The European Tour starts its new season and moves to Australia for a co-sanctioned event with the Australasia Tour that holds two of its biggest events over the next two weeks. First up is the Australian PGA Championship which is now in its 88th year.

Royal Queensland Golf Club will be hosting the event for the second year in succession.
