Sydney has landed the Australian PGA Championship for the first time in almost 30 years, as it moves south from Brisbane.
The 2026 edition of the tournament will be played at The Lakes Golf Club from November 26-29.

The venue has previously hosted the event three times (1950, 1972 and 1987) along with eight Australian Opens.
It will be followed by the Australian Open one week later at Kingston Heath in Melbourne.
This is the first time the event has moved away from Royal Queensland since the first post-Covid edition in early 2022.
The Brisbane course is being upgraded ahead of the 2032 Olympic Games.
Spain’s David Puig is the reigning champion, after Elvis Smylie beat Cameron Smith in a rain-shortened 2024 event.
“We are delighted to be returning to New South Wales and The Lakes Golf Club this November, for what will be our first visit in three years,” DP World Tour Chief Tournament & Operations Officer Ben Cowen said.
“Our members thoroughly enjoy opening our season down under, with the BMW Australian PGA Championship in particular a key launchpad for the Race to Dubai. We look forward to another fantastic edition in Sydney later this year.
“As golf’s Global Tour, we take great pride in providing our members with pathways to the world stage, allowing players to compete with the very best at the highest levels of the game. Co-sanctioned events such as this one are an important part of making this possible.
“We extend our thanks to the NSW Government and Destination NSW for their support of this event, and look forward to a great tournament.”
Tickets are on sale from 10am today via Ticketek.
