\u201cI\u2019ve been lucky to spend a lot of time playing in Australia, and the support I get there means a lot. This event is all about showing golf in a new light \u2013 fun, fast and competitive \u2013 and having Fox Sports come on board helps us share that energy with even more fans,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Fox has had his greatest year in professional golf, winning twice on the PGA Tour with his Canadian Open victory<\/a> securing his PGA Tour card until the end of 2028 and spots in three of the four majors next year.<\/p>\n

His rise up the world rankings, the growth of popularity in golf and the huge success of last year\u2019s event has seen Chasing the Fox already surpass ticket sales from last year\u2019s event, just two weeks after going on sale.<\/p>\n

Tickets went on sale at the end of last month, with the first release of GA tickets and corporate boxes selling out. Capacity has been extended for this year\u2019s event and the second release of GA tickets are available as well as tickets to the Amex VIP lounge and the Fox Club.<\/p>\n

Fox is expected to name his teammate in the coming weeks for the new format. For the past three years, the PGA Tour winner has played the six-hole tournament on his own. While he played well in the first edition, it became clear that winning was a huge task for an individual playing in such a format.<\/p>\n

Now, when the M\u0101nuka Phuel Chasing The Fox<\/a> event returns to Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club<\/a> next month, Fox won\u2019t be the only one the field are chasing.<\/p>\n

Fox will be joined by another international golfer for the tournament,<\/a> while spots in the field previously reserved for other individual golfers will also become teams of two.<\/p>\n

Fox will also be putting up $20k to the charity of choice to the winning team, if they can upstage the World No 38 and his pro partner.<\/p>\n

The full field will be revealed in the coming weeks with the latest names including social media golfers Mac Boucher <\/a>and Luke Kwon, who last week was the most searched golfer. Canadian Boucher will team up with Ben Campbell, who plays on the LIV Golf Tour while Kwon is paired with Kiwi DP World Tour star Kazuma Kobori.<\/p>\n
