New Zealand Golf has made an historic announcement about the women's Open. It'll be played at the Windross Farm course in south Auckland and be known as the McKayson New Zealand Women's Open. I want to see golf grow in New Zealand and more women playing the game, so this news today is fantastic." It's the biggest announcement in the sport in New Zealand since Tiger Woods played the national men's open in 2002. "New Zealand Golf is thrilled with the boost for golf and the golf industry in this country and for the women's game in particular," said New Zealand Golf CEO, Dean Murphy.
