Vietnamese Golf Catches International Winds with KPGA's Winter Tour

With the strategic cooperation agreement between CV Resort - Phoenix Golf, GolfT, J Golf and KPGA (Korea Professional Golf Association), Vietnam has become the first stop of the prestigious winter tournament series, opening up a rare international competition opportunity for the golfer community in the country and the region.

On November 13, in Hanoi , CV Resort - Phoenix Golf officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with GolfT, J GOLF and the Korea Professional Golf Association (KPGA), aiming to develop the golf industry and promote international exchange.

Under the agreement, the parties will coordinate to implement the KPGA Winter Tour and Mini Tour in Vietnam, develop professional golf programs, create a quality training environment for young athletes, organize domestic tournaments and operate training programs, and many other areas of cooperation.

CV Resort Vice President Lee Hoseong said the event is a strategic step to turn the CV Resort ecosystem into a Korean-standard golf - entertainment - resort center in Vietnam, with professional operations, international media and long-term development opportunities for all three parties.

KPGA is the leading professional tournament operator in Korea, with the KPGA Tour season lasting from April to November. After the main season, KPGA often organizes the Winter Tour in countries with tropical monsoon climates such as Thailand, with a scale of 100 - 120 golfers, competing for 36 holes, attracting many of the region's top golfers.

For the first time in Vietnam, Winter Tour will be open to all domestic and foreign golfers, creating a playground for Vietnamese golfers to directly compete with KPGA athletes, and at the same time get closer to the international professional golf environment. Mini Tour in the KPGA ecosystem plays the role of a "springboard" for golfers to accumulate points, gain experience and win a place to participate in the Winter Tour.

The event is expected to take place in early 2027 at Phoenix Golf Resort ( Ninh Binh ), promising to bring exciting competitions and opportunities to experience international standard professional golf.
