Lang Co, Vietnam, July 30 2015 – Sir Nick Faldo, newly-appointed as brand ambassador for Laguna Lang Co in Central Vietnam, is partnering with the acclaimed golf resort in a series of new amateur golf tournaments, including the inaugural Laguna Golf Classic in November.
As home to a championship course designed by the six-time Major winner, which he opened in 2012, Sir Nick will host the second leg of the event at Laguna Lang Co Golf Club, from November 12-14. The first leg of the tournament will be at Laguna Phuket Golf Club, from September 17-19.
Participants will play two rounds at each course, with the overall winner receiving hotel, golf and spa entitlements with the Banyan Tree Group valued at more than $US15,000.
Further confirming Laguna Lang Co’s growing stature as a world-class golf destination, the 11th Faldo Asia Series Grand Final tournament for young golfers will be held at the course in March 2017.
The Faldo Series, which began in 1996, is played in 30 countries in Europe, North and South America, the Middle East and Asia and is open to boys and girls in age divisions from 12 to 21. More than 7,000 golfers benefit from the programme each year. Past winners include Major champions Rory McIlroy and Yani Tseng, plus several other Asian and European Tour winners.
In his capacity as brand ambassador for Laguna Lang Co, Sir Nick represented the resort when he played his final Open Championship at St Andrews earlier this month and again last week at the British Senior Open, played at Sunningdale, England.
Sir Nick had 41 professional wins in his career, including 30 on the European Tour, the fifth highest of all time.

Andrew Latus - Recent trip to Phuket, everything organised by Golfasian, except flights. 3 courses in 3 days, all went without a hitch, from Pick up at Airport straight to the 1st course with plenty of time to spare till our Tee off thanks to their timely pick up and suggested Tee time. All on ground from then on went like clockwork, pick up at hotels, drop off at the courses and then back to the hotel. All the courses were expecting us and were well prepared, which made things extremely easy. Well organised, on time and stress free...what more can you wish for?
