The PGA of Australia last week announced the date for the 2025 BMW Australian PGA Championship to be played again at Royal Queensland Golf Club. The co-sanctioned event between the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia and DP World Tour will be played for the fifth consecutive year at the 2032 Olympic Games designated golf venue from 27-30 November.
  
In announcing the date, PGA of Australia chief executive Gavin Kirkman noted: “Although our planning for this year’s tournament has been underway since Elvis Smylie holed the winning putt in front of a home crowd last November, today is the start of the official countdown to the 2025 BMW Australian PGA Championship. We’re looking forward to returning to Royal Queensland, watching some fantastic golf, enjoying all the on-course and off-course activities and seeing who emerges as the 2025 winner of the Joe Kirkwood Cup."
 
Royal Queensland course superintendent Adam Mills and tournament organisers will be hoping for some kinder weather in 2025 after a torrid time last November. In what was a hugely challenging and frustrating week for the crew, a horror stretch of wet weather marred the lead-in and opening to the tournament. The course copped nearly 250mm of rain over a 12 day period, forcing DP World Tour tournament organisers to abandon the second round and reduce the event to 54 holes. CLICK HERE to read the report in The Cut from the week of the tournament.
