LANG CO, Vietnam (April 9, 2025) — Asia’s top junior golfers will be aiming to follow in illustrious footsteps next month as the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final returns to Laguna Golf Lang Co for the 16th time.
Regarded as the world’s premier junior golf circuit, the Faldo Series has helped launch the careers of notable names including major winners Rory McIlroy, Danny Willet and Yani Tseng, as well as other familiar names including Tyrell Hatton, Joaquin Niemann, Eddie Pepperell, Li Haotong, Mel Reid, Carly Booth, and Nasa Hataoka.
And the brightest young talents from across the region will battle it out over the Sir Nick Faldo Signature course at Laguna Lang Co from April 22-25, 2025, with dreams of following in the footsteps of past champions and reaching the pinnacle of the game.
“The Faldo Series has always been about providing young golfers with the opportunity to compete at an elite level and learn the skills needed to succeed in the professional game,” said Sir Nick Faldo. “Laguna Golf Lang Co is the perfect venue for the Grand Final, offering a championship-calibre course in a stunning location. We’ve seen so many talented young players emerge from this event, and I have no doubt this year’s field will be stronger than ever.”
One player who knows exactly what it takes to win at Laguna Golf Lang Co is last year’s champion, Nguyen Duc Son. The 18-year-old Vietnamese star triumphed in the 2024 edition of the tournament with impressive rounds of 70, 69, and 69, finishing at -5. Since then, he has been pursuing a career in golf in Australia, studying in Melbourne while continuing his development as a player.
Son’s story is a testament to the growing impact of the Faldo Series in Vietnam, demonstrating how the event provides a pathway for young players to gain international exposure and take the next step in their careers. His success underscores the role of Laguna Golf Lang Co in fostering golf’s next generation, particularly in a country where the sport is rapidly developing.
Beyond hosting world-class competitions, Laguna Golf Lang Co continues to enhance its reputation as one of Asia’s premier golf and lifestyle destinations. Sandwiched between the East Sea and the forested foothills of the Annamite Mountains, the resort offers championship golf alongside luxury accommodations, wellness experiences, and cultural attractions. With immaculate course conditions and a layout designed to challenge and inspire, the Sir Nick Faldo Signature course is a fitting stage for Asia’s future golf stars.
This year’s event will once again reinforce Vietnam’s emergence as a key player in the global golf landscape. That’s a reputation that is being enhanced by efforts such as the Vietnam Golf Coast (VGC), a destination marketing drive involving some of the region’s signature clubs.
“We are incredibly proud to host the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final once again,” said Stephen Banks, Director of Golf at Laguna Golf Lang Co. “This event not only highlights the incredible talent emerging from Asia but also showcases our course and resort to a global audience. We are committed to supporting young golfers on their journey and look forward to welcoming players, families, and fans for what promises to be a fantastic tournament.”
