The Spalding Masters was a golf tournament held in New Zealand from 1968 to 1972. The event was generally hosted by Tauranga Golf Club in Tauranga, although the 1968 event was held at the nearby Mount Manganui Golf Club. The tournament was held in early January, although the 1972 event started on 30 December 1971.

From 1969 the tournament was part of the New Zealand golf circuit. Bob Charles won the event twice. His 1969 total of 260 tied Kel Nagle for the lowest 72-hole score ever in a tournament played outside of the United States.
