Some of the most loved names in Australian golf will team up this week in a new-look American Family Insurance Championship on the PGA TOUR Champions.
For the first time, the event will see 38 teams of two play a best-ball format on the Friday and Saturday, before a final day scramble format.
With so many Australians now playing on the US over-50s Tour, the new format has allowed old friends – and competitive foes – to band together for a chance of glory.
Past Australian Open champions Greg Chalmers and Steve Allan have paired up, Chalmers likely hoping Allan can reproduce some of the golf that led to his first professional victory in 22 years at this year’s Galleri Classic.
Another Australian Open champion in John Senden has teamed up with 2008 Australian Masters champion Rod Pampling, while the inform Richard Green and Mark Hensby have formed a team in other notable pairings.
Elsewhere just three Australian’s are heading north across the border for the RBC Canadian Open on the PGA TOUR, while reigning Vic Open champion Su Oh makes just her second start for the year as the LPGA Tour heads to the ShopRite LPGA Classic presented by Acer.
Victorian Marc Leishman will be up and about with a US Open spot in his back pocket as the LIV Golf League returns this week for the inaugural LIV Golf Virginia.
