Min Woo Lee is teeing it up alongside three other Australians in the $US20 million AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California with high hopes.

Both Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill courses are in play for the ‘signature’ event.

His two runner-up finishes in his first full season and $US2.6 million in earnings were easily enough to retain his card in America but the Royal Fremantle product will not be satisfied yet.

At 26 years of age and ranked 53^rd in the world, Lee will see this as a big year for him.

He is already in the field for the Masters at Augusta National in April, but has not yet qualified for the Open Championship at Royal Portrush.

Meanwhile Minjee Lee will use her new, broomstick-style putter for the first time as the LPGA Tour resumes for 2025 at the Tournament of Champions in Florida.

The former world No. 2 and dual major champion had her worst season for some time by her own high standards in 2024, and growing frustration at her patchy short putting has led to a significant change over the summer. Her world ranking has fallen to No. 19 having twice reached No. 2 (in 2019 and 2022).

She has been working hard at home in Perth with coach Ritchie Smith but this week at Lake Nona will be the first time we get to see the new equipment in play under tournament conditions.

Hannah Green, who overtook Lee as Australia’s top-ranked player last year, is also in the field in Florida where Kiwi Lydia Ko is the defending champion.

Tournament season is now in full swing with 10 Australasians competing in the Asian Tour’s International Series in India this week.
