The 2023 Fortinet Australian PGA Championship is set to tee off on Thursday, November 23, at the Royal Queensland Golf Club in Australia. The Australian PGA’s home tournament will boast a 156-player field stacked with PGA Tour and DP World Tour regulars. The event will see golfers compete for the $2,000,000 prize purse.

The Australian PGA Championship, co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour, will take place in its originally intended slot. Coming off the back of the DP World Tour Championships in Dubai, several European golfers have traveled directly to Brisbane for the event.

The tournament features four of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) as top contenders. Defending champion and LIV Golfer Cameron Smith joins the likes of Min Woo Lee, Adam Scott and Adrian Meronk on the field.
