounds and three official Alliance competition days.

The event will be held as part of the European Legends Tour system with special competition formats, thereby opening up further opportunities for young talents and amateur golfers to share experience and improve their skills.
