Season 2025/26 Summary
Another season of the Australasian Tour is in the books with a bumper season of 20 events, the most on the schedule since 2002. A lot has happened since that final day at The National: Travis Smyth has won again at the International Series event in Japan, Rory has gone back to back at The Masters, and LIV Golf might be dead.
Once a tournament/season is over it seems we just move on and forget what some of the players have achieved outside of winning. I wanted to touch on some of the moves that occurred on the final day at The National and what players were thinking as they battled for status next season.
I’ll also run through some numbers from the overall season and how I think the Order of Merit can be improved for future seasons.
The Final Day
It was a dramatic final day as some notable players battled hard to chase down or retain status for next season. Two marquee players that required good weeks to hold onto status were Matt Griffin and Corey Lamb.
It was a dangerous equation for Corey, sitting outside the cut-off for even conditional status entering the week. It looked like he may pull off the miracle required for full status after birdieing the 12th hole on Sunday and moving -4 on the round, now only needing two more birdies down the stretch to pull it off. However there was still the prize of conditional status that needed to be considered, and was it worth risking it all for a full tour card. I asked Corey where he was at during that final round. Was he going all out to try for the top 51 & a full card?
“The goal for the tournament was to play as well as I could and let the rest work itself out, I had been playing well but just wasn’t getting anything going my way. I knew it was coming just had to stick to what I was doing.”
“The goal was, at worst, to avoid Q-School. Then do some good work over the off season, and be ready to fire early next season to try and play my way into the big events.”
A rather sensible mindset. After all, conditional status still gets you most first half events, with the possibility of the marquee ones with some good golf.
Sitting T6 after Saturday’s round, all he needed to avoid Q-School was 73 or better on a day where scoring came easy for most. Holing out from eight feet on the 72nd hole for a final round 69, it was job done for Corey.
Matt Griffin, with his winner’s category expiring and starting the week in 52nd, had only one objective: a full tour card.
Sitting in 4th after round one and 2nd after round two, Griffin dropped to T11 with even par in round 3. He entered his final round of the season with a one shot buffer. His projected rank jumped inside and outside the cut-off multiple times throughout that final round. With bogeys at the 9th and 10th holes he was in serious jeopardy. He rallied to play the final eight holes in two-under and just held on as the last man to score a full card.
I sent Matt a message afterwards asking how much he was thinking about it over the final few events and he came back with a great response.
“Rapt to get it done. I would have like to have contended over the weekend but the putter had other plans.”
“After the NZ PGA I knew I was close to having enough points, then became too focused on making a couple of cuts to get it done and out of my mind. In Auckland and then Heritage, I played great but found a way to miss both cuts by a shot. After the missed cut at The Heritage I had a tough couple of days and decided from then on, the only path forward was not to look at any scores, try my best at The National, and accept what happens.”
“After that Friday at The Heritage, I did not look at any leaderboards or projections and just tried to shoot the best score possible. That was working great until I fell slightly out of contention and I started to wonder. I kind of knew I was close but didn’t have any set numbers in mind.”
“I was really proud of my back nine on Sunday. After wasting some opportunities on the front nine, I narrowly missed my par putt on 11 but barely missed a shot from there. Making birdie on 12 and 13 gave me a boost. I created really good chances on 15 and 17 and hit good putts that narrowly slipped by. The 18th is really tough for guys that don’t fly it 260m as it hits a wall and leaves you 210m in. I ripped driver - 4 iron to the middle of the green and made a relatively comfortable two putt. I knew making the three footer would be important but wasn’t sure how important it truly was.”
“Fortunately in my career this situation has been a rare occurrence and it’s not a lot of fun so I’ll be doing my best to avoid it in future.”
It was a tough ask for Griffin to play well in the final week when he absolutely had to, especially when the season hadn’t been going as planned. The best players in the world don’t contend every week. What Matt accomplished at The National cannot be understated.
Another big mover at The National was Todd Sinnott who entered the week in 53rd. Todd has played the majority of his golf on the Asian Tour in recent years. He unfortunately missed out on the 2025 Australian PGA and Australian Open after only playing half the 2024/25 season and missing out on a full card.
