NSW Open

The New South Wales (NSW) Open is an annual golf tournament held in New South Wales, Australia, with a rich history dating back to 1931. Originally a “close” championship limited to residents of New South Wales, it became an open event in 1958 allowing players from outside the state to compete. The tournament is played over four rounds (72 holes) of stroke play and typically features a field of top Australian and international professional golfers. Qualification involves tour membership, performance on the PGA Tour of Australasia, and invitation. The NSW Open has been held at various prestigious courses across the state and is part of the PGA Tour of Australasia calendar, offering significant prize money and ranking points. Notable past champions include Greg Norman, Kel Nagle, and Peter Thomson
