NZ Professional Women Golfers Trust - NZPWG

07/10/2025

The NZPWG past and present board members are sad to announce that the NZPWG has been officially wound up.
A few of us past and present Board members gathered to make a toast to all that the NZPWG achieved in its time of operation including 11 Anita Boon Pro-Am tournaments. Thanks to everyone all our past sponsors, collaborating partners, and golfing participants without you all the Trust and the tournaments wouldn’t have achieved all that they did. Final funds were awarded to Fiona Xu - congratulations! - to help her with her golf career.
Here’s to the memories… cheers!

Wenyung Keh (our current KFC scholarship winner) had a great last round at The Clubroom Gulf Harbour Open today. She finished as top woman by 5 shots at -9. Great to see Wenyung and her sisters Munchin and Siyi out there competing. They all 3 qualified for the China Tour but of course couldn’t go because of Covid 19.
They’ll be playing again next week at Muriwai in the Jennian Homes Charles Tour event. You could go out and support them in playing their awesome golf. You could even see Ryan Fox as he’ll be there too😀
