With 2022/2023 Order of Merit winner David Micheluzzi exempt through a separate category, the top five Order of Merit finishers not otherwise exempt were eligible to enter. Tom Power Horan, Andrew Martin, John Lyras, Michael Hendry and Deyen Lawson have all taken up the opportunity just a week after the 2023/2024 season drew to a close at The National Tournament.

West Australian Jason Scrivener is the only other Australian in the field at Laguna National Golf Resort Club in Singapore, Haydn Barron currently fourth emergency.

Starting with the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship and ISPS HANDA Australian Open, Micheluzzi (pictured left with Power Horan) has made five starts on the 2024 DP World Tour season to date, his best result a tie for 16th at the Bahrain Championship.

As the Order of Merit champion, Micheluzzi can plot a relatively full schedule in 2024.

That is not necessarily the case for the likes of Power Horan, Martin, Lyras, Hendry and Lawson.

By finishing in the top three, Power Horan and Martin both have status for the 2024 season but Lyras, Hendry and Lawson will have only individual exemptions for particular tournaments.

Martin will be the first of the Aussies out on course on Thursday at a course with a par-3 17th modelled on the 17th at TPC Sawgrass that was the site of so much drama last week at THE PLAYERS Championship.

Of those who played TPC Sawgrass last week, Aussies Min Woo Lee and Aaron Baddeley and Kiwi Ryan Fox will be joined by Harrison Endycott at the PGA TOUR’s Valspar Championship in Florida.

A week after perhaps the most exacting test on the PGA TOUR each year, players must come to terms with the ‘Snake Pit’ at Innisbrook, a three-hole closing stretch as demanding as any on tour.

Led by HSBC Women’s World champion Hannah Green, there is a strong Aussie presence at the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship in California and Greg Chalmers is one of nine Australians in the field for the Hoag Classic on the Champions Tour.

Chalmers was tied for seventh on debut at the Cologuard Classic, thus earning a start this week in California.

The only place to watch our Aussies in action around the world is on Fox Sports, through Foxtel and Kayo.
