If 2026 was the year the women’s Australian Open and WPGA Championship found their footing again as standalone events, 2027 is shaping up as the year Australian women’s golf builds on that momentum. With a genuinely exciting summer calendar taking shape, here’s your roadmap to the season ahead, who to watch, where to find them and why it’s the season worth showing up for.
The 2027 women’s Australian Open will be played from March 11-14 at Royal Adelaide Golf Club, which will host the national championship for the fourth time, after 1994, 2017 and 2020. The winners in those years were Sweden’s Annika Sörenstam, South Korea’s Ha Na Jang and Inbee Park. The club, founded in 1892, has also hosted the men’s Australian Open nine times.
The 2027 event follows a successful 2026 edition at Kooyonga Golf Club, the start of a three-year partnership with the South Australian Government.
The champion everyone is chasing
Defending champion Hannah Green arrives having won the 2026 women’s Australian Open and the Australian WPGA Championship, both within weeks of her seventh LPGA Tour victory at the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore.
At Kooyonga, Green started the final round with a one-shot lead. Cassie Porter, who began the day nine shots behind, shot a course-record 62 to set the clubhouse target at 10-under. Agathe Laisné, who had won the NSW Open a fortnight earlier, also finished at 10-under. Green birdied the 16th hole, bogeyed the 17th and made par at the last to win by one stroke at 11-under with a closing 70.
She became the first Australian to win the national championship since 2014. Her name now sits on the Patricia Bridges Bowl alongside Karrie Webb, Jan Stephenson and Jane Crafter.
The Gold Coast
The Australian WPGA Championship returns to the Palms course at Sanctuary Cove Golf & Country Club from March 4-7, alongside the Festival of Golf.
The two Ladies European Tour co-sanctioned events from 2026 are yet to confirm their 2027 dates and venues:
- Ford Women’s NSW Open: Dates and venue to be confirmed. Laisné won the 2026 title at Wollongong Golf Club.
- Australian Women’s Classic: Dates and venue to be confirmed at the time of going to print. Kelsey Bennett won the 2026 title at Magenta Shores.
