With the Presidents Cup looming from Dec. 9-15 at Royal Melbourne, there is a strong contingent from the International Team in the field for the Emirates Australian Open, at the Australian GC in Sydney this week.
Led by Abraham Ancer from Mexico who won here by 5 shots last year, Marc Leishman, Cameron Smith, Adam Scott, Louis Oosthuizen, are all playing as is Ernie and his assistant coaches, Mike Weir, KJ Choi, and Geoff Ogilvy.
It's the 104th edition of this Aussie Open,and between it, then the Presidents Cup then the Australian PGA it's quite a December for golf in Australia.
Captain Ernie Els realizes his squad this year with 7 rookies are heavy underdogs to another star studded American team led by playing captain Tiger Woods no less.
In a recent blog, Ernie says he is leaning heavily on veteran Adam Scott who has returned to some of his former glory this 2019 season. Scott is in his 9th Presidents Cup and has been asked to take a leadership role.
Always the ambassador for the game he points out that with 6 different nationalities on his team there will be a potential for a billion viewers with markets from Mexico, China, Taiwan, Canada, Japan and Korea all adding to the Australian and American TV audiences.
" This is monumental in helping to grow this game world wide, and is another motivation for our team to perform well, and with the help of our Australian crowds cheering us on, hopefully winning the Cup".
First it's the Australian Open, follow the live scoreboard on the link above, starting overnight EST in the early hours of the morning.
