Spanish star David Puig claimed his first DP World Tour title with a stunning win at the BMW Australian PGA Championship at Royal Queensland Golf Club.
The 23-year-old LIV golfer fired a bogey-free final round 66 to finish at 18 under, two shots ahead of China’s Wenyi Ding. Puig started the day with a share of the lead, shooting ahead with three consecutive birdies on holes two, three and four and never looked back.
Puig’s victory is historic: he becomes only the second Spaniard to lift the Joe Kirkwood Cup, following in the footsteps of the legendary Seve Ballesteros, who triumphed in 1981.
“It feels incredible, especially winning here in Australia,” Puig said. “I was definitely nervous, but I think I kept my composure very well. That start helped a lot.”
“I worked really hard for this moment, and to do it in front of such a big audience is something I will never forget.”
The final rankings featured plenty of drama, with Marc Leishman and Nick Voke sharing third place at 15 under, while Min Woo Lee tied for fifth.
For Puig, the win marks a steady rise since turning pro in 2022 and joining LIV Golf. It also marks the opening event of the DP World Tour’s 2026 season.
