Highlights at the first T99 VGA Tour Championship 02:27, 04/01/2023

The T99 VGA Tour Championship ended successfully with the well-deserved championship belonging to Australian golfer - Joel Troy. This is a playground that leaves many impressions not only on athletes but also Vietnamese golf enthusiasts. For the first time in Vietnam, a "summary" tournament of the year only for the best players on the VGA rankings, the T99 VGA Tour Championship is the beginning of the transformation of professional golf. 

T99 VGA Tour Championship is written from the stories of athletes over the past year: the story of Vietnamese professional golf, the story of desires, passions, the story of icons. Each player has been carving their name on the golf map with their own journey and story. During that journey, the top 30 players in the prize pool win “passports” to the glorious path of the T99 VGA Tour Championship.

Although it is a "rookie" arena, this tournament is considered to be the most "spending" tournament of the year with a prize money of up to 1.5 billion VND, of which 500 million VND is for the champion. This year's highest position has named Joel Troy, he is also the champion of DNSE Vietnam Open 2022. With his "outrageous" shots, Joel Troy has risen to the top of the table with a total of -5. This has helped him raise the bonus this year to nearly VND800 million. 

Not only receiving a cash prize, the season champion will be wearing a custom shirt to honor the efforts during the past year. Inspired by the tradition associated with the golf swing, the Five Body shirt is a great "gift" from Aristino for the champion, showing the refinement of Vietnamese people to international friends. The moment Joel Troy wears the five-part dress conveys the cultural interference between Vietnam and the region.

If the parties are "afraid" when sponsoring the HIO for the professional tournament, at the T99 VGA Tour Championship, Lac Hong Investment Joint Stock Company decided to sponsor 200 million dong in cash for athletes who recorded HIO first at hole 14 - par 3, with a tee distance of 141 yards. And the fastest player to win this award is Tang Nhon Phu. At the golf hole that is considered the heart of Thanh Lanh Valley Golf & Resort, from a distance of 163 yards, with a 9 iron, Tang Nhon Phu put the ball into the hole after the first stroke. At the same time, he also became the first VGA Tour player to receive an award for recording HIO. 

The champion of the tournament will not only receive the prestigious trophy, but it will also be a glorious "end" when being crowned "champion of champions". Australian athlete Joel Troy proved he fully deserved this title after 4 rounds of intense competition.

It can be said that the T99 VGA Tour Championship is a "sweet" end to the 1-year efforts of professional athletes. This is also a tournament that clearly demonstrates the breakthrough of golf in the country, a stepping stone for the far-reaching development of Vietnamese golf in general and the VGA Tour system in particular.
