The 2025 Australian WPGA Championship and Gold Coast Festival of Golf have been officially cancelled due to the impending impact of Cyclone Alfred.
After extensive consultations with key stakeholders, including the Queensland Government, Gold Coast City Council, Mulpha Group, Sanctuary Cove Golf and Country Club, and the Ladies European Tour, organisers made the difficult decision to call off the event ahead of its scheduled start on Thursday.
With forecasts predicting heavy rainfall, extreme winds, and potential flooding, safety concerns for players, staff, fans, and the wider community took precedence.
“Although supremely disappointing, all stakeholders now look ahead to 2026, with the tournament blueprint already in place to ensure an exciting Australian WPGA Championship and Gold Coast Festival of Golf,” organisers stated.
The cancellation marks an unprecedented move for the prestigious tournament, but officials remain committed to delivering a world-class event next year.
Looking Ahead to 2026
Despite the setback, stakeholders remain optimistic about the future of the tournament, with preparations already underway for a strong return in 2026. Further details regarding next year’s event are expected to be announced in the coming months.
Fans and participants are encouraged to stay updated via official channels as organisers work towards delivering a thrilling edition of the WPGA Championship and Gold Coast Festival of Golf in the near future.
