Tour News - DJ Cyril confirmed to play final party hole at Mānuka Phuel Chasing the Fox in December - 29th October 2025
Presented by Mānuka Phuel
Mānuka Phuel Chasing the Fox returns for 2025, and the party just got a whole lot bigger with international DJ and producer CYRIL announced to perform at the final party hole, bringing his global hits and infectious energy to one of summer’s most unmissable sporting events. General admission tickets for the event are now on sale at chasingthefox.flicket.co.nz
Aussie-born artist CYRIL is behind some of the hottest records from the past couple years, “Stumblin’ In” remix of Grammy-nominated artist Disturbed’s “Sound of Silence”, and Paramore’s “Still Into You” - CYRIL has taken the world by storm. His viral breakout “Stumblin’ In” first exploded on TikTok before dominating airwaves and streaming charts worldwide. CYRIL has continued to top charts and feature on iconic festival lineups worldwide.
“Mānuka Phuel Chasing the Fox is such a cool concept, I’m pumped to be part of it - especially as a golf fan myself I can’t wait to play for the Kiwi crowd who know how to party,” says CYRIL.
“We’re stoked to have CYRIL joining us at Mānuka Phuel Chasing the Fox this year. He’s the perfect fit to bring even more energy to the final party hole. We’re blending sport with world-class entertainment, and CYRIL will help make this year’s event our biggest yet,” says Event Director Nick Randell.
“Partnering with Chasing the Fox is a natural fit, as it’s a sport event that’s just as much about performance as it is about entertainment. We’re thrilled to bring CYRIL to the final party hole,” adds Alex McDonald, Mānuka Phuel.
Taking place on Friday 12th December at Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club, Mānuka Phuel Chasing the Fox blends elite sport with music, culture, and entertainment, connecting new and loyal audiences to the sport and redefining how golf can be experienced. Mānuka Phuel Chasing the Fox is a six-hole showdown - Ryan Fox & soon to be announced friend vs the best of the rest. A unique field made up of the top players from our leading sporting teams and the media, who get an edge by playing in groups of three - taking on the Fox at his own game, on his own course. The lowest score wins, and if there’s a tie, it all comes down to a dramatic playoff on the final party hole.
Teams announced to take on The Fox & Friends include Team Media; Jeremy Wells, Dai Henwood and Bryce Casey, the current reigning champions returning to defend their crown, Team Voke; Professional Golfer Nick Voke and NZ’s Biggest Golf Content Creator on YouTube Taco Golf, Team Wahs; with Shaun Johnson, Channel Harris Tavita, and Wayde Egan, and the most recently announced Team Campbell; LIV Golf’s own Ben Campbell & The Sling King Mac Boucher. More teams are still to be announced.
Each team will be playing for prize money that goes directly to their chosen charity, ensuring that the energy on the green delivers a meaningful impact off the course.
The call is clear: step up, join the chase, and take your shot at The Fox. This year’s event will be broadcast live and free across TVNZ 1 & TVNZ+, with coverage of all the action from the final party hole.
Mānuka Phuel Chasing the Fox & Friends delivers world-class competition, a celebration of sports and entertainment and the most unmissable summer showdown at one of the standout fixtures in New Zealand’s sporting calendar. Corporate tickets and general release tickets are on sale now from chasingthefox.co.nz
