Victorian PGA Championship, Professional golf championship in Victoria, Australia
The Victorian PGA Championship is a professional golf tournament held in the state of Victoria, Australia, played on a rotating set of host courses. The venues change from year to year, ranging from coastal layouts to parkland courses, each presenting its own playing conditions.
Founded in 1924, this tournament is the oldest state professional golf championship in Australia. In its early decades, it traditionally rotated between two of the most established golf clubs in Victoria before expanding to other venues.
The championship draws both up-and-coming players and seasoned professionals, making it a place where different generations of golfers compete side by side. Spectators can often follow play up close, since Australian golf events tend to allow more direct access to the course than many international tours.
Since the tournament moves to a different course each year, it is worth checking in advance which club is hosting before planning a visit. The official PGA Tour of Australasia website is the most reliable source for the current host venue and event format.
A player once finished the tournament at 22 strokes under par, which remains one of the best scoring records in the event's history. This was achieved on a coastal course where wind and tricky terrain typically make low scores hard to reach.