After opening rounds of 71 and 73 in tough conditions, Sinnott was T14 and projected 52nd overall, one spot outside a full tour card. A third round 67 moved him back inside the top 10 for the week and 47th overall. He also had a one shot buffer walking to the first hole on Sunday. After Saturday’s round, Todd had stated he wasn’t thinking about the Order of Merit and let his golf take care of it. Once he had completed the assignment, I wanted to know if that was truly the case.
Todd Sinnott:
“I was just trying to stay super present over each shot and not think about outcomes or winning or things like that. Obviously I’m there to win the tournament, but any other thought of needing to finish a certain number or the Order of Merit is just a distraction and it’s not doing anything good. I really tried not to think about the top 50 the whole time. I hadn’t crunched the numbers but in my head I thought I would definitely secure everything with a top 10. When I made a double bogey on the fourth hole I thought, oh god now I need to pull my finger out to secure these tournaments for next year. On the last hole there was a leaderboard with three guys at -11 and myself with two others at -9. Those were the only names on there so I thought there may have been a bunch of guys tied on nine under. I had a three-footer downhill and thought geez I better hole this, if I miss it I might slip outside the top 10. Thankfully I holed it and that took care of that."
“The full card was always the goal. Purely from missing the Aussie Open and PGA last year, they are two events I think every Australian wants to play every year. Although I was chasing my card around Asia, I never want to be in a position where I miss those tournaments. I wanted to play the start of this year in Australia and try to make sure I’ve got those events. I may play my way back into a full schedule in Asia and then have to make a few decisions, but it’s always a priority to play those big Aussie events. You never want to be in a position where you can’t get into them.”
“There’s some great opportunities on the Aussie Tour to play your way into some good events and finals of other Q-Schools, so next season I’ll try to finish as high up on the Order of Merit as I can but the main focus is still the Asian Tour.”
A big thank you to Corey Lamb, Matt Griffin and Todd Sinnott for taking the time to answer my questions. I love hearing these insights.
The Season
This season overall felt the most competitive in recent history. It was the first time since I have been tracking where multiple players gained 100+ strokes on the season. Only Anthony Quayle in 2024/25 (+107.52) and Kazuma Kobori in 2023/24 (+105.07) had hit this milestone. This season we had SIX players cross the mark and the SG leader was changing hands weekly. These players who hit the 100+ mark were contending nearly every week.
Haydn Barron +114.96 (56 rounds) #4 OOM
Cameron John +114.09 (62 rounds) #2 OOM
James Marchesani +114.09 (68 rounds) #3 OOM
Jake McLeod +112.30 (68 rounds) #11 OOM
Nathan Barbieri +110.18 (70 rounds) #9 OOM
Douglas Klein +101.56 (61 rounds) #22 OOM
Having a higher number of events does coincide with the top end players gaining more strokes but even in previous seasons, only three other players in each had a chance to hit 100+.
There was a clear pivot from the Tour this season in course setups. Making events more difficult was a great decision for viewing and for identifying the best players we have out here.
Haydn Barron was the deepest player under par sitting at 90-under (-90) on the season. There were only NINE players total at 50-under (-50) or better.
Compare that with the preceding season where Anthony Quayle finished 138 strokes (!!) under par (-138), with 37 players total reaching the 50-under (-50) benchmark.
I’ll say it again, stroke average is not a good performance metric.
Cam John was the clear standout this season. He became only the 7th player to win 3+ events in a season in the past 40 years (since 1986).
Cameron John 3 wins (2025-26)
Kazuma Kobori 3 wins (2023-24)
David Micheluzzi 3 wins (2022-23)
Robert Allenby 3 wins (2005)
Michael Campbell 4 wins (1999-2000)
Peter Senior 3 wins (1987, 1989, 1996-97)
Greg Norman 4 wins (1986, 1998)
It was one of the great seasons by a player on our tour, and he wasn’t far away from grabbing multiple other trophies. Cam has already begun his world campaign with a T7 at the International Series in Japan and I really hope we see him continue to excel. A major tour is where he belongs. He will have his chance to bypass the Challenge Tour as he moves straight to Final Stage at the DPWT Q-School in November.
James Marchesani at #3 was probably the most consistent all season. He had the most top 20s of any player on tour standing with a total of 11. The win is yet to come but it’s inevitable. It is coming. The only thing holding him back at the moment is his caddy. He grabbed the other Challenge Tour exemption for 2027 and is also exempt into the Final Stage of DPWT Q-School.
