Golf: The heads of the PGA and LIV golf tournaments have been spotted together during the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
PGA and LIV 'meeting of the minds' | 01:18Young Australian golf stars Karl Vilips and Cassie Porter have earned promotions to the PGA Tour and the LPGA Tour respectively for 2025 after they survived brutal season-ending tournaments on the America n secondary tours to achieve their lifelong dreams.
The Melbourne born, West Australian has been a player to watch coming through the ranks as he qualified for last year’s US Open to play in his first major, he twice won the US Kids World Championship and he competed in the Junior Presidents Cup as well as representing Australian in international amateur events despite moving to Florida in high school.
Now, Vilips feels like he is ready to take it up the game’s best with his eye’s set not only playing his way into the majors on the PGA Tour, but also is determined to one day represent Australia at the Olympic Games. In her maiden season on the Epson Tour, Porter managed two top ten finishes from 17 starts to take home just US$32,700 for the year, but her second season has been more fruitful.
“I’ve dreamed about this since I was a little girl so for it to be real – so soon – I’m stoked,” Porter said. Vilips will join Adam Scott, Jason Day, Min Woo Lee and Cam Davis as Australians with PGA Tour cards for 2025, while the likes of Aaron Baddeley and Harrison Endycott - who were demoted to the Korn Ferry Tour - may feature in some events if they play well in Monday qualifying.
