Michael Campbell, a prominent figure in the world of golf, and one of New Zealand’s most celebrated athletes, expressed his enthusiasm for joining forces with KiwiGolf.

In a statement, he says; “I am honoured to join KiwiGolf in their mission to bring the joy of golf to the children of New Zealand. Growing up, golf provided me with invaluable lessons and experiences, and I am excited to help create similar opportunities for the next generation.”

Michael Campbell is one of New Zealand’s most accomplished professional golfers, with numerous victories on the international stage, including the prestigious 2005 U.S. Open Championship.

A true ambassador for the sport, Michael brings a wealth of experience and passion for golf to his role with KiwiGolf, where he is dedicated to helping more New Zealand youngsters discover the many delights that the wonderful game of golf can bring.

As an ambassador for KiwiGolf, he aims to inspire more young New Zealanders to discover the sport, develop their skills, and forge lifelong memories on the course.
