What's on This Week - Week 7

WEEK 7 – WHAT’S ON THIS WEEK

Week 7 – The party bus rolls in to Adelaide with LIV Golf aboard and the LET tees off their season at the same course as LIV Did last week. Synchronicity? The PGA Tour returns to the iconic Pebble Beach and down under there is a bit of a lull until the men start the New Zealand swing and the women start the LET co-sanctioned events.

LET

Tournament: PIF Saudi Ladies International

Dates: 11-14 February

Course: Riyadh GC

Purse: USD $5.0M

Ozzies in the field: Kelsey Bennett, Kirsten Rudgeley, Madison Hinson-Tolchard, Hira Naveed, Amelia Garvey (NZ), Momoka Kobori (NZ)

The Ladies European Tour kicks off this week at the Riyadh Golf Club which has only had a couple of days off since LIV Golf rolled through for their opening event. This is a stacked field as it is limited to top seventy plus invites on LET and then there are 45 spots for top 300 based on Rolex world rankings. This means that there are LPGA members, major winners as well as the top LET women. The field includes Charley Hull, Rio Takeda and the Iwai sisters.

Our Ozzie stars Kelsey Bennett, Kirsten Rudgeley and Madison Hinson-Tolchard are in the line-up along with Hira Naveed courtesy of her world ranking. As we said in our preview of the LET season, we WILL see an Ozzie win on this tour and what a week it would be to bring it home.

LIV Golf

Tournament: LIV Adelaide

Dates: 12-15 February

Course: The Grange GC (composite)

Purse: USD $30M

Ozzies in the field: Cam Smith, Marc Leishman, Lucas Herbert, Elvis Smylie

Ozziegolf is on the ground in Adelaide at the magnificent Grange Golf Club. The atmosphere is already vibing on course and we cannot wait to see what it rises to on tournament days.

Having the individual winner and team win last week in Riyadh must have the Ripper GC boys on a high and full of confidence coming into this week. They are surely favourites again playing at home and with the overwhelming majority of crowd support.

WPGA

Tournament: Ford NSW Women’s Open Qualifier Moss Vale

Dates: 12-13 February

Course: Moss Vale GC

Purse: AUD $50,000

Ozzies in the field:

Another chance to qualify for the LET co-sanctioned Ford NSW Women’s Open at Wollongong starting 26 February. Kathryn Norris and Caitlin Pierce head up this field.

PGA Tour of Australasia

Tournament: The Quinovic NZ PGA Championship Qualifier

Dates: 16 February

Course: Waikanae GC

Purse: AUD $

Ozzies in the field: Lots

The last chance saloon to qualify for the prestigious NZ PGA starting on 19 February.

PGA Tour

Tournament: AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

Dates: 12-15 February

Course: Pebble Beach Golf Links

Purse: USD $20M

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

The first exclusive money making (signature) event of the PGA Tour. As always the golf course will be the winner this week as we get to see the marvellous Pebble Beach Golf Links.

All the big guns are out to play including Ozzies Jason Day and Min Woo Lee. This is Rory McIlroy’s first PGA start for the year so interesting to see how he shapes up in Monterey. If Scheffler or Cantlay win it could rapidly increase the rate of hypersomnia for PGA fans.

Dates: 12-15 February

Course: Fancourt Golf Estate

Purse: ZAR 7,000,000

Ozzies in the field: Austin Batista, Sam Jones (NZ)

The third of the four co-sanctioned events in South Africa.

Amateur Tournaments

This week is the Women’s Asia Pacific Amateur Championship being played at Royal Wellington GC in New Zealand. A massive week for women’s amateur golf as the winner gets a spot in three majors, Evain, AIG Open and Chevron, the ISPS Handa Australian Open, the ANWA at Augusta and the British Women’s Amateur.

Australia has a great ema of six women competing: Australian Amateur champion Jazzy Roberts (Victoria), 2025 Australian Junior champion Raegan Denton (South Australia), 2025 Australian Amateur champ, Rachel Lee (New South Wales), 2025 Women’s US Amateur semi-finalist, Ella Scaysbrook (New South Wales), 2025 NSW Amateur winner, Grace Rho (Queensland) and 2024 Australian Girls Amateur champion, Shyla Singh (Queensland).

This is the future of Australian Women’s golf and everyone should be glued to their screens watching these amazing young women.
