Golf’s world number 16, Matt Kuchar has signed on to compete in the Fiji International in Sigatoka next month.

PGA Australia Commercial Manager, Stephen Ayles says the American is a seven-time winner on the PGA tour and is certain that Kuchar’s involvement will lure more world-class players to the prestigious event.

“He’s the first of our top 20 players for this event which is great news. Basically, he takes the event to a new level. We will over the next month announce further players as well.”

The Fiji International will be held at the Natadola Bay Championship course in Sigatoka on October 15th to the 18th.