Haydn Barron finished #4 on the Order of Merit and was arguably the next best player behind Cam John. He nailed his first win at the Webex Players Series and what is sure to be his first of many. Baz contended often and ended the season with six top 5s total, one more than even Cam John. The golf season continues for Haydn as he will be on the Challenge Tour in just a few weeks. #4 on the OOM guarantees the last spot for Final Stage of DPWT Q-School but he may not need it if he continues this form in Europe.
Will Florimo at #5 will be cheering extra hard for Barron on the Challenge Tour as he would score the Final Stage exemption himself if Barron qualifies via the Challenge Tour Road to Mallorca. Another that was overdue a win which finally came at The Heritage. Florimo got through Q-School on the Asian Tour late last year so chasing full status in Asia will the priority for 2026.
Nathan Barbieri and Jake McLeod both had extremely good seasons. They jointly made the most cuts this season, standing at 16 each. Barbieri came flying out the blocks having five top 10s in the first six events which featured a run of solo 2nd at the NT PGA, T4 at the WA PGA, and T3 at the WA Open. It was sad to see him go down in a playoff at the Vic Open but there will be more chances based on what he has shown. It was only two seasons ago he was forced through Q-School and he hasn’t looked back since.
Jake McLeod went under my radar on how good his season was, especially down the stretch. A T2 at the PNG Open and solo 3rd at the NT PGA early in the season, he did not miss a cut from the Australian PGA onwards. Three other top 5s equalled Cam John for total top 5 finishes on the season.
Curtis Luck made the most cuts without missing. Zero missed cuts from 11 events. He also did not miss a cut last season , going seven from seven. Luck has only resumed playing the Australasian Tour in the past couple of years but he has not missed a cut on our tour in 2,700 days. That is 7 years, 4 months and 23 days.
His last missed cut came at the 2018 Australian PGA Championship at Royal Pines where he sadly made double bogey on the 36th hole to miss by one stroke. When I saw that, and because I am absolutely sick in the head, I had to ask if he remembered what happened on the last hole that day. Yes I know, I need help. I’m still not sure why players respond to my messages.
“Missed it left in the rough on 18, then missed the green on the right short sided down the mountain. Had my chip come back to my feet, and then missed a 7-footer for bogey.”
The streak of made cuts was that close to going back nearly 10 full years.
Now I need to know what the longest active made cut streak is.
Another player that had an interesting season was Jay Mackenzie. Jay finished outside the top 100 in 2024/25 after a tough period of eight consecutive missed cuts and lost full status with his winner’s category expiring. He still retained conditional status via the Pro-Am series OOM, and would be able to play all of the events in the first half outside of the two big ones. He was a different player this season. He played all the way through to the NSW Open only missing the top 10 once. Jay’s results were so good he won the Mini Order of Merit by nearly 100 points and qualified his way into the Australian PGA and Australian Open. His play also ensured he made the NZ Open and Japan-Australasia fields. Mackenzie only exited the Top 10 on the Order of Merit (of eligible players) for one week of the entire season. An incredible season from where he was at the end of last year. What changed?
“I was starting to play some really good golf in 2022/23, then I stuffed my wrist the same week I won in Kalgoorlie. As any dumb kid that was getting into every event would, I tried playing through it. My swing changed because of that injury, I couldn’t release the club and developed the driver yips which I’ve been dealing with for a couple of years. Sam Brazel helped me out with a swing tip that pointed me in the right direction. I had a few lessons with Michael Sim and blended with what I have been working on with Billy Watson from Sydney, I can now hit a fairway again. Long story short, I couldn’t miss a fairway until I was 22 then couldn’t hit one until I was 26. I’ve stopped hitting balls on the range and only really hit balls in my net at home. I found it was the only way I could complete a swing without jumping at it.”
An insane turnaround.
