Minjee Lee has confirmed that she will tee it up on Aussie soil for the 2026 women’s Australian Open in Adelaide this March.
The world No.3 comes off a blockbuster 2025 season that saw her claim her third Major title at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
She was also a member of Australia’s winning team at the Hanwha LIFEPLUS International Crown, was awarded her fourth Greg Norman Medal in November and won The ANNIKA Major Award for a second time.
With the 2026 women’s Australian Open set to take place at Kooyonga GC March 12-15, Lee joins Grace Kim as a headline act, with the pair hoping to break the 12-year wait for an Australian champion to claim the Patricia Bridges Bowl.
Minjee said: “The Australian Open is a tournament that all of us Aussies would love to win. Hopefully 2026 will be the year for me, I’ve come close before, but it’s going to be difficult against the field that I’ll be up against.
“Our week in Adelaide is going to be a fantastic opportunity to showcase women’s golf and hopefully encourage even more young girls and women to take up the game.”
The 2026 women’s Australian Open will be one of a swing of four events co-sanctioned by the WPGA Tour of Australasia and the Ladies European Tour (LET). More big-name participants will be announced in due course.
Tickets for the 2026 women’s Australian Open are available now.
