Announced alongside the naming rights sponsorship of ISPS Handa for the tournament (more HERE), Green will head to Victoria and Kingston Heath Golf Clubs when the men’s, women’s and All Abilities events are played concurrently in December.

“When I heard that the men’s and women’s Opens were coming together for the first time, I knew that I wanted to be there,” 25-year-old Green said.

“We’ve experienced this kind of concept, with men and women playing together on the same courses at the same time, at the Vic Open and the Webex Players Series events, and to have it in place for the first time at a national Open is going to be something special.

“As an ambassador for ISPS HANDA, which has done so much work in the All Abilities space, I love the idea of sharing courses with that field in their own national championship. They are incredible athletes and tremendously inspirational.”

Lucas Hebert has also been confirmed as playing the Australian Open and Fortinet Australian PGA, while Min Woo Lee was last week announced as a starter at Royal Queensland for the latter.

Cam Smith all but confirmed his own appearance in the wake of his Open Championship win at St. Andrews.

"My plan is to come back and play those couple at the end of the year. Just really spend some time at home as well,” Smith told Channel 7’s Sunrise.

Like Smith, Green’s major winning pedigree is a significant coup for tournament organisers, while her Vic Open win earlier this year confirmed her as one of the most popular Aussie players.

Following that victory, Green won her next start at the TPS Murray River, the first win of a mixed event on a major Tour by a woman, before returning to the LPGA where she has compiled six top-10s in a season that regularly felt as though another win was imminent.

“When I heard that the men’s and women’s Opens were coming together for the first time, I knew that I wanted to be there." - Hannah Green.

Green still has a number of events to deliver that third career LPGA Tour win, but regardless will surely be setting her sights on an Aussie treble with the Australian Open set to be her next start at home.

“Hannah Green is an icon of Australian golf even at her relatively young age, and we’re delighted to know that she is coming home to play the Australian Open,” WPGA Tour of Australasia Karen Lunn said of the West Australian.

“We think that this historic, inclusive event will be something special and Hannah as a world- class player is only going to add weight to it. We’ll welcome her with open arms and we know that she’ll have plenty of fans supporting her at Victoria and Kingston Heath.”

Also likely to be in the field is Karrie Webb, who indicated as much when the concurrent events were announced earlier this year.

"At this stage, I plan to dust off the clubs — I wouldn't miss an opportunity to play both of these courses," Webb said of the event which will see both the men’s and women’s fields compete for prize purses of $1.7 million.

And Webb and Green are likely to be joined by another major champion in the women’s field.
