Course: Sweden

Purse: €50,000

Ozzies in the field: Hanee Song (NZ), Jordan O’Brien, Wenyung Keh (NZ)

Course: TPC River Highlands, Cromwell, CT

Purse: USD $20 million

Ozzies in the field: Jason Day, Min Woo Lee, Adam Scott, Ryan Fox (NZ)

Another signature event straight after a Major. With a big announcement due from the hierarchy about the future structure of the PGA Tour surely they must formalise the fact that there are now, in effect, two tours. Anyway the big boys get another chance to earn squillions while the also-rans (who are bloody good at golf) get another week off.

One of these weeks the numbers must come home and an Ozzie will win on this tour. Too many of them for it not to happen.
