Simon Hawkes will be the defending champion at the upcoming WA Open at what will be the 100th staging of the event.
Bowra & O’Dea Funeral Directors and Nexus Advisernet have been confirmed as co-naming rights partners of the upcoming WA Open.
GolfWA’s showpiece event tees off on October 17 for what will be the 100th staging of the championship, the two partners sharing co-naming rights at the 2023 WA Open at Joondalup Resort and long-time supporters of GolfWA events.
Nexus Advisernet’s has been the title sponsor or co-naming rights partner of the championship since 2009, while in addition to their support of the WA Open, Bowra & O’Dea sponsor the annual GolfWA Women’s Classic, a staple on the Western Australian golfing calendar since 2005.
“It is fitting that the 100th staging of the WA Open has once again found support from two of our longest-standing partners in Bowra & O’Dea and Nexus Advisernet,” Gary Thomas, GolfWA Chief Executive, said.
“Both companies have shown exceptional levels of commitment to golf in the state at all levels for many years. Their backing will allow us to deliver a spectacular WA Open in keeping with the event’s rich history.”
The Bowra & O’Dea Nexus Advisernet WA Open takes place at Mandurah Country Club from October 17-20 and is free for spectators to attend. The PGA Tour of Australasia-sanctioned event has a minimum prize purse of $175,00, with Tasmania’s Simon Hawkes the defending champion.
