Kim Set to Headline Australian Women's Classic

Former NSW Amateur star and LPGA winner Grace Kim will headline next week's Australian Women's Classic at Coffs Harbour Golf Club, bringing her rising international reputation home to where her career began.
 

Kim will make her first start in the tournament since competing as an amateur back in 2020, which was won by her then NSW State teammate, Stephanie Kyriacou.

Since turning professional in 2021, Kim's journey in the sport has been remarkable. A product of the Golf NSW system and standout junior golfer who won gold for Australia at the Youth Olympics, she has enjoyed a stellar start to her professional career.

A two-time winner (as an amateur) against the professionals on the US-based All-Pro Tour, Kim's breakthrough came with her victory at the prestigious Lotte Championship in 2023 during her rookie year on the LPGA Tour, the win earmarking her as one of Australia's most promising young sporting stars.
 

"I love being able to support the game back here in New South Wales, and when the opportunity arose to take part at Coffs Harbour next week, I wanted to be there."
 

"The Australian Women's Classic is growing year-on-year, and I'm excited to be able to play in the tournament," Kim said.
 

Tournament organisers are thrilled with Kim's decision to play at Coffs Harbour, recognising that her participation will add to the growing interest and attract fans eager to see one of the sport's brightest young talents showcase her game on home soil.

"Grace's participation is a massive boost for the tournament," said Graeme Phillipson, Chief Operating Officer at Golf NSW. "The Coffs Harbour community are always ready to embrace our tournaments, and Kim's presence will undoubtedly elevate the level of competition and create an incredible atmosphere for all."
 

The Australian Women's Classic, set to take place from Thursday, March 13th to Sunday, March 16th at Coffs Harbour Golf Club, has established itself as an important event on the Australian Women's Professional Golf Tour (WPGA Tour) and Ladies European Tour (LET) Calendar.
