Westpac will be the Official Bank of the 2016 Fiji International.
“We have been monitoring the development of the Fiji International over the past two years and have been impressed with the footprint the tournament is making both domestically and internationally,” said Brett Hooker, General Manager for the Westpac Banking Corporation in Fiji.
Westpac’s partnership with the Fiji International comes during a year of growth for the tournament which is now co-sanctioned by the European Tour and ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia and will feature World Number 21 Brandt Snedeker and three time Major Champion Vijay Singh.
“Partnering with Westpac as the Official Bank of the Fiji International is an exciting development for the tournament,” said Matt Porm, Commercial Manager for the Fiji International.
Before the Fiji International is staged at Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course from 6-9 October, Westpac will help promote the tournament across Fiji via the upcoming “Give Golf A Go” campaign.
“The Fiji International and Westpac teams have already begun working on a number of exciting initiatives in the lead up to the tournament that will see us engaging with local communities to introduce golf at the grass roots level,” added Porm.
“ Both Westpac and the Fiji International are keen to build a long term partnership together that leverages both domestic and international collaboration which is fantastic”
“We are committed to partnering with Fiji’s biggest golf event and look forward to rewarding our loyal customers with special VIP experiences at the Fiji International this year, as well as supporting the volunteer program which gives people the chance to be part of this significant international sporting event,” added Hooker.
