Join us for the industry event of the year: golf, gala dinner, generous food & wine, alongside great company… All for a fantastic cause.

The S&P/NZX Charity Golf Classic is New Zealand’s largest charity golf classic, with the series having raised more than $1 million for New Zealand children’s charities over the past 34 years. Alongside the team at S&P Dow Jones Indices, we look forward to bringing together market participants to play on one of New Zealand’s most premium golf courses, Wairakei Golf + Sanctuary, while raising money for a worthy charity. Make sure to be part of the action, with this year’s NZFM Charity Golf Classic being held over the weekend of 26 – 28 September 2025 and will host 120 golfers.

Variety

We're excited to announce a new charity sponsor from this year, Variety - The Children's Charity.

Every day, 1 in 8 Kiwi kids go without the basics that most of us take for granted. This has a profound effect on their health, education and self-esteem.

Variety believe that every child deserves the same opportunities to reach their full potential. They provide tailored, flexible support to children living in material deprivation in New Zealand. They work alongside schools, community agencies, social workers and healthcare professionals to identify children who need support.

Variety's generous supporters enable them to provide children living in material deprivation with basic essentials (such as warm bedding and school uniforms), one-off grants for additional needs (such as medical and mobility equipment) and access to extra-curricular activities (such as school camp or swimming lessons).

With our support, they have access to the same opportunities as other kids, a happier, healthier childhood and the foundation for a better future.

Variety is a registered charity with the New Zealand Charities Commission (CC24039).

Incentives to diversify your Team

We strongly encourage a diversity of gender and skill when deciding your teams. To help encourage more female golfers and golfers with unofficial handicaps, the below incentives will be included at this year’s S&P/NZX Charity Golf Classic:

• A significant Team Prize (yet to be announced) will be awarded to the team with the highest combined Stableford score. Five extra points will be added to this score for each female golfer in the Team (e.g. Two women = 10 extra points).
• The Green Jackets (Mike Robson Cup and Women’s Challenge Cup) will be awarded to the lowest gross score of the day for both men and women respectively
• Additional prizes for women and men of varying handicaps will be up for grabs throughout the course e.g longest drive, closest to the pin
