Australia’s best men’s golfers will take over Nine’s Wide World of Sports this week with the first of the Aussie majors, the BMW Australian PGA Championship, live and free from Thursday to Sunday on the 9Network and 9Now. 

Competing for a prize purse of $2 million, 156 golfers will battle it out at Royal Queensland Golf Club to lift the Kirkwood Cup across four days of action.

Aussie Min Woo Lee is back to defend his crown at Royal Queensland, where he faces off against fellow big name countrymen Cameron Smith, Jason Day, Marc Leishman, and Lucas Herbert as well as a host of players from the DP World Tour and PGA Tour.

Former World No.1, Jason Day, said: “I’m extremely excited to be coming back home to Queensland, and play in front of the Aussie fans. I’ve seen the amazing atmosphere at ‘RQ’ the past few years and can’t wait to experience it for myself.”

Viewers can stream every round anywhere, anytime for free on 9Now. The opening rounds are available on 9GemHD on Thursday and Friday, before switching to Channel 9HD after the cut, as competition heats up on Saturday and Sunday from 11.00am AEST. 

Nine’s Brenton Speed will feature in commentary throughout the tournament. Then we’re back on the tee when the ISPS HANDA Australian Open in Melbourne runs from November 28 to December 1, all live and free on the 9Network.