The Order of Merit
Our newest Order of Merit winner, Travis Smyth, has consolidated those honours with a huge win in Japan and is in some ominous form. The DPWT card Smyth earned for the #1 position on our Order of Merit became his fourth tour card, also having status on the PGA of Australasia, Asian Tour, and JGTO (Japan Tour). With so many playing opportunities it becomes a juggling act on where to tee it up week-in-week-out. Prior to his International Series win, he had multi-year exemptions on the Japan and Australasian Tour, and because his DPWT exemption doesn’t kick off until late 2026, the obvious playing choice in the short-term was the Asian Tour. Especially with the LIV carrot dangled (if it still exists) for the two atop the International Series rankings, which Travis has stated is a goal. Now with a win in the first International Series event, a LIV spot, if available, is on the radar.
Now to the triple-breaker in the room. I have never had so many messages from different groups about the Order of Merit system and how the points are allocated. If the OOM winner feels awkward for winning there is something wrong. The points system that was introduced four years ago is still FAR superior to the Money List system we had before the change but there are clearly opportunities for improvement.
This was the final season of the Money List Order of Merit and what influenced the change to a points system.
In 2022, Jed Morgan won the Australian PGA (by 11 strokes), and had only one other top 10 in 11 total events. He won the Order of Merit/Money List by over $65,000. Whilst the margin seemed a little erroneous, no player won more than one event throughout the season. And without the Australian or New Zealand Open on the schedule, the Australian PGA was the standalone major event. Whilst it’s easy to argue Jed was the deserved #1, the margin of victory was questionable.
Hypothetically, if there were two more events to play that season, only Blake Windred in #2 could have caught Jed with victory in both. Mathematically no other player could have earned enough points, even if they won both hypothetical tournaments and had three wins on the season.
This resulted in the change to the points system we have now, with point allocations based on the size of the tournament purse.
I do not want to take away from what Travis Smyth did this season. Two top 5s and a win from only four events is amazing.
But Cameron John’s season.
17 events.
3 wins.
2 runner ups.
Multiple other top 10s.
It took 13 events for Cam to hit #1 on the Order of Merit but I don’t think anyone is denying he was the best player before that. And whilst he only sat #1 for five events, it felt like it was unfairly snatched away when Travis Smyth won at Royal Auckland.
Travis Smyth won the Japan-Australasia, a major tournament. That carries more weight than a regular tour event. But how much more weight is fair?
For keen followers of this stats website, you will know I already rank players based on their Aussie Tour performances. Rankings points are allocated based on the strength of the field in each of our events. Without drowning you with the full explanation, rankings points are calculated based on how the previous season’s top 50 players performed in that event. These are the AVERAGE rankings points earned for winning each type of event for this season (and the winner’s allocation of Order of Merit points).
Standard Tour Event (1000 OOM Points / 190 for winner)
209.48 Rankings Points (90.70% OOM v RP)
Webex Players Series Event (1000 OOM Points / 190 for winner)
214.91 Rankings Points (88.4% OOM v RP)
Elevated Tour Event - NSW Open (3000 OOM Points / 570 for winner)
238.74 Rankings Points (238.8% OOM v RP)
Asian Tour/JGTO Co-Sanctioned (4000 OOM Points / 760 for winner)
482.90 Rankings Points (157.4% OOM v RP)
DPWT Co-Sanctioned (4000 OOM Points / 760 for winner)
724.55 Rankings Points (105.9% OOM v RP)
Standard tour and WPS events are awarded about 10% more rankings points than the Order of Merit. Therefore those events are about 10% stronger than the OOM points earned.
The NSW Open is clearly the biggest outlier on the season. The event has a big purse so most players will prioritise it, however the field is only slightly stronger than a typical tour event because it is not co-sanctioned with any other tour. 238.74 rankings points are awarded for winning the NSW Open (vs 209.48 on average for a standard event), but a monster 570 OOM points are given to the winner. That is nearly 240% more OOM points awarded than the field strength dictates.
When the new points system was introduced, we had both the Victorian Open and NSW Open awarding 360 points for winning, and I’m sure the plan was to have a number of these elevated events which would help offset the 760 points offered in-line with the big purses. However it hasn’t panned out like that just yet, and now the NSW Open has been thrown out even further with the move to a $800k purse & 570 OOM points for the winner.
I highlighted this during the season, but it took 12 events for a single player to score as many points as the winner receives at the NSW Open.
For Cam John to reach 570 points, he only to win TWICE, have a solo 2nd, a 7th, and two other top 20s. I can’t have that.
With the 760 OOM points offered at the NZ Open and Japan Australasia events, they are inflated by about 157% but that is still well off the NSW Open figure.
