PaR nz July Update
There's a lot happening - read on
What a month it's already been for our travelling professionals!
New Zealand now has the Champion Golfer of the Year – take a bow, Ryan Fox – after winning The Open 2026 at Royal Birkdale. And Kazuma Kobori delivered an outstanding performance, finishing in a very credible 11th place.
Meanwhile, Dame Lydia Ko tied for seventh at the 2026 Amundi Evian Championshipin France. She fired a spectacular closing seven-under-par 64 to finish at 13 under par. A special highlight of the week was having her husband, Jun Chung, serve as her caddie for the very first time.
The New Zealand Women's Golf Open will return next year after a 10-year hiatus, with Dame Lydia Ko already confirmed as the tournament's headline drawcard. The event will be held at Wainui Golf & Function Centre, north of Auckland, from 18–21 March 2027, and will be co-sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour (LET) and the WPGA Tour of Australasia.
PaR nz Golfing Holidays has packages available for the upcoming 2027 majors, giving you the chance to watch your favourite golfing stars. Tours include the Amundi Evian Championship, The 155th Open at St Andrews, and the Ryder Cup at Adare Manor in September. Reserve your place now – contact Denise for details.
Where else can we take you? Closer to home, we're offering the final places for the 2026 MORA Millbrook Masters, and there may still be an opportunity to play in Hawke's Bay at the Trinity Hill 4-Course Classic. Check with Nicky to see where the reserve list stands.
2027 – oh boy! Releasing on 30 July 2026 is the exciting new-look Barfoot & Thompson Bay of Plenty 5-Course Classic.
Or perhaps Cambodia or Da Nang take your fancy? There are only a few places remaining, so don't miss out.
Our South African and Canadian tours for 2027 are currently sold out, but it never hurts to enquire. From time to time, places do become available if someone has to withdraw.
The golfing calendar continues to deliver, with the Amundi Evian Championship, The 155th Open at St Andrews, and the AIG Women's Open at Royal St George's all taking centre stage. Want to be there? Let us know.
Cruising through Europe along the Seine and Danube rivers is a wonderfully relaxing way to combine travel and golf. Then, in September, all eyes turn to Ireland and Adare Manor for the Ryder Cup. Will you be there?
Happy golfing!
Denise, Kim & Nicky
