Prestige Hino Proudly Represented at the 2026 Hino Tenkaichi Trophy National Finals
The 2026 Hino Tenkaichi Trophy National Finals brought together Hino dealer teams and valued customers across NSW, VIC and QLD for several unforgettable days of competition, camaraderie and celebration in Brisbane.
Hosted at the world-class InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort and The Pines Golf Course, this year’s event once again proved why the Tenkaichi Trophy National Finals, was an anticipated event on the Hino calendar.
Bringing together 15 Teams (64 players), the festivities began with interstate teams arriving at Sanctuary Cove ahead of a relaxed welcome evening on the lagoon beach, where players, customers and dealer teams had the chance to reconnect before competition officially commenced. Guests were welcomed by Hino Australia President & CEO Richard Emery, who reflected on the importance of the Tenkaichi event in bringing together the wider Hino network through teamwork, partnership and shared experiences both on and off the course.
Competition day delivered perfect conditions at The Pines, with teams taking to the fairways for an 8am shotgun start following morning registrations and practice rounds. Throughout the day, players showcased impressive skill, precision and teamwork, with plenty of memorable shots, some good laughs and competitive moments across the course.
One of the standout highlights of the event was the special “Beat the Pro” challenge featuring former professional golfer Nick O’Hearn. Players had the opportunity to go head-to-head with the golfing great by attempting to beat or finish closest to his drive distance plus a great Q&A session with Nick at the Gala Dinner as Nick relayed highlights from his career and invaluable advice for any golfer, new or seasoned.
Congratulations to our individual awards, going to Ross Hoskings and Steve Mitreski
