Experts recognize that 2025 is already a memorable year for the top faces of the Vietnamese golf team. For the first time, we won 1 Silver Medal (men's individual, Nguyen Tuan Anh), 1 Silver Medal (men's team) at the 2025 Asian Youth Games. Following that, the Vietnamese golf team won 1 Silver Medal (men's individual, Nguyen Anh Minh), 1 Bronze Medal (female individual, Le Chuc An) and 1 Bronze Medal (men's team) at SEA Games 33.
Leading the Vietnamese golf team at SEA Games 33 and at the 2025 Asian Youth Games, Mr. Nguyen Thai Duong once shared that all competition results reflect the very focused professional efforts and determination for the national colors of each athlete.
In fact, Nguyen Tuan Anh (individual runner-up at the Asian Youth Games), Nguyen Anh Minh (sea Games runner-up) or Le Chuc An (Sea Games bronze medalist) are the most outstanding athletes of Vietnamese golf. Their achievements have created a memorable result for Vietnamese golf in 2025. Tuan Anh is the first Vietnamese athlete to win a golf medal at the Asian Youth Games.
Vietnamese Golf aims for the best development to have a solid foundation, creating professional motivation for Vietnamese athletes to improve their skills. In 2026, the Vietnam Golf Association will organize 23 tournaments at all levels. Notably, 6 youth tournaments belonging to the Vietnam Golf Association system will take place in 2026, which is forecast to create valuable changes in expertise.
Improving the level and increasing the competitiveness of young Vietnamese golfers is carefully calculated when building the program to organize the youth tournament in 2026," a representative of the Vietnam Golf Association announced when announcing its VGA Tour Junior 2026 youth competition system. It can be seen that from youth tournaments, Vietnamese golf has discovered many successful golfers like this.
Especially Vietnamese sports is starting to prepare forces towards the arena of the 20th Asian Games (ASIAD 20). Vietnamese golf has people to send to compete. However, managers will see what goals Vietnamese golf aims for at ASIAD 20. Surely, experts will soon recognize that Vietnamese golf athletes are difficult to compete for ASIAD medals at the present time.
Three years ago, the Vietnamese golf team participated in ASIAD 19 held in China in 2023, including Nguyen Nhat Long, Nguyen Dang Minh, Nguyen Anh Minh, Le Khanh Hung, Ngo Bao Nghi, Le Chuc An. At that time, Nguyen Anh Minh had the best individual results for the Vietnamese golf team, ranking T30 in the men's group, while Ngo Bao Nghi was the best Vietnamese female athlete (ranked 27th).
However, golf managers understand that if they do not create competition opportunities, Vietnamese athletes will hardly have the opportunity to accumulate valuable experience. If only targeting the goal of having a medal to send athletes to compete, the development opportunities for golfers will be limited.
