Competitors will compete in the following events as part of this year’s series:
| Date | Event | Prizemoney |

PGA Professionals such as recently crowned Victorian PGA Champion Chris Wood, European Tour winner Sam Brazel along with adidas PGA Pro-Am Series regulars Steven Jeffress, Brett Rankin, Michael Wright and Tim Hart will feature across the four events.
“All of the PGA Professionals are looking forward to getting back on the road after being home following the end of the extended season in March,” said Sam Brazel.
“The Hidden Valley Whitsunday North Queensland Series is not only an added incentive to play, it also provides the ability for us to treat the four events like one large tournament where hopefully the cream will rise the top.”
Hidden Valley Whitsundays is a residential estate located between Cannonvale and Proserpine just north of Mackay, often referred to as the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef.
Hidden Valley Whitsundays Director Ashley Rees is excited to see professional golf return to the region in 2021.
