Rory McIlroy the jewel in Australian golf’s bumper summer

The 2026-27 Australian golf season is set, with organisers chasing a Bryson DeChambeau appearance at the Australian PGA Championship at The Lakes and Rory McIlroy expected to draw huge crowds at the Australian Open, this time at Kingston Heath. The 19-tournament schedule also features the centenary Queensland PGA Championship and two new venues joining the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia.

This month’s second iteration of the Sandbelt Invitational aims to build on the foundations laid last December.

Full fun factor

Golf’s ‘fun quotient’ has never been ramped up as high as it is at these innovative facilities.
