New Zealand Golf said the event, co-sanctioned by the Australasian and US secondary tours, would be held at the private Hills course near Arrowtown from January 28-31.

"Over many years we have found that January has always proved the most popular with golf fans and the sporting public," NZG chief executive Bill MacGowan said.
