Golf Australia confirmed today that the mixed-gender Open, which has won plaudits around the golf world for its innovative format, would resume in 2022 with the support of the Victorian Government.
The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting border closures along with international travel restrictions have forced the cancellation of the Vic Open scheduled for February, 2021.
It is a curious paradox. Australian performances on the global golf scene are as strong as ever – and have been for several years now – while the strength of our domestic professional circuit is arguably at an all-time low.
