From humble beginnings, the Tusker Vanuatu Golf Open is now a well established event for professional and Amateurs alike.

The first Vanuatu Golf Open was played at the Port Vila Golf and Country Club in 1984. It was sponsored by Benson and Hedges for AUD$2,000 and was contested by only three professionals from Australia and Amateurs from New Caledonia, Fiji and the Solomon Islands. The event now hosts up to 50 professionals from Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and New Caledonia.

The Port Vila Golf and Country Club is presently the only 18 hole championship course in Vanuatu and the course provides a challenge to professionals and Amateurs alike. The 5818 metre layout runs parallel to the Ocean facing the outer reaches of the magnificent Port Vila Harbour.

The VGO Committee works almost year round to ensure the success of the event which now boasts prize money of AUD$50,000 which is due to the generous support of our Naming Sponsor, Tusker Brewery, who is the naming sponsor and their generous support is complemented by the sponsorship of many other local corporations in Port Vila.

The 2010 Vanuatu Golf Open will be staged once again at the Port Vila Golf and Country club from the 17th to the 22nd of August. The 4 day tournament is preceded on Tuesday 17th by a welcome cocktail party and on Wednesday the traditional Pro am event which in 2010 will be sponsored by FR8 Logistics.
