Robert Allenby began his professional career with a bang. He was named the rookie of the year in 1992 after winning the Johnnie Walker Classic held at Royal Melbourne. He then joined the European Tour where he played full time until 1998 when he set his sights on the US PGA Tour.
He joined the US PGA Qualifying school in 1998 after a serious car accident in Spain left him suffering a broken sternum and facial injuries.
Allenby has 12 international victories to his credits including a successful title defence at the 2001 Australian PGA Championship. He is a four-time member of the International team at the Presidents Cup. He has an amazing record in playoffs, winning the 2001 Nissan Open in a six-way playoff, his eighth playoff win which now reads 8-0 alltime.
Allenby also hosts the "Annual Robert Allenby Charity Challenge Golf Day" for kids suffering from cancer. The charity day is now in its 13th year and has raised in the region of $3 million for children living with cancer through the Challenge Program which supports services to children and their families living with cancer and other life-threatening blood disorders.

Adam Scott

Adam Scott

Adam Scott is regarded as the most exciting young Australian golfer since Greg Norman. At the age of 23 years, eight months and 12 days, he became the youngest winner of The Players Championship on the US PGA Tour, an event considered by many to be the game's fifth Major.

Scott is a four-time winner on the US PGA Tour. His initial breakthrough came at the 2003 Deutsche Bank Championship after a second round 62 set up a four stroke win and saw Adam break into the top 20 in the World Rankings for the first time.
