At exactly 12 noon on June 28, golfers will enter a fierce competition on courses A and B, expected to last until 17 hours after the end of the 18-hole golf competition.
Attractive competitions
The "I Love Vietnam" Golf Tournament is an event organized by the Lao Dong Newspaper for the first time in September 2023 with the meaning of creating more playgrounds for professional and amateur golfers in Ho Chi Minh City and provinces and cities across the country, and through the tournament, joining hands with the two programs "Proud of the National Flag" and "Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper Scholarship".
With the scale of a sporting event combined with community activities, the Organizing Committee of the 3rd "I Love Vietnam" Golf Tournament - 2025 has finalized the number of participating athletes at 152. This number of golfers is also suitable for the modern and international standard Tan Son Nhat golf course project - an ideal destination for domestic and international enthusiasts of this sport.
Golfers compete in a handicap-based stroke play format over an 18-hole round in three different divisions. The tournament champion has the lowest gross score at the end of the competition. Meanwhile, the winner of each division has the lowest net score after the tournament ends.
If the weather conditions are not suitable, golfers are required to stop playing and temporarily move to a safe area until the tournament can continue. In case a golfer cannot finish the round, the Organizing Committee will apply par + handicap (index) points for golfers with official handicaps from 0-36, and double bogey points for golfers without official handicaps.

Connecting the golf community
Participating in the competition since the first season as a pure athlete, actor - MC Binh Minh came to the 3rd "I love Vietnam" award this year in 2 roles: Golfer and ambassador. Having studied and practiced golf for nearly 10 years, this handsome former supermodel and actor is currently in charge of the role of "president" of G81 Golf Club and is very proud to have won many awards while competing in golf.
Binh Minh said he was honored and happy to accept the invitation to be an ambassador for the tournament of the Lao Dong Newspaper, confident that with his image and competitive ability, he would contribute to promoting the tournament as well as bringing success to the tournament. He prepared well both physically and mentally for this event with the determination to win at least one title at the tournament.
Binh Minh returns, many golfers also said they are ready to participate in the "I love Vietnam" Golf Tournament not only in the professional field but also to contribute to the social community service programs of Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper.
"It is the connection of the golf community with the social activities of the organizers that makes each of us understand and feel more civic consciousness when participating in sports competitions, contributing a small part to the community" - golfer Han Tan Quang shared.
He was happy to know that he was one of the golfers who had a third consecutive season with the tournament.
