Yellamaraju has enjoyed a breakout rookie season on the PGA Tour, establishing himself among the game's emerging names with a series of impressive performances.

The 25-year-old finished tied fifth at THE PLAYERS Championship, tied sixth at the Texas Children's Houston Open and tied eighth at the RBC Canadian Open.

He will return to Australia with unfinished business after making a strong impression at last year's Vic PGA Championship, where he finished seventh after being in contention throughout the week.

Yellamaraju also played the BMW Australian PGA Championship at Royal Queensland in 2025, finishing tied 25th.

Scott, Steelman and Morrison will arrive in Australia fresh from securing their places on the PGA Tour for the 2027 season, following outstanding campaigns on the Korn Ferry Tour.

Scotland's Scott produced a remarkable finish to his season, winning the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship and Compliance Solutions Championship in consecutive starts.

The 28-year-old's two victories helped him finish second on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List.

American Steelman, 25, was equally impressive, claiming victories at the Blue Championship and Albertsons Boise Open as part of an eight top-10 season. The 25-year-old finished the year No.1 on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List.

Morrison, 22, finished No.6 in the 2026 PGA TOUR University rankings before making an immediate impact on the Korn Ferry Tour, recording five consecutive top-10 finishes to begin his professional career.

He claimed his maiden professional victory at the Evans Scholars Invitational in July, producing a stunning 29-under-par total of 255 to win by three shots and set a new tournament scoring record, going on to finish No.10 on the Korn Ferry standings.

PGA of Australia General Manager of Tournaments and Global Tour Relationships Nick Dastey said: “It's exciting to be bringing this calibre of emerging international talent to Australia, particularly four players who have had such outstanding seasons and are clearly on an upward trajectory in the game.

“Sandy and Ross are both now inside the world's top 100, while Sudarshan has already shown he can compete and contend against some of the best players in the world.

“Tommy’s progress has been rapid since he turned professional and you’d expect that to continue on the PGA Tour in 2027.

“They're four terrific young talents and we're looking forward to seeing them take on our biggest championships.”
