Heineken Classic

Heineken Classic

The Heineken Classic was a men's professional golf tournament played in Australia from 1993 to 2005 as part of the PGA Tour of Australasia. It was held at the Vines Resort in Western Australia from 1993 to 2001 and moved to the Royal Melbourne Golf Club from 2002 to 2005. From 1996 onwards it was co-sanctioned by the European Tour. In 2005 it was the most lucrative golf tournament in Australasia, but the 2006 event was cancelled after the sponsor withdrew and the promoters were unable to find a replacement. This was one of a series of tournaments to be cancelled in Australia within the space of a few years. [http://www.golftoday.co.uk/news/yeartodate/news05/heineken1.html] The winners of the Heineken Classic during its thirteen year run included former World Number 1s Ernie Els and Ian Woosnam and future U.S. Open champion Michael Campbell.
