Regional NSW will receive a tourism boost with the NSW Open men's golf series set to tee off on courses across the state.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW John Barilaro and Member for the Dubbo electorate Dugald Saunders recently announced $700,000 to assist Golf NSW to stage qualifiers for the annual tournament in regional NSW.
Mr Barilaro said the NSW Government is committed to supporting communities in regional NSW as they recover from the impact of drought, bushfires and COVID-19.
"Golfers love nothing more than a weekend away and a new course to play, so I'm sure fans will jump at the chance to plan a regional road trip to watch the pros and also get in a few rounds themselves," Mr Barilaro said.
"The Department of Regional NSW will work with Golf NSW to deliver an event that is both COVIDSafe and provides economic benefits through increased tourism."
Mr Barilaro said prequalification rounds are likely to be held in Dubbo, Albury, Bega, Coffs Harbour, Queanbeyan and Tweed, with dates to be finalised soon.
Mr Saunders said the 2020 Women's NSW Open, played in Dubbo in February, had delivered economic and social benefits with fans travelling to the region to see some of the world's best professional and amateur players.
"The Women's Open was the first major tournament to be held in the region and it's fantastic news that another sporting event of that calibre will be played right here in Dubbo. Events like these bring new fans to the sport, encourage locals to visit and use the clubhouse, and attract visitors to see the regions and enjoy the services and hospitality of local businesses."
