Colombia has been part of the Latin America region of the official TPCi circuit for many years. It has hosted multiple major events, including Special Events and old-era National Championships. Colombia’s greatest VGC success is the fourth place achieved by Juan Naar in the online-era Players Cup II in 2020.
The most recent tournament held in Colombia was the 2024 Bogotá Special Event, played with the VGC Regulation Set G in May 2024. The finals saw Costa Rican Max Morales defeat fellow countryman Jean López to win his first major title!
