It brings heaps of viewers from around the world.
It brings big names like McElroy.
I mean, he was just the other day talking about his Mount Rushmore pool, greatest golf courses in the world.
And Kings and Heath is one of them.
But the 2027 will be at the Peninsula in Frankston.
It's going to be huge.
So basically from 2026, sorry, from 2025 to 2030, there's not one year Victoria does not have golf at a high level.
Yeah, McElroy's back this year, and then who knows what happens in 2027, but it'll be magic, whatever it is.
Golfers spend a fair bit of cash in the economy.
Golf tourism is bigger than your average tourism, and they seem to stay longer.
So last year, with the train open last year, we had at Royal Melbourne, we had international people stay for, on average, six and a half days.
and then into state of state for about three and a half days.

So it's big and it's broadcast everywhere.
