After a three-year gap, the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship returns to the DP World Tour schedule as part of its strategic alliance with the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia, which runs until 2026.
The tournament takes place at Royal Queensland Golf Club in Brisbane with a 156-man field. It was last held at the same venue in January (as an ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia tournament) when Jediah Morgan picked up his only career win to date. He did it in some style, too, cruising to victory over fellow Australian Andrew Dodt by 11 shots. Morgan returns this week hoping for a repeat performance.
The last time the event was part of the DP World Tour schedule (then named the European Tour) was in 2019, when another Australian, former World No.1 Adam Scott, won it for the second time following his first victory in the tournament in 2013. Scott has recently reunited with former caddie Steve Williams as he bids to recover his best form. This week’s tournament marks the first with the pair working together again, and he will be confident of putting in a strong performance as he goes for a hat-trick of wins.
Another player with two wins in the tournament is World No.3 Cameron Smith. The Australian won it in back-to-back years in 2017 and 2018, and the LIV Golf player will be the favourite to lift the trophy again this year. New Zealander Ryan Fox finished runner-up to Rory McIlroy in the 2022 Race to Dubai standings after last week’s DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, and the World No.27 will be hoping to put that disappointment behind him with a solid start to the 2023 season.
Another LIV Golf player in the field this week is Marc Leishman. Leishman has yet to win in his home country, and he has admitted that is a situation he is keen to rectify this week. Other players to look out for include Danish twins Nicolai and Rasmus Højgaard, while 2011 and 2014 winner Greg Chalmers also appears. Players are competing for a purse of AU$2 million (approximately £1.1m or $1.34m).
