Pham Tien Van, head of the organising committee said, “We are confident that those awarded will not only be grateful to the golf courses and golf-related entertainment items but also contribute to encouraging the industry to make more efforts to perfect the best services for golfers as well as promote the beauty of Vietnamese golf to the world.”

The ceremony welcomed a large number of judges, including representatives of Vietnam Golf & Leisure, the Vietnam Golf Association, the General Department of Physical Education & Sports, the general director of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, along with foreign golf experts and several directors of golf courses, hotels/resorts, entertainment brands, and golf services across the country.

Nguyen Trung Khanh, general director of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism said, “For five consecutive years since 2017, the World Golf Awards have honoured Vietnam as Asia's best golf destination, including the world's best golf destination in 2019 and 2021. Vietnam's consecutive receipt of these prestigious awards has affirmed the attractiveness of Vietnam's golf tourism."

“The organisation of the Vietnam Golf & Leisure Awards event will contribute to promoting the sustainable development of the golf movement, creating motivation for golf courses to upgrade services, and promoting Vietnam as an attractive golf destination in the region and world.”

Oh Sang Jun, an expert and judge of the top 100 golf courses in the world for US Golf Magazine and a member of the competition jury, has three major criteria to evaluate golf courses: form, function and condition. He also hopes that in the future, Vietnam will have a golf course in the top 100 of the world

“After playing 15 courses and visiting three more, I have high expectations for the future of Vietnamese golf. Vietnam has more than 1,700 km of beautiful coastline and the best geological conditions for golfing. You would be surprised if I told you that nearly half of the top 100 golf courses in the world are built on sandy soil like the coastal land of Vietnam, " said Oh Sang Jun.
