PERTH, Australia -- The Johnnie Walker Classic golf tournament will return to Perth next February at the Vines Resort and Country Club.
The Feb. 19-22 tournament, co-sanctioned by the European, Asian and Australasian Tours, will be the fourth time the high-profile Asian event has been staged in Perth and the fifth in Australia.
"The Johnnie Walker Classic, one of Asia Pacific's most established and popular golf events, has always enjoyed tremendous success at the various exotic locations that it has visited, but we are especially looking forward to returning to Western Australia as it is a destination that offers fantastic weather, tremendous courses, excellent facilities and a truly warm welcome," tournament spokesman David Gates said.
No. 1-ranked Tiger Woods won the tournament in 1998 and 2000. Other previous winners include Greg Norman, Ernie Els and Adam Scott.
