Elvis Smylie Wins The BMW Australian PGA Championship
Elvis Smylie Wins The BMW Australian PGA Championship securing his first DP World Tour title. The victory comes after a stellar performance, marking a milestone moment in the young Australian golfer’s career.
This win follows Smylie’s recent success at the Bowra & O’Dea Nexus Advisernet WA Open, where he claimed his first Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia title last month. His strong performances have catapulted him to the top of the Non-Member Race to Dubai Points List, and should he choose to take up DP World Tour membership, he would lead the Race to Dubai Rankings with 500 points.
Smylie’s triumph also significantly boosted his global standing, with his Official World Golf Ranking jumping from 736th to a career-high 253rd.
This victory adds to Australia’s proud history in the event, being the seventh time an Australian has won the tournament since it became part of the DP World Tour International Schedule. Past winners include Cam Smith (2018, 2019, 2023), Adam Scott (2020), Min Woo Lee (2024), and Nathan Holman (2016).
