Adam Scott will join fellow Masters Tournament Champion Sergio Garcia at home on the Gold Coast for the Australian PGA Championship from November 30-December 3.
The ten-time European Tour winner confirmed his participation in the tournament today and is excited to welcome Garcia to Australian shored.
“Sergio’s playing in my backyard and it’s going to be great fun as a competitor but it’s also very exciting for the Australian PGA,” said the World Number 24.
“He’s a true superstar in the game of golf and having won his first Major, just creates that extra bit of buzz. The style of golf he plays is very appealing to people. For the true golf fans who want to come out and watch one of the best ball strikers to ever play, they are really going to enjoy that.
“Then for avid sports fans who like seeing some emotion, they are going to enjoy seeing that whether Sergio plays good, bad or indifferent
While Australian fans will be able to see Garcia in action on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia for the first time since 2010, Scott hopes they will be cheering him towards his second Kirkwood Cup victory.
“It’s the first time Sergio has come down to Australia in a while so we are all very excited about that,” added Scott.
“For me personally it would be great to try and win the Kirkwood Cup again. Any time you win it’s fantastic but if you have a little tussle with another top player as well is really good.
“Hopefully I will have the home crowd on my side. It’s not often anyone gets to play in front of a home crowd; since the tournaments move to the Gold Coast, and then winning the Masters, the support I have received has been amazing.”
“We’re going to be competing at the Australian PGA but I’m going to host him in a way as well with an Aussie barbecue, pointing him towards the right restaurants and the places they’ll have the best time on the Gold Coast.”
