From humble beginnings, the 2007 Tusker Vanuatu Golf Open is shaping up to be the best event yet.

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. In 2003, the event attracted a field of over 30 professionals from Australia and New Zealand.

With the interest already being shown we anticipate the 2007 competition to reach our maximum field number of 180, including 40 professionals.

Due to the relatively small field of the VGO, a majority of male players are grouped with a Professional for the first 2 days of the event. (Unfortunately the ladies do not have this privilege due to the requirement of running the Men’s & Ladies competitions separately, however they certainly have the opportunity to play with the Pros in the first day Pro-Am event).

Interest in this event continues to grow, with the VGO becoming more popular each year, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, the work completed by local volunteers and the committee, and particularly our major Sponsor ‘Tusker’.

Free transportation to the golf course (and return) is provided from the major resorts each day, with timetables available closer to the event.
