Collection: Australian Open Golf

In a world-first for golf, the Men’s Australian Open and the Women’s Australian Open are joining forces.   The marquee events will be played at the same time and at the same venues, with the event to be held on the world-famous Melbourne Sandbelt from December 1-4.

 Victoria Golf Club is the primary host venue across all four days of the tournament and Kingston Heath Golf Club is set to host play on the first two days. 

 The men’s event will headline the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia, while the women’s event will be sanctioned by the WPGA Tour of Australasia.

 In another first for the Australian Open, the men’s event will also be sanctioned on the DP World Tour, putting Australian golf on the world stage for two consecutive weeks with Fortinet Australian PGA Championship to be staged at Royal Queensland the week prior.

 Field sizes of 144 men and 144 women will compete for an equal split of the minimum $3.4 million prizemoney on offer.

 This year’s Australian Open will also feature the third edition of the Australian All Abilities Championship, which assembles the top 12 players on the World Ranking for Golfers with Disability (WR4GD) from across the world supported by global partners EDGA, the International Golf Federation and newly formed G4D Tour.
