The New Zealand Golf Circuit was an annual series of professional tournaments held in New Zealand between 1963 and early 1980.
[1] In its first season it was held in late August and September but from 1964 it was moved to a later date, generally starting in mid-November.
[1][2] Initially the New Zealand PGA Championship, was not included in the circuit but from 1968-69 it was added, together with the Spalding Masters, extending the circuit into January.
[3] The circuit enjoyed considerable success for a number of years, but by 1979–80 it had been reduced to just three events.
[4] From 1980 the New Zealand events were incorporated into the PGA Tour of Australia schedule and a combined Order of Merit was produced.
