“Gallagher Insurance and the sport of golf both embody the values of integrity, perseverance and achievement. We are excited to contribute to the growth of this event that engages with the local region and much of New Zealand.”

New Zealand Open Chairman John Hart is delighted to welcome Gallagher Insurance’s increased support for the tournament and wanted to express his thanks to Carl and the team for their ongoing commitment.

“Having a sponsor agree to step up to the next level shows we are having the right impact nationally and internationally,” said Hart.
