Central Art, Aboriginal Art Store, was a major sponsor of the Indigenous Golf Championships, held at the Alice Springs Golf Club in Alice Springs, from October 9 to October 12.

The Indigenous Golf Championships are in their eighth year and in 2007 are hosted for the first time in Alice Springs. Golfers from around the world participate in the Championships, with golfers from America, Canada, New Zealand, Fiji and Samoa competing, with about 70 golfers in total entering.

The Aborginal Art Store displayed a sign at the tournament as well as providing caps for the competitors.

Steve Thompson from Queensland claimed the Australian Indigenous Golf Championship by one stroke from Renton Ritchie. The temperatues were high and the winds strong for most of the competition, but Thompson was able to shoot 10 over to claim victory.
