The PGA Tour of Australasia is delighted to be heading back to the City Golf Club and Toowoomba for the next two years for the QLD PGA Championship.
After successful Championships in 2011 and 2012 the QLD PGA Championship will return to the region for the third consecutive year with the tournament to be held from 14 – 17 February 2013.
“The City Golf Club is delighted to stage the tournament for the next two years knowing that we can use the opportunity to showcase the great city we live in,” said Ed Britnell.
The QLD PGA Championship will continue to provide sports fans in the area with an opportunity to witness some of Australasia’s top golfing talent whilst also fostering up and coming players.
“We are proud to have had the likes of Craig Parry and Peter O’Malley playing over the last couple of years and we certainly feel a sense of ownership when previous winners Steven Bowditch, Gareth Paddison and Andrew Tschudin play well around the world,” added Britnell.
“Toowoomba is known for breeding some of Australia’s best sporting talent and we are looking forward to providing the community with a chance to witness some of the past, present and future golfing stars”.
Reigning champion and Toowoomba resident Andrew Tschudin says he is pleased to be defending his title in his home town.
“It’s great to hear that we will be playing at City Golf Club again in 2013 and 2014, it’s a great course and the local support for the tournament and the players is always so strong,” said Tschudin.
“Winning my first PGA Tour of Australasia title in Toowoomba in front of friends and family was really special and I can’t wait to get back on course to hopefully do it again.”
The PGA Tour of Australasia brings Professional golf to many different areas of Australia and will once again work with City Golf Club in an effort to promote and grow the game.
“City Golf Club has been a big part of promoting the game of golf in the Darling Downs region for many years and the PGA Tour of Australasia is pleased to be able to bring the best players in our country to continue the momentum they have clearly built over recent years,” said Simon Butterly, General Manager of Tournaments Division for the PGA of Australia.
“The PGA Tour of Australasia shows its strength when it comes to regional areas with Kalgoorlie, Ballarat, Queenstown, Moss Vale and Toowoomba leading the way in bringing new people to the game.”
“These communities really embrace the Professionals and we certainly don’t underestimate the impact they have during their time in the region”.
