The Sandbelt Invitational Steps In After Australian Open Cancellations

Royal Melbourne

Exciting news from Down Under: Geoff Ogilvy and Mike Clayton are teaming up to create The Sandbelt Invitational just before Christmas, December 20-23, 2021. The four course event will feature Royal Melbourne, Kingston Heath, Yarra Yarra and Peninsula Kingswood with men and women, pros and amateurs.

As the feature below lays out, the event has been created to give Australian pros an opportunity to compete after losing this year’s Australian Opens.

My favorite part in this clip? Seeing “Tournament Director” under Mike Clayton’s name!
