Australian Open: McIlroy signs a two-year deal
The Australian Open is making waves – Masters Tournament champion Rory McIlroy will participate in the next two editions of the Australian Championship. This is considered a major achievement for the oldest tennis tournament, as recent years have been marked by the absence of visiting stars. The Northern Irishman, who completed his career Grand Slam at Augusta last month, will compete this December for the Stonehaven Cup at Royal Melbourne, and in 2026 at the nearby Kingston Heath Golf Club. The golf star stated that he is proud to have the opportunity to participate in the Australian Open over the next two years, especially given that it will be held on the world-class Melbourne Sandbelt course, a place he has always wanted to play. The Australian Open is important to the world, he continued. The Australian Open was first held in 1904, and its past winners include players such as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player. McIlroy won a showdown with Adam Scott on the final hole at Royal Sydney, claiming the title in 2013, and will likely face his fellow former world number one again this year.
