One of world golf’s superstars, Cam is looking to join a small group of golfers to win the Joe Kirkwood Cup four times. His three-shot victory last year as he returned home to Brisbane from his memorable 150th Open Championship triumph at the home of golf, St Andrews, produced unprecedented scenes at Royal Queensland. A former world No.2, Cam picked up two top-10 finishes in majors this year, as well as two LIV Golf titles.

The first and still only Australian to win The Masters at Augusta National has been at the top of the game in this country for more than two decades.

Always entertaining and with a huge social media presence, Min Woo produces his best golf in the big events and this year figured in the top-10 of both the US Open and Players Championship, as well as scoring a victory on the Asian Tour at the Macau Open where he totalled an amazing 30-under-par.

This week he will be trying to join an elite group of golfers to complete the Australian Open and Australian PGA double. His Open win came in 2017 when, at age 22, he stunned the golf world with a closing 64 to claim the title at The Australian Golf Club.

He also has one victory on the US PGA Tour where he now plays most of his golf. Originally from Bendigo in country Victoria, Herbert spends plenty of time on the Sunshine Coast where his coach Dom Azzopardi is based.

He finished 12th at Royal Queensland last year and has had four top-10 finishes worldwide in 2023.

Later in the year, he conquered Australia’s best to claim the ISPS HANDA Australian Open at Victoria Golf Club, beating Adam Scott by five shots. Meronk was in strong contention to make Europe’s Ryder Cup team this year and was considered to be an unlucky omission from the final squad of 12. A couple of weeks later he shot 66-66 at the weekend to win the Andalucia Masters

However the lefthander’s breakthrough year came in 2020 when he collected his first DP World Tour title in Cyprus.
