New PGA Tour card holder Sandy Scott set for two DP World Tour starts in Australia
Highlander to tee up in both Australian PGA Championship and Australian Open after securing invitations
Sandy Scott’s new status as a PGA Tour card holder and also now sitting inside the top 100 in the world rankings have helped him earn a first trip to Australia.
The 28-year-old has secured invitations for both the BMW Australian PGA Championship at The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney and Capital.com Australian Open at Kingston Heath Golf Club in Melbourne.
The two DP World Tour events in late November and early December will help Scott sharpen his game as he gears up for his first start on the 2027 PGA Tour, which will be in The American Express in California towards the end of January.
“It is a tremendous opportunity as they are both great events,” Scott, who graduated to the PGA Tour on the back of two wins on the Korn Ferry Tour, told The Scotsman during a trip home.
“It’s a great opportunity to compete against some great players in amazing fields and prepare for the season ahead. They will also give me an opportunity to improve my world ranking.
“I’ve never been down to Australia before, but I’ve heard great things about it, so I am really looking forward to the trip.”
Scott was outside the top 400 in the Official World Golf Ranking at the end of 2025 before breaking into the top 100 - he’s currently 90th - on the back of two title triumphs in quick succession on the Korn Ferry Tour.
“There was a category in these two events for the world rankings that I was holding out for,” added Scott. “But, in the end, I’ve secured an invitation to both events.
“That was just confirmed recently, which is great as it means I can prepare for these tournsaments rather than waiting with my fingers crossed.”
