Nguyen Duc Son: The king defends his throne.

Nguyen Duc Son, the reigning National Golf Championship champion, enters this year's tournament with high determination to defend his title. In 2024, Duc Son convincingly won in Hai Phong , finishing the tournament with a total score of -6, leaving the runner-up three strokes behind despite playing in harsh weather conditions.

This victory continues Duc Son's explosive run of form with a series of titles such as the Tien Phong Golf Championship 2024, and especially the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final 2024 championship.

Entering 2025, despite not having won any more titles, the reigning champion maintains his steely spirit, focusing on adjusting his swing to reach peak performance. At the upcoming FLC Golf Links Quy Nhon, the golfer born in 2007 affirms that he will compete with all his might to defend his title, regardless of the competition from a host of young talents and seasoned professional golfers.

With his experience competing in major tournaments and his burning desire to assert his number one position, Duc Son will undoubtedly be a major obstacle for any golfer aspiring to dethrone him in Gia Lai this year.

Nguyen Tuan Anh: A breakout star

After impressing as runner-up in the 2024 National Golf Championship, Nguyen Tuan Anh entered 2025 in brilliant form. He won the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final 2025 with a total score of -8, being the only player to maintain a score under par for all three rounds (65-70-70).

At the 2025 Vietnam Junior Golf Championship (VJO), Tuan Anh won overwhelmingly with a total score of -12, leaving the second-place opponent 10 strokes behind, including 8 birdies in the final round and finishing with a birdie putt on the 18th hole.

The 16-year-old golfer also won Stage 3 of the VGA Junior Tour 2025, bringing his total number of titles in the Vietnamese junior golf system to 4, placing him among the top performers currently.

At the APGC Junior Championship 2025, Tuan Anh also made his mark with confident and skillful performances, securing the runner-up position, only behind Cooper More (New Zealand).

With his top form, unwavering composure, and bold playing style, Nguyen Tuan Anh has emerged as one of the strongest contenders for the championship title at the 2025 Gia Lai National Golf Championship.

Nguyen Trong Hoang: A rising young talent.

In less than two months, Nguyen Trong Hoang has won three titles. Notably, the 15-year-old golfer secured his first national title at the Vietnam Amateur Open (VAO) 2025. He led for all three days of competition, maintaining his advantage despite close competition from rivals, ultimately winning by one stroke.

Previously, Trong Hoang made a name for himself by winning the Boys 14-15 age group at the 2025 World Stars Junior Golf Championship in Las Vegas (USA) with a total score of -4, becoming the first Vietnamese golfer to achieve this.

Just before the 2025 Gia Lai National Golf Championship, Trong Hoang added another title to his collection: the 1st HNGA Junior Open Championship 2025 at Sky Lake Golf Course.

Despite lacking the experience of his seniors, Trong Hoang is highly regarded for his strong character, ability to handle pressure, and remarkable progress in a short period of time.

Heat coming from all sides.

Besides the three prominent stars Nguyen Duc Son, Nguyen Tuan Anh, and Nguyen Trong Hoang, this year's tournament also brings together a host of talented amateur golfers such as Nguyen Dang Minh, Le Minh Nghia, Do Duong Gia Minh, Tran The Bao, Pham The Nam, Nguyen Bao Phat, Do Duc Khang..., names that have made and are making a strong impression in junior and open tournaments in the country.

In the professional category, the list of participants is also very strong, featuring top names in Vietnamese golf such as Nguyen Nhat Long, Truong Chi Quan, Doan Van Dinh, Dinh Song Hai, Do Hong Giang, Le Huu Giang, Nguyen Huu Quyet, Nguyen Van Toan, Dao Van Hoan, etc. These are all experienced golfers who have competed and achieved success in many major tournaments.

The convergence of both ambitious young talents and seasoned professional golfers promises to transform the 2025 Gia Lai National Golf Championship into a breathtaking competition, where every swing could change the course of the game and determine the champion.
