The 2013 Masters Tournament champion will make his first appearance of the 2024 DP World Tour season on the opening week when the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship is held at Royal Queensland in Brisbane from November 23-26. 

Scott will then head to The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney for the ISPS HANDA Australian Open from November 30-December 3 when he will then try to win his national open for the second time.

The 43-year-old Australian, who is among an elite group of golfers who have won both events, joins rising stars Min Woo Lee and Cam Davis in the fields for both events.

Scott won Australian PGA Championship titles in 2013 and 2019 at Royal Pines on the Gold Coast, while he won the Australian Open in 2009 at NSW Golf Club.

The World Number 41 came close to clinching last year’s Australian Open at the Victoria and Kingston Heath golf clubs in Melbourne, eventually finishing runner-up behind Poland’s Adrian Meronk.

PGA of Australia CEO Gavin Kirkman said: “Adam has been a wonderful supporter of the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia and our major events for many years now. Having him back home again this summer for the two Aussie majors will be welcomed by everyone connected to Australian golf.

“Adam always comes to our Australian events with his mind on one thing – winning. I know he will be determined to challenge for both titles and get his hands on the Kirkwood Cup or Stonehaven Cup once again.”

Golf Australia CEO James Sutherland said: “Having Adam as part of the Australian Summer of Golf always adds to the anticipation ahead of our two major tournaments.

“Adam is a world-class player and is a threat in any tournament he contests. We are delighted that he has once again committed to play here this summer."

As well as being highlight tournaments on the PGA Tour of Australasia, the two Aussie majors will be co-sanctioned with the DP World Tour and form part of the start to the 2023/24 Race to Dubai schedule.
