The Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship (AAC), which grants its winner berths to the Masters and The Open, will be held in Vietnam in 2027.

The Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation (APGC), Augusta National Golf Club, and The R&A announced the host locations for the 2027 and 2028 championships during an official press conference held on the 29th at Te Arai Links in Auckland, New Zealand.

The 2027 tournament will take place at Hoiana Shores Golf Club in Hoi An, Vietnam, from October 28 to 31, while the 2028 tournament will be held at New South Wales Golf Club in Sydney, Australia, from November 2 to 5.

This will mark the first time the tournament is held in Vietnam, and the third time for Australia, following 2014 and 2023.

Launched in 2009, the winner of the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship earns qualification to compete in the following year's Masters and The Open.

Players such as 2021 Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama of Japan and this year's Open champion Ryan Fox of New Zealand have previously competed in the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship.
