The tournament drew over 100 international and domestic golfers from various skill levels.

The event also left a remarkable impression with the surprise attendance of Sir Nick Faldo, the legendary British golfer.

Beyond being a fair play competition for golf enthusiasts, the tournament champions a noble cause. Hoiana and VinaCapital Foundation have coordinated more than 10 Corporate Social Responsibility activities and initiatives, with a total value exceeding $333,333.

"This is an annual charity golf tournament hosted by Hoiana Shores Golf Club to support the less fortunate. We aspire for our upcoming tournaments to grow in scale to contribute to amplifying the spirit of giving and creating meaningful changes within the community," said Steven Wolstenholme, president and CEO of Hoiana Resort.

Notably, Hoiana Open Cup 2022 raised $9,580 to aid impoverished children in Danang and Quang Nam.
