Aussies Chase Past Glory on the PGA and LPGA Tours
There’s a sense of anticipation as Australian golfers take their talents overseas this week, each hoping to recapture the spark that brought them major wins in the past. Two familiar names, Hannah Green and Jason Day, are stepping up to tournaments that have previously been lucky for them, and fans will be watching closely to see if history repeats itself.
Hannah Green, who climbed to a career-high No. 5 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings last year after winning three LPGA Tour events, has faced a challenging season so far. She began 2025 strongly with three top-10 finishes in her first five starts, signaling promise for another breakout year. Yet, the past seven tournaments have been frustrating, producing only one top-30 finish and three missed cuts. This makes her return to The Standard Portland Classic especially meaningful. Green first claimed victory at Columbia Edgewater Country Club in 2019, a triumph that cemented her fondness for Portland. She’s also remembered for a solid tied-for-third finish in 2022, and she’s been spotted enjoying local haunts, like the Australian-style Proud Mary café, as part of her tournament-week routine.

Meanwhile, Jason Day is looking to tap into memories of his own success, though it’s been a decade since his last win at the BMW Championship in Maryland. Day, currently the only Australian in the field alongside New Zealander Ryan Fox, is in a position where a strong showing is required to advance in the FedExCup Playoffs. After starting the playoffs ranked 37th, Day slipped to 44th following a tie for 56th last week, meaning a top-20 finish is now essential for him to reach the Tour Championship. Fox, coming off a breakout season as New Zealand’s top-ranked player, enters the BMW Championship in 34th position, needing to finish in the top 30 to secure a spot at East Lake Golf Club.
It’s not just Green and Day representing Australasia this week. Six Australians and Kiwi Kazuma Kobori are teeing off at the Danish Golf Championship, while the Ripper GC squad heads to Indianapolis for the penultimate LIV Golf event. On the PGA TOUR Champions circuit, nine Australians are competing in the Rogers Charity Classic in Canada. Across various other global tours, Australian and Kiwi golfers continue to make their presence felt, showing that the talent from down under is as competitive as ever.
For fans, this week offers a mix of nostalgia and excitement—watching players like Green and Day strive to rediscover their peak form, while a new wave of Australasians aims to make their mark on the world stage. It’s a reminder that in golf, past triumphs are never too far from what’s possible next.
