Golf fans will be able to watch both of the upcoming joint sanctioned WPGA Tour of Australasia and Ladies European Tour tournaments on Seven’s digital streaming platform, 7plus.

The first of the two $500,000 events in New South Wales - the Women’s NSW Open at the Magenta Shores Golf and Country Club – will be played on March 28-31 followed by the Australian’s Women’s Classic, Bonville – Presented by Pacific Bay Studios on April 4-7.

Under a new partnership between Golf NSW, SEN and the Seven Network, the final two rounds of both tournaments will appear on 7plus, using SEN's production expertise through its broadcast production arm, Rainmaker.

The partnership also includes live coverage of:

• The final round of the inaugural Women’s World Sand Greens Championship at Walcha Golf Club (April 10);
• The final round of the inaugural Men’s World Sand Green Championships at Binalong Golf Club in late September;
• The final round of the NSW Senior Open at Thurgoona Golf and Country Club in Albury in late October;
• The final two rounds of the NSW Open on the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia at Murray Downs Golf and Country Club in mid-November.

Renowned for its innovative approach to golf broadcasting and production capabilities, Rainmaker has already delivered several outstanding broadcasts of Golf NSW Championships, including the 2022 and 2023 NSW Open Golf Championships, the 2022 and 2023 Women’s NSW Open, and the Australian Women's Classic - Bonville on multiple occasions.

WPGA Tour of Australasia CEO Karen Lunn said: “We’re delighted that our two co-sanctioned events, with great fields of Australian and international players, will be showcased on 7plus. We’re also looking forward to the debut of the Women’s World Sand Greens Championship which will be a truly unique golfing event that I’m sure will attract plenty of interested viewers. Our thanks go to Golf NSW, SEN and the Seven Network for their efforts in bringing this partnership together, helping us to grow the interest in women’s golf and specifically the WPGA Tour of Australasia.”
