The Fiji International continues to lure the world’s
best Professionals as a bevy of world renowned players join the field for
Fiji’s biggest sporting event.

America’s Heath
Slocum, India’s Jeev Milkha Singh and Australian Professionals Robert Allenby,
Jarrod Lyle, Peter Lonard, Peter O’Malley, Aron Price and Steven Jeffress are
all headed to Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course for next month’s Fiji
International.

"It’s been really
exciting to see the support from the players. Each year we’re receiving more
and more interest from world ranked Professionals keen to get a start in the
Fiji International," said Brian Thorburn, CEO of the PGA of Australia.

"Those players who
are returning are doing so because they’ve had a great experience, not just a
great golfing experience but a great cultural experience thanks to the warm and
friendly nature of the local Fijian community."

"The Fijian
community has played a huge role in showcasing their country to visiting
Professionals and this has contributed significantly to the growth and success
of the tournament."

Slocum, a
four-time PGA TOUR winner which includes a victory at The Barclays, will be making
his first appearance in Fiji. Slocum’s appearance is a huge win for the
tournament and joins the field with seven professional wins under his belt.

As the first
Indian Professional to join the European Tour and a former member of the PGA
TOUR, Singh comes to Fiji with 20 Professional victories to his name. A current
player on the European and Asian Tours, Singh has had significant success
around the world and is a two-time winner of the Asian Tour’s Order of Merit.

Allenby, a PGA
TOUR regular, is also making his first appearance at the Fiji International. Since
turning professional in 1992, Allenby has played on a number of world tours
notching up 22 victories and he continues to be a steadfast supporter of
tournaments on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia.

Lyle will also be
joining the Australian contingent and comes to Fiji after playing for a number
of years on both the PGA TOUR and Web.com Tour, where he secured two victories.
At age 17, Lyle was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, which also
reoccurred in 2012. After his second remission, Lyle has made a comeback and
continues to tee it up on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia.

Lonard is a
seasoned competitor around the world having played on the PGA TOUR and European
Tour for a number of years. Lonard will be making his first trip to the Fiji
International after playing tournaments on the Web.com Tour this season with
his best finish coming at the BMW Charity Pro-Am where he finished T16.

O’Malley, a
veteran Professional, will be making his third appearance in the Pacific. Having
spent much of his career playing on the European Tour, in which he is a
three-time winner, he continues to tee it up on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of
Australasia. With eight Professional wins to his name, O’Malley has spent much
of this season playing the European Seniors Tour with his best finish coming at
the Willow Senior Golf Classic where he finished T7.

Price, who has
played on the PGA TOUR and Web.com Tour, was the runner up at last year’s
tournament. After firing a final round of 1-under 71 to finish on even par, Price
will be looking to go one better this year on his quest to secure a victory in
the Pacific. Earlier this year Price qualified for the US Open in what was
his second Major Championship appearance.

Jeffress, the 2014
champion, will be looking to relive the magic he created
when he won the inaugural tournament two years ago. Natadola Bay Championship
Golf Course holds good memories for Jeffress and he’ll be aiming to climb the
leaderboard this year after a top-20 finish in 2015.

These players will
join previously announced Vijay Singh, Brandt Snedeker, Steven Bowditch and Boo
Weekley at the Fiji International from 6-9 October at the Natadola Bay
Championship Golf Course.
