Gold level sponsor, InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa is thrilled to be hosting three time Major champion Nick Price, and Fiji national hero Vijay Singh for the upcoming PGA OneAsia Fiji International Tournament. Singh and Price are amongst an arm's length list of golf excellence to vie for the tournament's $1 million prize purse, to be played at Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course in less than four weeks.
Working literally side by side Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course and InterContinental Fiji deliver a world-class golf retreat in paradise. Zimbabwean golf celebrity Nick Price will bring his prowess to the course which already includes Fiji born world champion Vijay Singh, and both players will be spending their downtime at the resort while off the greens.
In support of an earlier statement by PGA CEO Brian Thorbun, General Manager of InterContinental Fiji, Erik Stuebe says, “In addition to the immediate multi-million dollar boost to local economy the influx of visitors will bring, the tournament places Fiji on the world stage as an exceptional golf destination, which has long term benefits for Fiji's tourism industry.”
“As the gold sponsor of Fiji International, the resort's thrilled to see such a positive response to the event both locally and internationally,” Stuebe said. “Our championship golf course will provide a worthy challenge for even the most experienced of golfers and we're looking forward to the tee off next month!”
