Heading into its fifth edition at the Thurgoona Golf & Country Club Resort, the 54-hole tournament, running from October 27-29, 2023, has been a popular addition to the SParms Legends Tour.

And in a first for the event, Golf NSW, in partnership with The Sports Entertainment Network (SEN), will be live broadcasting the final round of this year's tournament.

Graeme Phillipson, Golf NSW Chief Operating Officer, said he was thrilled to see the event back in Albury and being beamed live for the first time.

"Golf NSW and the PGA of Australia are elated to bring the NSW Senior Open back to the Albury Region," Mr Phillipson said. "The local sporting public has supported this championship from the beginning, and with this year's event to be broadcast for the first time, fans across Australia will get to see what a wonderful venue Thurgoona is, and how popular the tournament has become."

"It is a pleasure to continue to return to a venue and city where everyone involved around the tournament, including the players, officials and staff, have been so warmly received."

"Golf is the number one pastime Australia-wide for those over 50, and the popularity of tournaments like the NSW Senior Open assist us in promoting the game as the ideal recreational activity for young and old," Mr Phillipson added.

The 2023 Championship is expected to feature many of the greats of Australasian Golf, including:

Peter Senior – a 21-time winner on the Aussie tour and a four-time winner in Europe.

Peter Lonard – a nine-time winner on the PGA Tour of Australasia and a PGA & European Tour winner.

Andre Stolz – current leader of the SParms Legends Tour Order of Merit.

Michael Long – the 2018 Champ and a multiple winner on the ISPS Handa PGA Tour of Australasia.

"It's a fantastic course and a perfect fit for a tournament that's a really important part of our schedule." - Andy Rogers.

Other notables and past champions expected to play include Peter O'Malley, Michael Harwood, Grant Kenny, and 2019 Champ Brad Burns.

Richard Green, the 2022 Champion, who graduated to the lucrative U.S Champions Tour, could be back to defend. His presence, however, will be known at the end of his Champions Tour commitments.

SParms PGA Legends Tour coordinator Andy Rogers said the tour welcomed the opportunity to return to Thurgoona.

"We're absolutely rapt to be coming back to Thurgoona," said Rogers.

"The players are so familiar with the place and so familiar with the area. It's a fantastic course and a perfect fit for a tournament that's a really important part of our schedule."

The fan experience at this year's tournament will allow unparalleled access. Spectators can walk the fairways beside their favourite players and see golf played at its best.

"There won't be a better opportunity for sports fans in the Albury Region to get up close and personal to witness the legends in action," Adam Fitzgerald, General Manager of the Thurgoona Country Club Resort, said.
