American star Brandt Snedeker will headline the Fiji International when it is played from October 6-9 at Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course.
The eight-time US PGA Tour winner is keen to add to his collection of titles when he makes his debut in the tournament, which for the first time will be co-sanctioned by the European Tour and the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia.
“I am excited to be coming to play in the Fiji International – I enjoy competing all over the world but this will be my first time playing a golf tournament in Fiji,” said the World Number 23.
“I will try not to get too distracted by the beauty of Fiji, as I would love to win another tournament this year.”
The Fiji International is fast gaining a positive reputation amongst the best golfers in the world, with the endorsement of his compatriot Matt Kuchar, the 2015 champion, helping lure Snedeker to the Pacific paradise.
“Matt returned from the Fiji International saying such fantastic things about the tournament that I decided I needed to come,” added Snedeker.
“He told me all about the beauty and challenge of the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course, but also the friendly people and the fun things to do away from the golf course so I am also bringing my family.
“Hopefully, just like Matt, I can win the Fiji International.
What could be better than combining a family holiday with winning a European Tour event?
