They will tee off in four categories for men's over-50 and over-60, and women's over-45 and over-55. 

Among the title candidates are Andrew Hung Pham who won five times, in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2021; Nguyễn Tuấn Anh, champion of the 2018 season and Nguyễn Thị Tố Uyên, female winner of 2019.

Carrying the message “Beyond Age, Beyond Limits”, the Vietnam Senior Championship is to confirm the mentality and ability of senior amateur players. Age will not prevent them from overcoming challenges and winning.

The organisers also expect to push the development in the community, especially focusing on people of middle-age, who will inspire young people to practise golf and spread dynamic lifestyles and the sports spirit.

Last year, Nguyễn Văn Tám won the men's over-50 category while Hoàng Mai took the title of the men's over-60 group. Ngô Thị An Trinh and Bùi Thị Hồng Thanh finished on top of the women's over-45 and over-55, respectively. 

The tournament is organised by the Sports Authority of Việt Nam, Vietnam Golf Association and VG Events, a unit of the VG Corp's ecosystem. VNS
