New Zealand became the newest country member to join the Asia Golf Leaders Forum (AGLF) where the South Pacific nation has pledged its commitment to develop and expand women’s golf in the Asia Pacific region following a recent official MOU signing ceremony in Gangnam, Seoul.
With New Zealand’s latest membership, AGLF now has members that include 14 associations from 13 countries including Korea (KGA & KLPGA), Thailand, Chinese Taipei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, New Zealand, Hong Kong, India, Myanmar and Singapore.
Dean Murphy, Chief Executive of Golf New Zealand (GNZ) said: “We are excited that Golf New Zealand can contribute to the development of Asia Pacific region’s golf, which has been spearheading world women’s golf business in recent years.”
Golf New Zealand, which has not been able to host a tournament for the past five years largely due to the covid-19 pandemic, has agreed to host the New Zealand Women’s Open in 2024 and preparations for the event are already underway.
New Zealand’s much-developed golf infrastructure and industry have over 400 golf courses.
Lydia Ko, currently ranked number one in the world, has also come through the ranks from 
New Zealand’s golf development programs.
Other members of AGLF include companies and golf courses such as Hoban Construction Co., Ltd, Baz International, Yeoeun, Sky 72, Solago CC, Yousung CC, GA Korea (Korea, Gold CC).
R&A (Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews) is also a special member of AGLF where they support their belief in the development of women’s golf in the Asia Pacific region.
