What's On This Week

What's on This Week - Week 46

Phillip Gibson

The season finale for the DP World Tour. Penultimate tournaments on the LPGA and LETAS and the start of a great month of golf in Oz with the Ford NSW Open.

What's on This Week - Week 46

DP World Tour

Tournament: DP World Tour Championship

Dates: 12-15 November

Course: Jumeirah Golf Estate, Earth Course, Dubai, UAE

Purse: USD $

Ozzies in the field: Dan Hillier (NZ), Ryan Fox (NZ), Adam Scott

The real interest here is who is going to win the Race to Dubai. Spaniard Eugenio Chacarra has about 500 points over Rory McIlroy and Patrick Reed is about another 200 points back.

The other race is who finishes in the top 10 in the Race TO Dubai (who are not already exempt to the PGA Tour). Those players will get PGA Tour cards. Kiwi Dan Hillier looks pretty safe so hoping he gets the job done and can join Foxy in the USA next year.

LPGA

Tournament: The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican

Dates: 12-15 November

Course: Pelican Golf Club, Belleair, FL

Purse: USD $3.25M

Ozzies in the field: Grace Kim, Cassie Porter, Robyn Choi, Karis Davidson

The LPGA returns to American soil so Nelly Korda is playing. For the Ozzies, Robyn Choi and Karis Davidson need good weeks to get into the season ending CME Group Tour Championship next week.

LETAS

Tournament: Satander Golf Tour - Girona

Dates: 12-14 November

Course: Emporta Golf Club

Purse: €45,000

Ozzies in the field: Kristalle Blum, Hannah Reeves

Hannaha Reeves has plenty to play for this week and next. Two tournaments left to go from 11th into the top 7 of the OOM. That would get her automatic promotion to the LET and avoid Q School.

PGA Tour of Australasia

Tournament: Ford NSW Open

Dates: 12-15 November

Course: The Vintage

Purse: AUD $800,000

Ozzies in the field: LOTS

The big name this week is ex-LIV player Lucas Herbert. He won this event in 2024 and returns in good form. The rest of the field is the cream of the Ozzie Tour and there are plenty of potential winners. Nathan Barbieri came close to winning last season. His form hasn’t been up to that form this year so hopefully he an turn it around this week.

PGA Tour

Tournament: Austin Championship presented by Compliance Solutions

Dates: 12-15 November

Course: Fazio Canyons Course

Purse: USD $6.0M

Ozzies in the field: Cam Davis, Karl Vilips

This is the penultimate tournament of the PGA Tour fall series. Cam Davis needs a win to avoid Q School.

PGA Champions Tour

Tournament: Charles Schwab Cup Championship

Dates: 12-15 November

Course: Phoenix Country Club

Purse: USD $3.0M

Ozzies in the field: Steve Allan, Steve Alker (NZ), Richard Green, Scott Hend, Cam Percy, Michael Wright

The season finale for the old guys in the USA. We have not had an Ozzie win all year so now would be a good time to bring it home. Stewart Cink, Zach Johnson and Steve Alker have all won multiple times this season and are the ones to beat.

Asian Tour

Tournament: Philippine Open presented by Philippine Sports Commission

Dates: 12-15 November

Course: The Manila Southwoods G & CC (Masters Course)

Purse: USD $1.0M

Ozzies in the field: Jed Morgan, Cory Crawford, Justin Warren, Nick Voke (NZ), Harrison Crowe, Jack Thompson, Travis Smyth, Brett Rankin, Chris Wood, Denzel Ieremia )NZ)

This is the last tournament of the Asian Tour season and all interest for Ozzies is whether Travis Smyth can catch Pavit Tangkamolprasert in the race to win the OOM. Smyth is in second place about 200 points behind Tangkamolprasert.

Sunshine Tour

Tournament: The Hyundai Open

Dates: 12-15 November

Course: Ebotse Links

Purse: R500,000

Ozzies in the field: NIL

Whilst Austin Bautista is not playing this week, we will keep an eye on this Tour as he is currently second on the OOM. Bautista is playing the Ford NSW Open this week after being in Spain for DP World Tour final qualifying last week.

Japan Tour

Tournament: Mitsui Sumitomo VISA Taiheiyo Masters 2026

Dates: 12-15 November

Course: Taiheiyo Club Gotemba Course
