And so it begins again. The PGA Tour’s 2022/2023 season gets underway at this week’s Fortinet Championship in Napa in California where six Australasians either recommence or, in the instance of one, Harrison Endycott, begin their PGA Tour careers.
Cam Davis, Jason Day, Aaron Baddeley, New Zealander Danny Lee, Cameron Percy and Endycott are in the field for the US$8 million event, Baddeley forcing his way into the field following an eagle in a playoff for one of two remaining spots via the qualifying spots on Monday.
Davis, Day and Lee are in the field after finishing inside the top 125 in the FedEx Cup standings while Baddeley lost his full playing rights at the completion of the last PGA Tour season and was unable to get them back via the Korn Ferry Tour Finals, so this event offers an opportunity for the two-time Australian Open Champion.
Percy gets into the field courtesy of a top ten at his last start at the Wyndham Championship and will be keen to take advantage in order to prolong his PGA Tour career.
Endycott earned his PGA Tour playing rights via the Korn Ferry Tour this past season and will get to play the PGA Tour as a card holder for the first time.
