Capital.com Australia has announced a multi-year partnership with Golf Australia, becoming Title Partner of the Australian Open and the first Naming Rights Partner of the GA Handicap, in a deal that spans both elite competition and grassroots participation across the country.

The 2026 Capital.com Australian Open will be held at Kingston Heath Golf Club in Melbourne, one of Australia’s most respected championship venues. The event will feature back-to-back Masters champion Rory McIlroy, who has committed to returning to Australia for two years. The championship will also debut a new routing that is expected to be used again for the 2028 Presidents Cup, with spectator capacity of 25,000 per day.

As Title Partner, Capital.com Australia will invest in on-course infrastructure and spectator facilities. Its role as Naming Rights Partner of the GA Handicap will also support the evolution of the system into a data-led insights platform, providing analysis, content, and engagement tools for the hundreds of thousands of golfers registered across Australia.

Thomas McCrickard, Chief Executive of Capital.com Australia, said golf is genuinely embedded in Australian sporting life and is built on patience, discipline, and the long view — qualities he said are consistent with the company’s focus on helping clients make informed, considered decisions.

James Sutherland, Chief Executive of Golf Australia, said the partnership spans the full spectrum of the game, from elite championship competition to the everyday golfer, and will support both tournament growth and the long-term future of the sport.
