Diksha Dagar will lead a five-member Indian team at the Australian WPGA Championship at Sanctuary Cove Golf & Country Club, Gold Coast, this week. She is ninth on the LET Order of Merit and joins Pranavi Urs, Avani Prashanth, Hitaashee Bakshi and Vani Kapoor.

Diksha and Pranavi have both posted top-10 finishes on their current Australian swing. Avani has produced modest results so far. Hitaashee has struggled for form, while Vani missed the cut last week and will look for a stronger showing in Queensland.

Major winner Hannah Green leads the field at the second edition of the Australian WPGA Championship. She is chasing a third straight win in three starts. The event is again on the Ladies European Tour calendar and will attract close interest in India.

Green is joined by Singapore's Shannon Tan, who won the LET Order of Merit in 2025. Tan's list of wins includes the Hero Women's Indian Open, a key event for Indian fans and players. Her presence adds extra focus on the women's golf circuit.

The 29-year-old Green claimed the Women's Australian Open last week in Adelaide. She shot a final round 70, two under par. That gave her an 11-under total and a one-shot win over France's Agathe Laisne and fellow Australian Cassie Porter.

The Women's Australian Open success arrived two weeks after another title. Green had secured a seventh LPGA win in Singapore. She now aims for a hat-trick as she returns to LET action on home soil at Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast.

This week, Green plays rounds one and two with close friends. She will tee off with Stephanie Kyriacou, a two-time LET winner, and New Zealand's Amelia Garvey. Their group starts at 7:05 am on Thursday, with Green expecting lively early rounds.
