Phnom Penh, Cambodia – The Legends Tour has officially announced the inaugural Vattanac Legends Championship, taking place from November 21–23, 2025, at Vattanac Golf Resort — Cambodia’s premier golf destination.
This landmark event marks the first-ever visit of the Legends Tour to Cambodia, bringing together some of the most celebrated names in senior golf — including Ryder Cup captains, Major champions, and international stars. The tournament not only highlights Cambodia’s growing stature in world golf but also signifies a new era for the region’s golf tourism and professional sports landscape.
A Historic Milestone for Cambodia Golf
The Vattanac Legends Championship 2025 represents the beginning of a USD 1.9 million trilogy of Legends Tour tournaments across Cambodia, Vietnam, and Mauritius, which will conclude the 2025 season and determine the Order of Merit Champion.
This milestone event is organized in partnership with Vattanac Brewery and Vattanac Bank, reinforcing Cambodia’s emergence as a leading sports and tourism destination in Southeast Asia. It also reflects Vattanac Group’s vision to celebrate Cambodian heritage, strengthen national pride, and foster international partnerships through sport, hospitality, and sustainable development.
“It is an honour to welcome the Legends Tour to Cambodia for the first time,” said Neak Oknha Sam Ang Vattanac, Executive Director of Vattanac Group.
“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.”
Managed by Troon Golf, the globally renowned golf management company, Vattanac Golf Resort features two award-winning Sir Nick Faldo–designed championship courses — the East Course and the West Course — both reflecting Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage through their design and landscape.
The East Course, where the Vattanac Legends Championship will be held, was named “Cambodia’s Best Golf Course” at the 2024 World Golf Awards. The layout integrates iconic Khmer architecture and historic landmarks, including scale replicas of Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple, and Preah Vihear Temple, offering players a visually stunning and culturally immersive experience.
Each hole combines strategic shot-making with dramatic water features, undulating greens, and panoramic views, establishing Vattanac Golf Resort as one of Asia’s top golf experiences.
Phil Harrison, CEO of the Legends Tour, emphasized the importance of Cambodia’s entry into the Tour’s global schedule:
“The Legends Tour is delighted to partner with Neak Oknha Vattanac and the Vattanac Group to deliver Cambodia’s inaugural global professional golf tournament. With the recent opening of the Techo International Airport and the calibre of international partners involved, this event further highlights Cambodia’s rapid rise as a destination for golf tourism.”
The Vattanac Legends Championship is expected to attract global media coverage, elite professional golfers, and golf fans from around the world — positioning Cambodia golf as a key player in the international golf tourism circuit.
Located just 45 minutes from Phnom Penh’s city center, Vattanac Golf Resort spans over 500 hectares of meticulously designed landscape. The resort is part of the Vattanac Group’s vision to create an integrated luxury sports and lifestyle destination, featuring:
Beyond golf, the resort complements Cambodia’s tourism appeal, linking seamlessly with Phnom Penh’s vibrant culture, hospitality, and new infrastructure developments.
As the Vattanac Legends Championship 2025 prepares to make its debut, it symbolizes Cambodia’s transformation into one of Asia’s most exciting emerging golf destinations.
With world-class facilities, a growing golf culture, and strong international partnerships, Vattanac Golf Resort is set to lead the next chapter of Cambodia golf tourism — where sport, culture, and hospitality unite on the global stage.
