The PGA Tour of Australasia has confirmed it will return to the City Golf Club in Toowoomba for the 2014 QLD PGA Championship.
To be played from the 13 - 16 February 2014, the QLD PGA Championship will again bring some of Australia’s leading Tour Professionals to the Toowoomba region.
“Toowoomba has always been a big supporter of Professional golf so we are delighted to once again return to the area,” said Brian Thorburn, CEO of the PGA.
“We have seen some fantastic golf played at the City Golf Club, including Brad Kennedy’s win this year, and I'm sure the Pros will thrill crowds again in 2014.”
City Golf Club President Ed Britnell said the club was delighted to again host the PGA Tour of Australasia tournament.
“We are pleased to be the home of the QLD PGA Championship knowing the impact it has on the golfing community and indeed our members. We all look forward to hosting some of the past, present and future stars of the game of golf and as has done previously, the tournament will no doubt be bigger and better in 2014,” he said.
Cr Paul Antonio, Mayor of Toowoomba Regional Council added:
"Hosting prestigious events such as the Coca-Cola QLD PGA Championship in our region helps to build a vibrant and dynamic community. A community we can be proud of and one which presents opportunity and diversity."
"Council sees great value in the community activities associated with the tournament, and will continue to work with key stakeholders to ensure as much of our community has the opportunity to engage with the championship as possible.”
Former Champions of the QLD PGA Championship at City Golf Club include PGA TOUR player Steven Bowditch (QLD), four time PGA Tour of Australasia winner Gareth Paddison (NZ), Toowoomba local Andrew Tshcudin (QLD) and Japan Tour winner Brad Kennedy (QLD).
