Background

http://www.australianmasters.com.au/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Masters

The Australian Masters, currently known as the JBWere Masters for sponsorship reasons, is an annual golf tournament on the PGA Tour of Australasia. The tournament was founded in 1979, and was co-sanctioned by the European Tour for the first time in 2006, with a significant 20% increase in the prize fund. Because the tournament is played late in the calendar year, in November or December, it formed part of the following year's European Tour schedule from 2006 through 2008. With the European Tour's decision to realign its schedule with the calendar year for 2010, the 2009 event was the first to be part of the current calendar year's tour schedule. The co-sanctioning with the European Tour was dropped after the 2009 event.

Until 2008, the Australian Masters was always held at the Huntingdale Golf Club in South Oakleigh, Victoria, Australia, but from 2009, a rotation system will be introduced and the event will be staged at different courses in the Melbourne area.

Home golfers have dominated the event, with former world number one Greg Norman unsurprisingly having the most success, winning the Gold Jacket on six occasions. Overseas players to have taken the title include European Ryder Cup stars, Bernhard Langer and Colin Montgomerie.
