Australian PGA Championship tee times, TV Coverage, prize money as Smith heads field

Alex Livie

One season ends and another one begins, as the Australian PGA Championship kicks off a new campaign on the DP World Tour.

Those two big beasts of European and world golf will not be in action at Royal Queensland Golf Club, and it will be the stars of the Antipodes who will be front and centre.

That is not to say Europe will not be represented, and two rising stars will be teeing it up in the shape of Rasmus Hojgaard and his twin brother Nicolai.

But the focus will be on the home contingent, and Cameron Smith in particular.

Smith is a box-office golfer, and having won the Open Championship earlier in the year he made the leap to LIV Golf.

He said part of his thinking behind his decision was to enable him to tailor his schedule to allow him to play more events on home soil. This is his first opportunity, and it’s in his home state of Queensland. And as a two-time winner of the event, albeit on a different course, he will fancy his chances.

The Course: Royal Queensland Golf Club

Australia has a bunch of spectacular golf courses, and Royal Queensland is towards the top.

It dates back to 1920, and was given Royal Charter the following year by King George V.

Alister MacKenzie did some remedial work in the late 1920s, while the current championship track was revamped by Michael Clayton and opened in 2007.

Clayton made a conscious decision to not have high rough, and with wide fairways and landing areas those who are long off the tee have a distinct advantage.

Bunkers are one of the course’s primary defences, and some are extremely penal, while wind could play a part as the way it was set up dictates certain lines off tees could be impossible depending on strength of wind and direction.

Prize Money: AUD$2.4 million (£1.34 million), with the winner’s share being AUD$360,000 (£200,000)

Format: 72-hole strokeplay

  • 18 holes: 63 – Jediah Morgan (2022)
