Alive golf star Mark Leechman is gearing up for a long- aaited return to the Masters, marking his first appearance at Augusta since 2022. His comeback begins this week in his homeland of Australia. The 41-year-old has recorded three top 10 finishes at Augusta National, but has been absent from golf’s opening major for the past 3 years. Currently ranked 486th in the world. Despite his struggles since joining the Saudibacked Liv Golf Circuit, Leechman remains the highest ranked player in this week’s WA Open at MT Lolly Golf Club. While the PGA Tour of Australasia’s historic stops, Leechman’s WA Open campaign is a stepping stone toward the Australian Open, which now offers its winner an automatic Masters Invitation. I’m playing here this week. Leechman told reporters on Wednesday. I headed the Philippines Monday for an International Series event. Then I’ve got three weeks off before Saudi Arabia. I’ll play the Saudi International, Aussie Open, and Aussie PGA. I didn’t want to skip tournament golf for three months leading into the Australian Open at Royal Melbourne, especially on a course I love. I wanted to stay sharp, and this tournament gives me that on a course that will likely play similarly to Royal Melbourne with how firm it’s set up. Leechman, a six-time PGA Tur winner, is the only player from Ripper GC to capture an individual title on LIIV Golf this season. He also made the cut in both his major starts this year at the US Open and Open Championship. With more offseason preparation, Leechman hopes to capitalize on swing adjustments that could enable him to compete in all four majors in 2026. If I can keep my butt back and straighten my left knee a little earlier in the down swing, it helps me maintain posture and improve my bad shots, he explained. Professional golf is about consistency. Everyone can hit good shots, wedge well, or make a 10-ft putt, but it’s minimizing mistakes that makes the difference. If your drive misses the fairway by 5 yards instead of 15, that’s huge. Cutting out big numbers. That’s what we’re working on. The courses are tough and narrow off the tea. These swing changes should help with driving and give me more opportunities with my irons.
