Australian Masters from Huntingdale

Since the first Australian Masters at Huntingdale in 1979, the annual presentation of the gold jacket to the champion has become a notable tradition in Australian golf.

Greg Norman became synonymous with the tournament in the earlier years amassing six gold jackets in an astonishing stretch from 1981 to 1990.

Many other big names in the game have graced Huntingdale as well, with the list including Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, Bernhard Langer, Mark O'Meara, Colin Montgomerie, Sergio Garcia and last year’s champion and US Tour player Robert Allenby. Langer, O'Meara and Montgomerie have all managed to find a place on the champions' honour roll.

The event has also given several Australian players the chance to launch themselves onto the international stage after breakthrough victories at Huntingdale. They include the likes of Ian Baker-Finch, Craig Parry, Richard Green and Peter Lonard.
