They had an invitational at Remuera earlier in the year. I think that was the first in NZ.

Not sure you are aware that prior to Acushnet ANZ delivering Team Titleist Invitational events starting from 2023 for the ANZ community there was only 1 event, which was held in SE Queensland in 2018.
The TT ANZ community has been very fortunate to have 5 events in both 2023 and 2024, which NZ had an event at the start of 2024.

It is important to note that TTI events are exclusive limited field events!

TT events in Oz and NZ are incredible and worth exploring! Stay tuned for more announcements comings in future months for 2025!
