Rescheduled: The Gippsland Super 6 Event

Quality of Gippsland Super 6 safeguarded as event rescheduled

The Gippsland Super 6 has been rescheduled to 16–19 December 2021, to ensure the event can go ahead with the highest-quality field possible. The PGA Tour have released the following statement about the decision to reschedule the event:

“The PGA Tour of Australasia has reshuffled the entire 2021-22 summer golf schedule, as border closures necessitate the shift of tournaments originally slated for October and November.

“It is important we give the event the best chance to proceed with our full membership able to compete, and with the best possible field,” said Nick Dastey, PGA of Australia Tournaments Director – Australasia.

“This magnificent tournament format has proven immensely popular, and we want to showcase it with the country’s best players at our new home at Warragul Country Club.

“It has become increasingly obvious in recent weeks, with the current lockdowns and restrictions across the country, that we need some extra time to achieve this outcome.”

The new date means the Gippsland Super 6 remains a full Order of Merit Tournament, with its own place on a crowded and condensed Australian golf calendar.

Hosting the Gippsland Super 6 for the first time in 2021, the Warragul Country Club is pleased the tournament can go ahead in its full capacity.

“The Club is proud to be host venue for the Super 6 and we look forward to partnering with the PGA to deliver this showcase event for our members and our local community,” said Kaye Rollinson, Chairperson at Warragul Country Club.

Moving the event further into the summer holiday period also gives the event an opportunity to host activities that will attract and engage holidaying visitors and locals alike. 

“Being so close to Christmas gives us the chance to incorporate Christmas themed activities around Tournament week, especially on the Family Day on Sunday 19 December,” said Dastey.

The Gippsland Super 6 is golf tournament comprising three rounds of ordinary stroke play, before a day three cut reduces the field of 126 competitors to a top 24. The top 24 then competes in a final-day six-hole match play format to determine a champion.

Headlining the field will be defending champion Marcus Fraser, a who has multiple wins on the European and Asian Tours along with representing Australia at the 2016 Rio Olympics.”
