Min Woo Lee (WA)

One of the rising superstars in world golf, Min Woo’s spectacular play has allowed him to successfully follow the pathway from the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia to the DP World Tour and now the US PGA Tour. Always entertaining and with a huge social media presence, Min Woo produces his best golf in the big events. He was spectacular in the Australian majors last year, winning the Australian PGA Championship and finishing third in the ISPS HANDA Australian Open.

A member of the Internationals Team at the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne in 2019, Niemann is a two-time winner on the PGA TOUR and rose to No.15 on the Official World Golf Ranking in 2022.

A former Australian Amateur and Victorian Amateur champion, Cam’s first professional victory came in 2017 when, at age 22, he stunned the golf world with a closing 64 to claim the ISPS Australian Open title at The Australian Golf Club. It was the start of the rise up the world rankings which has seen the Seattle-based Sydneysider became a regular inside the top 50. Cam is a two-time winner of the Rocket Mortgage Classic on the PGA Tour, the latest coming in June this year. Cam made his Presidents Cup debut for the International Team in 2022.

CONFIRMED - MARQUEE WOMEN PLAYERS

Ashleigh Buhai (RSA)

Some of the best golf of Ashleigh’s career has come in the past three years, including a debut major championship win at the AIG Women’s Open at Muirfield in Scotland and back-to-back victories at the ISPS HANDA Australian Open, both by one-stroke margins. She turned pro just after her 18th birthday and qualified for the LPGA Tour for the first time seven years later. Ashleigh has been a frequent visitor to Australia since her amateur days, including a win at the Jack Newton Junior International Classic in 2004. She has two wins on the LPGA Tour and has professional victories on four different continents.

Hannah Green (WA)

The two-time Olympian and former major championship winner has enjoyed one of the best years of her distinguished career in 2024. Two victories on the LPGA Tour – the HSBC Women’s World Championship and the JM Eagle LA Championship – helped to lift the West Australian to a career-best world ranking of No.5, making her the highest ranked Australian golfer, male or female. The ISPS HANDA Australian Open has eluded Green so far – she was fifth in 2023 - but she’s extremely determined to fill that gap on her impressive resume.

  • Major championships: 1

  • LPGA Tour wins: 5

  • WPGA Tour of Australasia wins: 4

  • 2024 best finishes: 1st HSBC Women’s World Championship, 1st JM Eagle LA Championship, 2 Mizuho Americas Open, T4 Olympic Games
