NSW Minister for Tourism and Major Events, George Souris, said “The Australian Open is synonymous with Sydney, having hosted the event since 2006. The NSW Government, through Destination NSW, has established a strategic partnership with Golf Australia to stage the Open in Sydney until 2015, with the long-term vision of the tournament becoming the premier event in the Asia Pacific region.”
Golf Australia CEO Stephen Pitt said he was pleased the Open would return to a club with significant historical ties to the championship.
“Royal Sydney has hosted the Open 13 times and counts Gary Player, John Senden, Aaron Baddeley, Robert Allenby and Mark Calcavecchia among the past champions to lift the Stonehaven Cup there,” Pitt said.
“We are looking forward to returning to Royal Sydney in November with Australia’s most coveted championship.”
