The New Zealand Open is the premier men's golf tournament in New Zealand. It has been a regular fixture on the PGA Tour of Australasia tournament schedule since the 1970s. The 2019 event was the 100th edition of the tournament.[1] Since 2014 it has been held as a pro-am in February or March.

Prize money for the 2020 event was NZ$1.4 million, with an additional NZ$50,000 for the pro-am; the tournament winner received NZ$252,000.[2] The reigning champion is Brendan Jones, who won the 2023 event; the 2021 and 2022 editions were cancelled due to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4]
