Players at Craigs Investment Partners Tauranga Charity Golf Day on November 20 may end up with more than they bargained for.

Four lucky players will have the opportunity to win the ‘Craigs Investment Partners - Road to the Open’ competition, which will see a money can’t buy Pro-Am spot in the New Zealand Open up for grabs.

Four players from the Craigs Investment Partners Tauranga Charity Golf Day will be entered into a draw for a chance to win one of two major prizes at the 2024 New Zealand Open: Entry in the Pro-Am Division (open to players with a handicap of 20 or less); or Experience the New Zealand Open.

Both prizes include travel, accommodation, and hosting in the Champions Lounge for four days.

The Tauranga Charity Golf Day is an annual event hosted by Craigs Investment Partners in partnership with Te Puke Golf Club, with funds raised going directly to the Craigs Community Fund.

“Craigs is passionate about supporting our local communities through the Craigs Community Fund, which was established to enable sustainable and continuous giving to local charities well into the future.

“We’ve chosen the fun and forgiving ambrose format. With spot prizes, refreshments and the opportunity for a spot at the NZO on offer, the day is set to be a golfer’s dream,” says Craigs Investment Partners general manager Hayley Nelson.

Earlier this month, Craigs Investment Partners announced its partnership with the New Zealand Open. Tournament chairman John Hart is delighted to have another Kiwi-based company supporting the event.

"It’s great to have another successful local New Zealand business on board and supporting the New Zealand Open. Their commitment to helping Kiwis achieve success and local community focus aligns perfectly with the values of our tournament,” says John.

“We’re very much looking forward to working with the team at Craigs Investment Partners to develop a successful partnership together."

Craigs Investment Partners are equally excited about the opportunity that the New Zealand Open provides.

"Supporting a world-class sporting event like the New Zealand Open which, like us, brings a global perspective into Kiwi homes, is a perfect alignment. We’re looking forward to supporting the golfing community and local communities around New Zealand," says Jeremy Williamson, Craigs Investment Partners Head of Private Wealth and Markets.

“Our 19 local branches nationwide all have a strong connection to supporting charities and the communities they serve, and golf raises more money for charities in New Zealand than any other sport, so it makes sense for Craigs Investment Partners to grow our involvement with New Zealand’s most played sport and help us connect with communities, our clients and further enhance our charitable endeavours.

“We’re proud to be a part of this prestigious event and look forward to working closely with tournament organisers to make this year's event truly exceptional,” says Jeremy.

Craigs Investment Partners also want to recognise and support up and coming young Kiwi golfers in their journey to the top; details of an additional support programme will be announced soon.

Craigs Investment Partners is one of New Zealand's leading investment advisory firms. Celebrating their 40th anniversary in 2024, Craigs Investment Partners have 19 branches across the country and pride themselves on their strong presence in the local communities they serve.

Craigs Investment Partners, a trusted name in New Zealand's financial industry, understand that everyone’s journey to success is different and with their experience, local knowledge, award-winning research and personal approach, build true partnerships with their clients.
