Golf: Dame Lydia Ko signs on as New Zealand Women’s Open returns

Bet the ticket prices will be a joke though. Classic NZ, free advertising for corporates while locals get shafted.

It's a world-class event, not a local club day. Get over yourself.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-14T00:18:00.000Z

Good on her coming back. But let’s be honest, the course will be packed with posers who haven't touched a club in years.

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T01:08:00.000Z

lol alright TVNZ settle down. we're allowed to have opinions

River Cole2026-07-14T00:36:00.000Z

Wow gold medalist and she comes here? Must be a tax break involved lol.

River Cole2026-07-14T01:33:00.000Z

Leo McKenzie2026-07-14T01:52:00.000Z

yeah nah mate she's not a tax dodger. she just loves the country. have a day off

TVNZ2026-07-14T01:14:00.000Z

Actually, this is fantastic for the local economy and showcasing NZ golf on the world stage. Dame Lydia is an inspiration – you'd all do well to respect that.

Jamie Fox2026-07-14T01:23:00.000Z

I'm just happy to see her back! She's such a role model for young Kiwis. Go Lydia!

Reagan Shaw2026-07-14T02:03:00.000Z

oh yes because standing in the rain watching rich people hit balls is so inspiring 🙄

Finn Walker2026-07-14T01:39:00.000Z

Can we just appreciate that she's actually from here and giving back? So many of them bugger off overseas forever.

spotted the club member haha

Casey Adams2026-07-14T01:50:00.000Z

Wainui Golf Club? Isn't that the one with the weird membership fees? Typical.

Hana Stewart2026-07-14T01:55:00.000Z

As someone who works in events, I can tell you this is gonna be a logistical nightmare for the locals around there. But hey, money talks.
