The controversial secondary cut used at last year’s Australian Open has been dropped by organisers who are gearing up for another groundbreaking edition of staging the men’s and women’s events concurrently – this time in Sydney.
The 2023 event will feature the continuation of the joint tournament format that will allow fans to see some of the best men and women golfers playing for different titles on the same course at the same time.
Picture this Australian Open field next year: Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka and Rickie Fowler, among a host of other international stars inside the world’s Top-50 rankings.
