After a three year absence the New Zealand Golf Open is back with record prize money up for grabs.
The tournament at Millbrook Resort in Arrowtown has a field of 156 professionals and 156 amateurs - the most amateurs to play in the 102-year history of the event.
Tournament favourite Steve Alker is aiming to be the first New Zealander to win the Open since Michael Hendry in 2017.
