 Formed in 1972, the ALPG is a member-based organisation that is the sanctioning body for women’s professional golf in Australia and New Zealand. ALPG is an enthusiastic and passionate organisation which has a long and proud history of expanding and improving career opportunities for women professional golfers. The ALPG Tour is recognised by the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings as one of the seven major women’s professional tours in the world
ALPG’s Tournament schedule consists of our major tournaments; ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open; The Oates Women's Victorian Open; ActewAGL Canberra Classic, Australian Ladies Classic Bonville, Women's NSW Open and McKayson Women's New Zealand Open.
These events boast honour rolls which include the likes of ALPG members Karrie Webb, Katherine Kirk, Minjee Lee, Su Oh and Stacey Keating, along with international players such as current and former world No-1 players Lydia Ko, Annika Sorenstam Yani Tseng, Jiyai Shin and Laura Davies.

Within the ALPG’s current Membership of approximately 200, around 80 members comprise the ALPG Teaching Division. These members have gained accreditation through the previously conducted ALPG VETAB and Level 2 Teaching Courses; the PGA of Australia Trainee Program or the PGA of Australia Bridging Course.
