2023 ISPS Handa Australian Open field and players rankings explored

The DP World Tour continues its Australia run this week with the 2023 ISPS Handa Australian Open. The event, co-sanctioned by the European Tour and the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia, is set to tee off on Thursday, November 30, at The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney. The tournament will feature a 156-player field similar to the PGA Championship.

The Australian Open field will have several DP World Tour, PGA of Australia regulars and some names from LIV Golf. Being played in its originally intended slot, several golfers have directly flown in from the Brisbane event. The event features five from the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking as the top contenders.

Players like Cameron Smith, Adam Scott and Cameron Davis will headline the event alongside defending champion Adrian Meronk. Last week’s champion Min Woo Lee will also be on the field. The players will go up against each other for the $1,700,000 prize purse.
