Australia’s golf governing body, Golf Australia, has signed a multi-year partnership with Capital.com’s Australian subsidiary, Capital Com Australia Pty Ltd, linking the broker’s branding to both the country’s national golf championship and its handicap system.

Under the agreement, Capital.com Australia becomes Title Partner of the Australian Open and the first Naming Rights Partner of the GA Handicap system. The tournament will now operate as the Capital.com Australian Open.

The deal follows other sports-related sponsorship activity by Capital.com. Earlier this year, the broker announced a sponsorship agreement with Vladimiros Tziortzis for the 2026 NASCAR Euro Series, its first motorsports partnership. It also signed a deal with Valencia CF in 2018 and sponsored a professional kiteboarder in 2023.

Australian Open Set for Capital.com Deal

The 2026 Capital.com Australian Open is scheduled to take place at Kingston Heath Golf Club, a championship course in Melbourne. The venue is also expected to use a course configuration planned for the 2028 Presidents Cup.

The agreement also extends beyond the tournament itself. Golf Australia said it covers the GA Handicap system, which is used by registered golfers across the country. Capital.com Australia will support its development with additional data analysis, content, and engagement features.

Thomas McCrickard, Chief Executive Officer of Capital.com Australia, said golf is “embedded in the fabric of Australian sporting life” and described it as a sport built on “patience, discipline, and the long view.” He added that the company was “proud to support the Australian Open and the GA Handicap” and expected “to build on this partnership for years to come.”

Kingston Heath Set for Open Upgrade

The deal will also support changes to the Australian Open, including upgrades to spectator facilities, on-course infrastructure, and player fields. Daily spectator capacity at Kingston Heath is expected to reach 25,000.

The 2026 event is also set to feature Rory McIlroy, who will return to Australia under what organisers described as a two-year commitment. The championship will also introduce a new routing layout, including a first tee position that has not previously been used in competition.
