The 25-year-old recorded five top-10 finishes on the LPGA Tour last year, including season-best results of a tie for fifth at the Mizuho Americas Open and the T-Mobile Match Play. She also played a key role in Australia\u2019s winning team at the 2025 Hanwha LifePlus International Crown.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s nothing quite like competing at home and being part of two tournaments with world-class fields in Adelaide and on the Gold Coast is something I\u2019m really looking forward to,\u201d Kyriacou said.<\/p>\n \u201cI think we will see two events that really highlight how strong women\u2019s golf is in Australia. We\u2019re in an awesome position at the moment. Both the Open and WPGA are going to be great moments to be part of and it\u2019s always special to play in front of the Aussie fans.\u201d<\/p>\n Golf Australia chief executive James Sutherland said Kyriacou\u2019s commitment was another significant boost for the women\u2019s Australian Open as it continues to attract Australia\u2019s top players back to home soil.<\/p>\n \u201cSteph is one of Australia\u2019s most exciting female golfers,\u201d Sutherland said. \u201cHaving our leading Aussie players like Steph, Hannah, Minjee Lee and Grace Kim compete at Kooyonga provides a fantastic opportunity for Australian fans to see the best of women\u2019s golf on home soil and on one of the country\u2019s best courses.\u201d<\/p>\n WPGA Tour of Australasia chief executive Karen Lunn said: \u201cHaving Steph play in both major events, as well as Webex Players Series Sydney [this week at Castle Hill Golf & Country Club], is a huge positive for our tour.<\/p>\n \u201cSteph\u2019s performances across 2025, particularly in the major championships, showed the world that she has the game to match it with the very best.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s incredibly exciting that golf fans across three states will get the chance to watch her live in action. We\u2019re building real momentum for women\u2019s golf in Australia and having our star players return to support our major events in March will help us continue on our mission.\u201d<\/p>\n The 2026 women\u2019s Australian Open and the Australian WPGA Championship are two of a swing of four events co-sanctioned by the WPGA Tour of Australasia and the Ladies European Tour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[Photo: Getty Images] LPGA star Steph Kyriacou has confirmed she will play in Australia\u2019s back-to-back women\u2019s golf \u2018majors\u2019…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":454487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,182916,234504,234505,28635,234506,85,34402,234507,234508,178135],"class_list":["post-454486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-james-sutherland","tag-karen-lunn","tag-kooyonga-golf-club","tag-ladies-european-tour","tag-sanctuary-cove-golf-country-club","tag-sports","tag-steph-kyriacou","tag-womens-australian-open","tag-wpga-championship","tag-wpga-tour-of-australasia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=454486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/454487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=454486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=454486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=454486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
