The Legends Tour is set to return to Vietnam later this year with the announcement of the Vietnam Legends Championship, taking place in Ho Chi Minh City from 21st to 23rd November.
A press conference took place earlier in the month to introduce the tournament to local media and stakeholders and marks the beginning of a series of international golf activities in Vietnam to position Ho Chi Minh City as a key venue within the global Legends Tour circuit.
Addressing the press conference, Ryan Howsam, Chairman of the Legends Tour, said: “We are honoured to have the Vietnam Legends Tour 2025 hosted in Ho Chi Minh City — a vibrant, friendly, and highly promising city. This tournament not only offers top-tier golf experiences but also presents opportunities for global legends to connect with Vietnam’s golf fans as well as the business community.
“From a corporate standpoint, events such as the Vietnam Legends Championship 2025 present more than just an opportunity to convene in a world-class golfing environment. They serve as a platform to engage with the market, foster dialogue with local authorities, and build meaningful connections within the business community — all of which are essential in an ever-evolving global landscape.”
The press conference was attended by leaders from the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, representatives from departments and agencies, along with key representatives from the Legends Tour, Vietnamese and international business leaders, business associations, universities, media agencies and golf enthusiasts.
The tournament will be supported by the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City — acting as the Head of the Organizing Committee — in coordination with The Golf House JSC.
Mr. Nguyễn Nam Nhân, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City, and Head of the Organizing Committee, said:
“Vietnam Legends Championship 2025 is not just a sporting event, but a bridge for cultural, economic, and human exchange between Vietnam and international friends. Through this event, we hope Ho Chi Minh City will affirm its role as a hub for organizing world-class sporting events, while opening up investment cooperation opportunities for the business community.”
Mrs. Nguyễn Gia Bảo, Chairwoman of The Golf House, promoter of the event, added:
“The official signing of a three-year strategic partnership with the Legends Tour to bring the Vietnam Legends Championship to this country marks a significant milestone for The Golf House. Our goal is not only to organise world-class tournaments but to foster a professional golf community and connect enterprises for sustainable growth. Ho Chi Minh City will be the launchpad for projecting Vietnam’s values onto the global stage.”
At the press conference, representatives from the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, Legends Tour and The Golf House officially signed a three-party strategic cooperation agreement, confirming their joint commitment to holding the Vietnam Legends Championship from 2025 to 2027 in Ho Chi Minh City.
Additionally, the Legends Tour and The Golf House signed a memorandum of understanding on the establishment of a Golf Academy in Vietnam — an initiative to nurture the next generation of athletes and advance the sustainable development of golf across Southeast Asia.
Vietnam Legends Championship 2025 is one of the key highlights of Ho Chi Minh City’s international sporting and diplomatic events calendar in 2025, contributing to the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Southern Liberation and National Reunification.
The tournament will gather more than 60 global golfers from the Legends Tour, hundreds of business executives and golfers from Vietnam and abroad, and more than 3,000 amateur participants joining the full lineup of events in advance of the main Pro Championship. The tournament promises world-class experiences, valuable opportunities to compete alongside legends, and exceptional business networking.
Beyond elite sporting value, the Vietnam Legends Championship 2025 also aims to promote the image of Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam globally and foster cultural, tourism, trade, and investment exchanges. In addition to inspiring the younger generation through Future Legends activities, it is hoped that the event will facilitate business partnerships between Vietnamese and international enterprises and build investment and trade bridges in priority sectors such as renewable energy, infrastructure & real estate, tourism & hospitality and technology & innovation.
