Golf Australia

Golf Australia is the official organization that oversees golf in Australia. It was established in 2006 when the Australian Golf Union (AGU) and Women's Golf Australia (WGA) decided to join forces. This merger was approved during a meeting in Melbourne in August 2005, following the Australian Sports Commission's warning that it would cut financial backing unless the two organizations came together. The Commission provided around A$1.5 million each year to support golf at the Australian Institute of Sport.

'Welcome to the club': plaudits flow for McIlroy

Jack Nicklaus's fear was the "eights and sevens" would cost Rory McIlroy again at Augusta National. The Northern Irishman, who had sought the six-time Masters winner out a fortnight before the Masters, threw them in but won anyway. Nicklaus led the plaudits after McIlroy defied another Augusta National meltdown to beat Justin Rose in a playoff on Sunday.

Well, how good was that. The Masters, again, was compelling, stellar, put-down-your-phone-and-suck-it-all-in entertainment for we slobs on the couch and in golf clubs around the land, acolytes who can nowt but marvel at the skills and nerve of these great players.

That rounds out our live coverage for Saturday, thanks for tuning in. Here are the timestamps and commentary from the day's play. 9:00am: DeChambeau makes 4 on 17, keeping him at nine-under. McIlroy routinely collects his par at 18 for back-to-back 66s and finishes at 12-under-par. Conners makes a brilliant up and down for par and completes a solid day, the Canadian signing for 70.
Huggan: Before too long, Augusta’s mildly amusing rules gravitate to irritating

2 weeks ago | golfaustralia.com.au | John Huggan

Having made 20-odd visits to Augusta National between 1989 and 2024, your humble correspondent won’t be visiting golf’s so-called “rite of spring” this year. And you know what? I am more than happy not to be going there. Which doesn’t exactly make me unique. As many of my fellow journalists like to say, the best view of Augusta, Georgia is in the rearview mirror. Arriving can be a thrill; leaving is invariably a relief. Don’t get me wrong.
Quirky Masters stats you didn't know you needed

2 weeks ago | golfaustralia.com.au | James Smith

Golf is a game of nuance, tradition, and – let’s be honest – absurdly specific statistics. Nowhere is this more evident than at Augusta National, home of the Masters, where history is tallied in green jackets and granular data. Forget fairways hit or average proximity to the hole. We're diving into the weird, wonderful world of quirky Masters numbers – the kind of stats you only bring up when trying to win a bet, or an argument, or just annoy your playing partners. Let’s start with heartbreak.
C'mon, Aussies: the local hopes to get Australia out of bed Monday morning

And here we are again, back at Augusta National for this 89th Masters, and I have one hundred percent zero compunction about speaking on behalf of all sports fans - scratch that, all people - in our great southern land, and declaring that Australians all let us rejoice for we'd very much like to do it again. How good would that be? Min Woo Lee partying in chef's hat and green jacket combo. Cam Smith spilling beer on his lapels as he rips off a shoie.

He still has things to say, of course, as befitting a statesman of the game, a needle-mover, a powerful figure. He’ll tell his colleagues with misgivings over the money LIV golfers received to “get over it”. “If people are butt-hurt, or have their feelings hurt because guys went or whatever, like, who cares? Let’s move forward together and let’s just try to get this thing going again and do what’s best for the game,” McIlroy said.
