MELBOURNE: Australia hopes to lure Masters winner Hideki Matsuyama to its national PGA Championship in Queensland in December as part of plans to revive its golfing calendar after the 2020/21 season was impacted by COVID-19.
"In '17 we secured Sergio the year that he won the Masters. That was something we were very excited about."The following that would have in Australia through our Aussie fans but also the Japanese that live out here in Australia would be quite exciting." But the country's strict border controls remain a major impediment to international sport, with visiting athletes required to spend two weeks in hotel quarantine.Australia's slow vaccine rollout has also raised concerns that the country's borders will remain closed for longer than anticipated.That could complicate Australia's hopes of coaxing international golfers like Matsuyama and top locals like Adam Scott and Jason Day, who compete mainly in the United States, to return home.
