Vietnam welcomes world-class golf legends
After many years of waiting, the golf community will have the opportunity to witness world golf legends competing at home. According to the plan, Race to Legend 1 will take place on September 20, 2025 at KN Golf Links - a coastal golf course with a unique links style designed by the legend Greg Norman himself. Round 1 will welcome legendary names in the world of golf such as Phil Harrison, Bill Longmuir, Jeremy Robinson, Gary Evans, Van Phillips and Gary Murphy.
Next, the second leg (Race to Legend 2) will be held on October 23, 2025 at Long Thanh Golf Course - which is very familiar to the Southern golf community thanks to its diverse terrain, wide fairway and standard service system.
Both courses are favorite destinations for the Vietnamese golf community thanks to their high-quality courses, beautiful scenery and attentive service. In particular, these are all courts in the ecosystem invested and developed by KN Holdings Group, not only providing ideal competition conditions but also contributing to raising the image of Vietnamese golf on the international map.
Vietnam Legends Tour 2025, with the theme "A place to meet legends", is not only a sporting tournament but a door to bring Vietnam deeper into the global golf ecosystem. The tournament is expected to gather more than 60 legends who have won Major tournaments, European Tours or Ryder Cups, along with 3,500 golfers and businessmen at home and abroad.
This is one of the rare events in Southeast Asia that Legends Tour - the world's leading prestigious golf tournament system for legends, included in the competition schedule. The event is organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports as the Head of the Organizing Committee, in coordination with Legends Tour and many domestic and international strategic partners.
For golfers in Vietnam, this is an opportunity to admire legendary strikes and a rare opportunity to learn tactics and skills in handling real-life situations from names that have made waves at international tournaments.
Accompanying the tournament, KN Holdings contributes to promoting golf tourism
Within the framework of this year's tournament, KN Cam Ranh (a member company of KN Holdings) accompanied the role of Diamond Sponsor, demonstrating the Group's commitment to the development of sports, especially golf - a sport that is growing strongly in Vietnam. Long Thanh Stadium and KN Golf Links participating in the competition system not only affirms KN Holdings' position in the service industry, but also contributes to promoting the image of host localities such as Dong Nai and Khanh Hoa in the field of sports tourism. This is a model of combination between golf, resorts and investment that many countries are pursuing and Vietnam has full potential for successful development.
The fact that KN Golf Links and Long Thanh golf courses were chosen as the venue for two of the Race to Legend rounds is a clear demonstration of the quality of the course, the ability to organize professionally and the comprehensive service ecosystem invested by KN Holdings. KN Golf Links - with a typical Coastal Link style, the fairway is always changing with waves and sea winds, always requiring players to use precise ball control techniques. Meanwhile, Long Thanh Golf Course is famous for its light hilly, fast-green terrain and is cared for to meet international competition standards. This is a familiar destination for both amateur and professional tournaments for many years.
Race to Legend 2025 is not just a "playground for big names". With the organization of many expanded tournaments, Vietnamese golfers will have the opportunity to access, compete or experience the professional atmosphere with veteran golfers from Europe. The tournament is expected to create a positive impact on the domestic golf movement, encourage methodical competition, thorough investment and form a long-term competition mindset - something that is still quite new in many golf clubs today.
With careful preparation from the organizing committee, the support of pioneering businesses such as KN Holdings and the participation of legends who have made the history of world golf, this year's tournament promises to be an important milestone in the commercialization journey of Vietnamese golf.
