Golf's Australian Open Targeted By Proposed World Tour

Venues and events have not been detailed much by the World Golf Group proposing a star and team-driven tour, but as Evin Priest reports for the Australian Associated Press, a once prominent event that has struggled in recent years could be ripe for a takeover by “The League”.

If successful, It would be a massive boon for the Australian Open, which has struggled to attract golf's biggest stars in the past few years due to a year-long US PGA Tour schedule.

Golf Australia chief executive Stephen Pitt told AAP: "We're aware of what is being proposed with this new league and that the Australian Open has been included in those plans. However, it is too early in the process to make any further comment."
