The Fiji International was a men's golf tournament in Fiji, originally sanctioned by the PGA Tour of Australasia. The event was Fiji's first internationally broadcast golf tournament to a worldwide audience across more than 30 countries in over 400 million homes, a first for a single sporting event in Fiji.[1]
The inaugural tournament was held from 14–17 August 2014 at Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course. It was a tier one event on the PGA Tour of Australasia and was co-sanctioned with OneAsia. The purse for the event was US$1,000,000.[2] [3] The 2015 event was played in October with a A$1,125,000 purse and was again co-sanctioned by OneAsia.
Beginning in 2016, the event was co-sanctioned with the European Tour.[4] From 2017 it was also co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour. Prize money was A$1,500,000 in 2016 and 2017 and A$1,250,000 in 2018.
