The full schedule of the ISPS Handa PGA Tour of Australasia has been revealed, totalling 16 tournaments set to be played right across Australia and New Zealand.
This week’s Tailor-made Building Services NT PGA Championship is the 14th and final event of the season, a season that has taken courage, belief and hard work behind the scenes to bring to fruition.
To be fair, given the quality of golf courses available at The National Golf Club on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, there was no such thing as a poor choice.
The National PGA Classic has been added to the 2021-2022 season by the PGA of Australia as an important new playing opportunity after the cancellation of both the New Zealand Open and New Zealand PGA Championship.
The Webex Players Series was a highlight of the 2020-2021 and returns this year richer and with new additions in the Murray River and Hunter Valley regions.
The latest addition to the Webex Players Series will honour the memory of Jarrod Lyle and will be played less than an hour from his hometown of Shepparton.
The NT PGA will now take place from September 16-19 provided that the majority of professionals have the opportunity to travel to the Northern Territory to compete.
The innovative format will see 132 players tee it up on the Thursday with the top 50 and ties to make the 36-hole cut. After 54 holes, the top 24 will advance to the final round of matchplay on the Sunday.
As was the format earlier this year, the Legends course will host the first two rounds of the championship with the Peter Thomson-designed Open course – host to the 2003 and 2005 Australian Opens – to determine the champion over the final two rounds.
The ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia schedule will feature a two-week swing in Western Australia for the first time in six years following confirmation that the Nexus Risk Western Australian Open will return at Royal Fremantle Golf Club in October.
Palmerston Golf and Country Club will host the sixth edition of the much-loved ISPS Handa PGA Tour of Australasia championship when it returns to the top end from August 19-22.
