David Puig Claims Breakthrough DP World Tour Victory at Australian PGA
Spain’s David Puig delivered a flawless final round of five-under 66 to secure a two-shot victory at the 2025 BMW Australian PGA Championship at Royal Queensland. The 23-year-old claimed his first DP World Tour title in just his 15th start, becoming only the second Spanish winner of the Kirkwood Cup after Seve Ballesteros in 1981.
The win launches Puig to the top of the Race to Dubai Rankings and is projected to move him as high as 112th in the Official World Golf Ranking, up from 172nd. He now turns his attention to completing an Australian majors double at the Crown Australian Open at Royal Melbourne starting Thursday.

Thailand’s Poosit Supupramai made a brilliant birdie on the par-four 18th to win the inaugural Bharath Classic 2025 Gujarat today – breathing a huge sigh of relieve after recording his maiden victory on the Asian Tour. A powerful nine iron to 10 feet, from where he duly converted for a three to close with a three-under-par 69 and a tournament total of 18-under, saw him win by one from Korean Wooyoung Cho, who returned a 65.
Thailand’s Jazz Janewattananond (72) and Panuphol Pittarayat (69), both paired with Poosit on another Shotgun Start day, fellow Thai Ekpharit Wu (67) and Indian Sachin Baisoya (62) tied for third another two shots back. The US$500,000 event was held at Kensville Golf Resort, just outside of Ahmedabad city, and was joint-sanctioned with the newly-launched Indian Golf Premier League.
Poosit and Jazz, chasing his eighth win on the Asian Tour, started day locked in a share of the lead but the former edged it after brave performance.

After both players made par on the first playoff hole, Oiwa capitalised on his approach the second time down the 18th to secure the victory. The win marks a major breakthrough for Oiwa, who said he was proud to stay patient under pressure and give himself a chance at the end.
