Co-sanctioned by the WPGA Tour of Australasia and Ladies European Tour, the 2027 championship will again bring together some of the world\u2019s best female professional golfers on The Palms golf course, as well as feature the second Festival of Golf, a celebration of the game, its lifestyle and the broader golf community.<\/p>\n
The Australian WPGA Championship has quickly established itself as a major highlight of the Australian summer of golf and produced a memorable result last March as Australian No.1 Hannah Green claimed the Karrie Webb Cup to complete the third leg of a remarkable hat-trick of professional victories.<\/p>\n
WPGA Tour of Australasia CEO Karen Lunn said Sanctuary Cove had proven to be the perfect home for the Championship.<\/p>\n
\u201cSanctuary Cove has quickly become synonymous with the Australian WPGA Championship and we are delighted to be returning for a second consecutive year in 2027,\u201d Lunn said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe tournament has attracted an exceptional calibre of players, and Hannah Green\u2019s victory in 2026 was a wonderful demonstration of the quality and depth of women\u2019s golf in Australia.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo see Hannah complete the third leg of her hat-trick was a special moment and there will be more special moments to come I\u2019m sure next year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to welcoming players, fans and the local community back to the Gold Coast in 2027 for another fantastic Australian WPGA Championship and Festival of Golf.\u201d<\/p>\n
Located between the 18th hole and the Sanctuary Cove Marine Village, the Festival of Golf includes interactive experiences, live entertainment from local artists, food trucks and pop-up bars, kids\u2019 zones, and the very best food and shopping from local restaurants, cafes and stores.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat made the inaugural Festival of Golf so exciting was the way it brought together the best of golf, innovation and entertainment in one place,\u201d said Corey Rattray-Wood, General Manager \u2013 Events & Partnerships at Mulpha Events.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor our second year, we\u2019re looking to build on that foundation and make the Festival of Golf even better, with a renewed location and footprint connecting the Festival directly to the tournament action, while also introducing new products and experiences for golf lovers to discover.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether you\u2019re an avid golfer, curious about the sport or simply looking for a great family day out, the Festival of Golf provides a welcoming and approachable environment to experience everything golf has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sanctuary Cove Golf and Country Club CEO Paul Sanders said: \u201cSanctuary Cove is incredibly proud to once again host the Australian WPGA Championship and to see the event establish itself as a major fixture on the Australian golfing calendar.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe quality of the golf combined with the atmosphere created around the Festival of Golf has been fantastic for our members, the Gold Coast community and everyone involved.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Festival of Golf is delivered by Mulpha Events and is supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events, Experience Gold Coast, the WPGA Tour of Australasia, and Sanctuary Cove Golf and Country Club.<\/p>\n
