TPS Sydney presented by Webex and hosted by NRL legend Braith Anasta is the third of four Webex Players Series events on the 2022/2023 ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia season. To this point the girls are two-for-two with Min A Yoon victorious at TPS Victoria and Sarah Jane Smith coming out on top at TPS Murray River.

Both Yoon and Smith are teeing it up again this week along with current LPGA players in Grace Kim, Su Oh and Sarah Kemp as well as rising stars in Robyn Choi, Cassie Porter and Kelsey Bennett.

But they won’t have it all their own way.

The past two visits to Bonnie Doon have been won by Andrew Martin (2021) and Jarryd Felton (2022) and a host of this season’s winners are seeking to enhance their Order of Merit position.

WA PGA champion David Micheluzzi moved past Cameron Smith to assume the No.1 position with his second straight top-three finish while Martin moved into third with his tie for third at the Vic Open.

Beaten in the rain-affected playoff last year, 15-time Japan Golf Tour winner Brendan Jones returns to Bonnie Doon as Adam Bland, Mathew Goggin and Maverick Antcliff add international experience through their places in the field.

The Players Series’ primary goal is to provide quality playing opportunities and genuine pathways for Australia’s next generation of male and female professionals that complement the existing events on both tours.

Prize money has increased significantly in 2023 with $1 million in prize money to be won across the four tournaments.

The final two rounds will be broadcast on Fox Sports, Kayo Sports and Sky Sport NZ starting from 12pm on Saturday and 12.30pm Sunday AEDT.
