 2012 EVENT:

The 2012 ISPS Handa New Zealand Women's Open was held 17 - 19 February at the Pegasus Golf Club near Christchurch.

The 2012 event saw a new title sponsor come on board, the International Sports Promotion Society which ensured the New Zealand Women's Open kept its co-sanctioned status on the Ladies European Tour (LET) and the Australian Ladies Professional Golf (ALPG) Tours.

The 2012 event attracted a great field with the timing of the event directly after the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open and RACV Gold Coast Australian Ladies Masters.

HISTORY:

2009 was an exciting year for womens golf in this country when the first New Zealand Womens Open was played at Clearwater Golf Club.

The inaugural winner was ladies European Tour star Gwladys Nocera.  In the following year, one of the all-time greats Laura Davies added our national championship to her long list of success.

The four events to date have attracted quality fields out of Australia and Europe and provided a platform for the likes of the world’s leading amateur Lydia Ko to measure her game and continue her growth as a world class player.
