The hottest young stars in Australian golf go head-to-head when TPS Victoria tees off at Rosebud Country Club on the Mornington Peninsula from Thursday.

Marking the resumption of the 2022/2023 ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia season, the first Webex Players Series event of 2023 also serves as the second WPGA Tour of Australasia tournament of the year.

While much attention will focus on international tour winners such as Karrie Webb, Marcus Fraser and tournament host Geoff Ogilvy, TPS Victoria will be a showcase of the young men and women on the verge of success on the world stage.

Stephanie Kyriacou is already a two-time winner on the Ladies European Tour, Anthony Quayle was top-15 in his major championship debut at The Open last year and 2022 champion Todd Sinnott is back to defend his title.

The tournament prize money has also increased to $250,000, giving it even greater significance to the all-important Order of Merit.

There are four of this season’s winners in the field with David Micheluzzi currently leading the adjusted Order of Merit that will award the top three finishers at season’s end promotion to the DP World Tour.

Fans can walk the fairways with players throughout the course of the four days or watch the enthralling final two rounds from the comfort of their lounge rooms, coverage starting at 2.30pm Saturday and 12.30pm Sunday AEDT.
