Paradise Beverages Fiji Limited will continue to be the official beer and spirit sponsor for the 2016 Fiji International.
As a Silver Sponsor of the tournament and Fiji’s leading beverages company, Paradise Beverages, will ensure celebrations at the Fiji International continue to hold a unique Fijian flavour this year with the floral and tropical aromas of Vonu Pure lager and wonderfully crafted Fiji Rum Co liqueurs.
VIP guests at the Fiji International will also enjoy Paradise Beverages’ sensational products in the corporate hospitality areas during the tournament, which will be played at Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course from 6-9 October.
Vonu Pure Lager, Fiji Bitter and Fiji’s number one selling beer Fiji Gold will all be available throughout the Fiji International, as will Fiji Rum Co products.
The event will be showcasing the latest signature cocktails, expertly crafted using the finest Fiji Rum Co rums including a special signature cocktail created specifically for the Fiji International.
The Fiji International is delighted to continue this strong alignment with Paradise Beverages, which has partnered with the tournament since 2014.
“Paradise Beverages was one of the first sponsors to align with our inaugural tournament in 2014. This multi-year extension is reflective of the successful relationship to date,” said Matt Porm, Commercial Manager of the Fiji International.
“Paradise Beverages truly is a fantastic partner to work with. The team’s hands on approach and genuine commitment to supporting Fiji`s biggest sporting event solidifies the company’s strong reputation as one of the region’s leading drinks companies.”
Paradise Beverages is proud to help display Fiji to the world via the Fiji International as well as highlighting their products globally.
“We’re excited to extend our support of the Fiji International and help showcase the best of Fiji to the 400 million households worldwide who tune in to the event’s global TV coverage and to our loyal local consumers,” said Tony Scanlan, General Manager of Paradise Beverages.
“The PGA is a great opportunity for us to showcase our globally award-winning rums by getting them in the hands of some of the sport’s leading personalities from around the world, and create exposure for our wonderful Fijian-made beverages.”
This announcement comes in the wake of American star Brandt Snedeker committing to headline the Fiji International.
An eight-time winner on the PGA TOUR, Snedeker is hungry to add another title to his resume after 2015 Fiji International champion Matt Kuchar lured him to Fiji with his positive endorsement.

About the Fiji International:
The Fiji International will be played at Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course from 6-9 October with tickets on sale shortly.
The inaugural Fiji International in 2014 signalled Fiji’s official arrival onto the global golfing stage, with the Fijian Government, Fiji Tourism and Fiji’s number one player, Vijay Singh, all making a push to put their country on the lucrative world golfing map.
In 2015, the Fiji International established a reputation amongst the world’s best golfers as a must-attend event for themselves and their families.
This year, the Fiji International will expand its global presence and confirm its position as an integral tournament in the South Pacific region.
The tournament also boasts some of the most unique hospitality options in world golf with the par-3 4th hole providing the perfect vantage point to watch the golf, whilst socialising on the beach.
More than just a golf tournament, the Fiji International aims to leave a lasting legacy for golf in the Pacific region, with the PGA of Australia supporting initiatives to introduce and grow the game in Fiji.
The Fiji International is proudly supported by InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa as the official resort of the tournament until 2017.
