Jay Mackenzie from Australia is a proven competitor on the PGA Tour of Australasia. Hailing from Lennox Head in New South Wales, Mackenzie is widely recognized for his laid-back demeanor on the course. During his early years on tour, he famously traveled the eastern seaboard sleeping in his troop-carrier van to make ends meet while relentlessly grinding on the domestic and Pro-Am circuits to build his game.
Mackenzie captured a career-changing maiden tier-one victory at the 2022 CKB WA PGA Championship at Kalgoorlie Golf Course. Overcoming a mid-season slump, he fired a spectacular final-round 68 to win by two strokes, successfully securing his long-term playing rights for the region’s premier circuit. He has continued to elevate his status in recent seasons, claiming regional titles like the 2025 South Coast Open. He authored a remarkably consistent 2025/26 campaign, recording a string of high-profile finishes, including a runner-up at the WA PGA Championship, a tied-5th at the Webex Players Series SA, and a tied-6th at the NSW Open, firmly entrenching himself near the top of the Order of Merit.
