WA’s leading amateur golfers can now apply to be part of the High Performance Program in 2027.
The High Performance Program aims to identify, develop and support Australia’s best golfers as they transition into the professional ranks.
The ultimate goal is to produce athletes capable of winning Major Championships and Olympic medals, and of reaching the top 100 of the world rankings.
WA’s High Performance Program is fully aligned with Golf Australia’s national program and requires all interested parties to submit an application — including athletes who have been part of the WA HP Program throughout 2026.
The State-based High Performance Programs are designed for developing juniors and advancing amateurs who have demonstrated — or have the potential to demonstrate — the ability to compete successfully at national and international levels.
Applications are open until Sunday, November 22, 2026, and must be completed online. The 2027 program itself commences in March.
Athletes will be selected based on results (at club, regional, state, national and international levels); rankings (at state, national and international levels). Applicants must also show the desire, dedication and commitment to reaching their full potential, both on and off the golf course.
Successful applicants into the HP Program will receive a range of benefits including gym access; individual performance planning and reviews; service provider access (including sports psychology, physio, nutrition and biomechanics experts); targeted funding; and more.
