Jason Day returns to Queensland to contest the BMW Australian PGA Championship.
ESTABLISHED stars, a sprinkling of international talent and a crop of young guns ready to make their mark all adds up to an exciting summer of golf.
Jason Day is heading home to Queensland to play his first tournament on Australian soil since 2017 when he contests the BMW PGA Championship, where he will be joined by the likes of Cam Smith, Lucas Herbert, Marc Leishman and defending champ Min Woo Lee, before a stellar field is then set to assemble in Melbourne for the ISPS Handa Australian Open at the Kingston Heath and Victoria Golf Club’s.
Prior to competing in the two Aussie ‘majors’, Smith and Herbert will be in the field for the NSW Open at the Murray Downs Golf and Country Club, while Smith will also play the Queensland PGA to kick off his Australasian Tour season. Herbert has committed to compete at the Webex Players Series Murray River event at Cobram Barooga early in 2025.
“The support of players like Cam and Lucas for the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia is tremendous and will help to bring added attention to the amazing group of players contesting 19 events across the season,” PGA of Australia CEO Gavin Kirkman said.
South African Ashleigh Buhai and Chile’s Joaquin Niemann will also be in Melbourne to defend their Australian Open titles, with Hannah Green to headline the field at the women’s Open.
