Hosted by former international cricketer and media personality Greg Blewett, the tournament returns to the picturesque McLaren Vale wine region, with a field of 144 men and women competing for one $200,000 prize pool and trophy.
Also teeing it up this week will be an all abilities field fighting it out for another trophy, while the weekend also sees junior amateurs added alongside the pros to gain experience and potentially some silverware.
Having finished equal-third in last week’s Nexus Advisernet Bowra & O’Dea WA Open, Willunga local, Lachlan Barker will get an opportunity to contend for his home tournament this week, while fellow South Australians, Jak Carter, Kristalle Blum and Caitlin Peirce are also chasing a good week in their home state.
Currently second on the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit, 2025 PNG Open Winner Corey Crowford heads to Adelaide after the WA swing alongside Anthony Quayle who earlier this year secured a DP World Tour card for 2026 via the Tour’s end of season points list.
Plenty of attention will be on Hannah Reeves, who won her first two professional tournaments in back-to-back events at the Women’s NSW Open qualifiers at Wagga Wagga and Mollymook after joining the play for pay ranks following an impressive amateur career.
After some solid performances in the lead into Willunga following some caddying duties for her partner Jordan Doull, Kathryn Norris will be keen to go one step further at this year’s event, having finished equal-second at the 2024 event and will again tee it up alongside her Tour winning spouse.