Interestingly, the Australian PGA and Australian Open sit very close in field strength to the 760 OOM points earned (105.9% OOM v RP).
So if we tally up the rankings points earned across the season, where do Cam John’s and Travis Smyth’s seasons sit?
| Ranking Points | |||
| Rank | Player | Events | |
| 1 | Cameron John | 17 | 1028.95 |
| 2 | Haydn Barron | 16 | 683.50 |
| 3 | Travis Smyth | 4 | 639.36 |
| 4 | James Marchesani | 20 | 551.17 |
| 5 | Marc Leishman | 4 | 547.64 |
| 6 | Will Florimo | 15 | 540.71 |
| 7 | Nathan Barbieri | 19 | 534.12 |
| 8 | Matias Sanchez | 17 | 519.85 |
| 9 | Jay Mackenzie | 20 | 511.68 |
| 10 | Jake McLeod | 18 | 490.97 |
| 11 | Declan O'Donovan | 12 | 450.44 |
| 12 | Austin Bautista | 8 | 426.51 |
| 13 | Nick Voke | 8 | 411.38 |

| 19 | Jack Thompson | 8 | 347.90 |
| 20 | Curtis Luck | 11 | 340.46 |
Cam John’s 1028.95 points is far superior. There is no question who the #1 player is.
We can also reference OWGR points earned, which too uses a strength of field calculation. It tells a similar story.
| Cameron John | Travis Smyth | |
| 17.59 Total OWGR Points | 12.05 Total OWGR Points | |
| 13.87 OWGR Points | ||
| + | ||
| 3.72 Multi Win Bonus |
So can we do anything to improve the Order of Merit system?
This year LIV Golf made major changes to their point allocations after Jon Rahm won their Order of Merit last season without winning a single event. Joaquin Niemann won five times. LIV’s points were closer to Formula 1’s allocations which rewards consistency and does not treat winning as strongly as it needs to in golf.
Now that we have five events on the PGA of Australasia that award huge points, it’s possible we could see a player win four or even five regular tour events and still not finish #1 on the OOM.
If Smyth finished solo 2nd at the NZ Open instead of 5th, Cam John could have won a fourth event and still finished over 75 points behind. And remember that would be FOUR tour wins and TWO further runner ups, plus all of his other high finishes.
I’ve heard one possible solution is increasing the minimum numbers of events to be eligible for the DPWT exemption from four to six. This would be a reactionary change that only solves the problem for this exact scenario. In this season’s example, Smyth could have missed multiple cuts in further events and we are in the same situation.
Many players on other tours have exemptions into any Aussie Tour event. As an example, if someone chose to play just the four biggest events (Aus PGA, Aus Open, NZ Open, Japan-Australasia), and they were then leading the Order of Merit or close, they would still have two events remaining on the calendar which would make them eligible for the top card even though we have barely seen them throughout the season.
On the flip side, if the increase to be eligible for DPWT exemption becomes six events, we could see a player win multiple big events in a season where no other player wins more than once. Then we have another problem. Smyth wasn’t that far from the top of the leaderboard at the NZ PGA and the NZ Open. If he won both the NZ Open and Japan-Australasia he would deserve the #1 spot. Imagine he won all three and wasn’t allowed to win the OOM.
There is no perfect system, every tour has events that are stronger or weaker than the points they allocate. In fact, most tours increase points during their “finals” series when fields are smaller and easier to win, just to manufacture drama. It would be great to have the Order of Merit up for grabs on the back nine of the final event but not in spite of awarding the wrong player a chance to take their game to the main tour in Europe.
One player I spoke to presented the idea of increasing the points in regular tour events to 2000 points (380 for the winner), but this causes more issues in my opinion. It majorly devalues our flagship events in the Australian PGA and Australian Open and would even rate the NZ Open and Japan-Australasia too low.
Again, no system is perfect, and it has to be simple enough that it’s easily understandable. If it were a possibility to change how points are allocated, this is what I would do:
Events are organised into following categories
Regular PGATA Event (<$400k Purse)
Elevated PGATA Event ($400k+ Purse)
Co-Sanctioned Event (Asia/Japan etc)
Premier Co-Sanctioned Event (DPWT/PGA Tour etc)
Regular events remain at 1000 points (190 for winner).
