Phnom Penh, Cambodia: Vattanac Golf Resort will raise Cambodia’s profile as an emerging golfing destination when it hosts the inaugural Vattanac Legends Championship.

To take place from November 21-23, the championship will feature celebrated golfing figures, including Ryder Cup captains, Major champions, and international stars.

Designed by six-time Major winner Sir Nick Faldo, Vattanac Golf Resort, managed by Troon Golf, features two award-winning courses that blend world-class design with Khmer cultural heritage.

Neak Oknha Sam Ang Vattanac, Executive Director of Vattanac Group, said: “It is an honour to welcome the Legends Tour to Cambodia for the first time. The Vattanac Legends Championship will showcase not only our world-class golf facilities but also the pride, resilience, and hospitality of the Cambodian people.

“By bringing Ryder Cup captains and Major winners to Phnom Penh, we are opening a new chapter for Cambodian sport and tourism. This tournament will inspire our youth, unite Cambodians in pride, strengthen international friendships, and position Cambodia as a destination for world-class golf events and beyond.”

With international broadcast coverage shining a spotlight not only on Phnom Penh and Vattanac Golf Resort but also on the unity, pride, and progress of the Cambodian people, the Vattanac Legends Championship will reinforce the Kingdom’s reputation as a rising sports and tourism destination.

Phil Harrison, Legends Tour CEO, said: “The Legends Tour is delighted to announce its partnership with Neak Oknha Vattanac and The Vattanac Group to deliver Cambodia’s inaugural premier global professional golf tournament at Vattanac Golf Resort.

“With Cambodia rapidly emerging as a destination for golf tourism, the recent opening of the Techo International Airport and the calibre of world-class partners already committed to the event further underline its significance.
