Dimitrios Papadatos from Australia is a four-time winner on the PGA Tour of Australasia and a former New Zealand Open Champion (2014). A player with a proven pedigree on the international stage, Papadatos famously won the New Zealand Open at The Hills as a rookie professional, announcing his arrival with a four-stroke victory. He later successfully expanded his career to Europe, capturing the Open de Portugal on the Challenge Tour in 2018 and earning starts at The Open Championship in both 2019 and 2022.
His 2025/26 season has been marked by a return to competitiveness after a period of rebuilding. He started the 2026 calendar year in excellent form, highlighted by a standout performance at the Webex Players Series Sydney in February. Firing a second-round 65, he remained in contention throughout the week to finish solo 4th, his best result in over a year. This top-tier finish, combined with a steady tied-16th at the Webex Players Series Perth, has moved him inside the top 50 of the Order of Merit, signaling that the two-time Vic Open winner is trending back toward his best golf.
