Australia chief executive officer Stephen Pitt confirmed the date today, saying
it was the perfect time to again showcase record-setting host, The Australian
Golf Club.

"We’re really
excited to be heading back to a club that will host our national championship
for an unprecedented 19th time," Pitt said.

"It’s the
same week on the golf calendar as last year which was a resounding success and
a great time of the year to bring a world-class field to Sydney."

Pitt said The Australian’s
redesigned course had been "superbly prepared and well received by both players
and fans" in 2014 as American Jordan Spieth lifted the Stonehaven Cup with one
of the storied event’s greatest rounds.

"The
overwhelming feedback we’ve had from players and sponsors is that they’ll be
delighted to go back in 2015, so we’re thrilled to be able to make that
happen," Pitt said.

The Emirates
Australian Open is co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour of Australasia, a member of
the International Federation of PGA Tours, and the OneAsia Tour.

A flagship
tournament on the PGA Tour of Australasia, the Emirates Australian Open winner
will receive a minimum of 32 Official World Golf Rankings points.