Elevated PGATA events sit at 2000 points (380 for winner) - NSW Open.
Co-Sanctioned Events sit at 3000 points (570 for winner) - NZ Open & Japan-Australasia.
Premier Co-Sanctioned Events sit at 4000 points (760 for winner) - Australian Open & Australian PGA.
The NSW Open would still remain inflated based on the Strength of Field but it’s not as drastic.
How does the final OOM looks with those changes? It’s very interesting.
| OOM Points | |||
| Rank | Player | Events | |
| 1 | Cameron John | 17 | 942.16 |
| 2 | Travis Smyth | 4 | 736.79 |
| 3 | Haydn Barron | 16 | 632.91 |
| 4 | James Marchesani | 20 | 599.97 |
| 5 | Will Florimo | 15 | 562.79 |
| 6 | Jay Mackenzie | 20 | 539.29 |
| 7 | Marc Leishman | 4 | 534.66 |
| 8 | Nathan Barbieri | 19 | 504.74 |
| 9 | Jake McLeod | 18 | 474.06 |
| 10 | Matias Sanchez | 17 | 462.50 |
| 11 | Christopher Wood | 15 | 444.36 |
| 12 | Cameron Smith | 2 | 428.00 |
| 13 | Nick Voke | 8 | 420.11 |
| 14 | Declan O'Donovan | 12 | 419.17 |
| 15 | Austin Bautista | 8 | 403.29 |
In this scenario, Cam John would win the Order of Merit by 205.37 points. Remembering he scored 190 points for winning at The National, John would have only lead Smyth by 15.37 going into the final event. And what a season finale that becomes with Cam and Travis battling it out for the DPWT card and OOM honours.
I have not retrofitted the point adjustments just to make this a close OOM race. I have merely tried to line them up closer to the field strengths AND keep it as simple as possible. We would naturally see closer OOM races with point allocations being less skewed as we have such a competitive tour.
If we compare John’s and Smyth’s season without The National victory it’s genuinely hard to split them.
| Cameron John | Travis Smyth | |
| 17 events | 4 events | |
| 2x wins | 1x win (major event) | |
| 2x runner ups | 1x top 5 (major event) | |
| 2x top 10s | 1x other top 5 | |
| 3x top 20s |
I could make a case for both being the best. And maybe it’s because I already know the strength of each tournament, but I give Cam John the slight edge here due to his two runner ups. If those were just regular top 5s then I really could not separate them.
The Order of Merit allocations I have suggested above gives Cam John a 15.37 point edge at this point of the season. That seems fair to me.
With the current system he is 196.37 points behind and unable to catch Smyth with one event to play.
If we look back to the 2024/25 season, Elvis won the Australian PGA and became DPWT exempt so the full DPWT card would fall to #2. Ryan Peake won the NZ Open and could not be caught with two events to play. That season, Anthony Quayle had eight top 5s including one at the Australian PGA. You could argue he had a better season albeit he did not win a tournament. Peake had only one other top 5 outside of his NZ Open victory, but without a win to Quayle’s name it was easy to accept Peake as the next best behind Elvis.
With the above change to the OOM allocations, Peake still finishes a semi-comfortable 2nd and scores the main DPWT card but it is a much closer race (finishing 104.23 points in front of Quayle instead of 324.13). Again I think that is a much fairer representation of the 2024/25 season.
At the time there were two further (lesser) DPWT cards on offer. Anthony Quayle was still on his way to the major tour.
Now the DPWT has made changes to only offer one full card and two Challenge Tour cards, the gulf between #1 and #2 on our OOM is huge. Not only for the much larger purses being played for on the DPWT, but also the Earnings Assurance Programme that guarantees players a minimum of $150k USD. If a player only earns $50k USD on the season they still receive $150k USD total. On the Challenge Tour you go at it with no guarantees.
With the addition of the Japan-Australasia event, and potential further big events as the PGA Tour of Australasia continues on this trajectory, these Order of Merit debates are going to occur more often. Hopefully whatever changes do come help to award the player whom most deserves it.
It was a great season capped off by the emergence of Cameron John as the next Aussie to step onto the world stage. I look forward to seeing what he can do from here.
Only four months until we kick off next season in PNG. Enjoy your off-seasons!
