Future Australian Open venue Peninsula Kingswood will be featured on the PGA Tour of Australasia schedule for the first time during the upcoming season.
Set to host the Australian Open late next year, Peninsula Kingswood will also stage January’s Players Series Victoria event.
Perth layout Secret Harbour will also be a PGA Tour of Australasia course for the first time when it stages October’s WA Open.
“We’re continuing to highlight some of Australasia’s outstanding golf facilities,” PGA of Australia general manager of tournaments and global tour relationships Nick Dastey said in revealing the entire 19-event PGA Tour of Australasia schedule that runs from this month to March next year.
“Joining us for the first time this season, Secret Harbour and Peninsula Kingswood are exceptional golf courses and will provide exciting new challenges for our members.”
The schedule will again be highlighted by the Australian PGA (November 26-29, The Lakes)
and the Australian Open (December 3-6, Kingston Heath), with both events to be co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour.
The Open field will again feature reigning Masters champion Rory McIlroy as well as Australian star Cameron Smith.
Another feature tournament will be the 100th staging of the Queensland PGA (November 19-22, Nudgee).
“Celebrating the 100th Queensland PGA Championship is a wonderful milestone for Australian golf,” Dastey said.
“The championship has played an important role in the history of our game and we’re excited to honour that legacy with a fitting celebration.”
Past winners of the Queensland PGA include Greg Norman, David Graham and Peter Senior.
