Former world No.1 Jason Day has given Royal Queensland his seal of approval to host golf at the 2032 Brisbane Olympics, and has indicated he will return to the venue next year for another Australian PGA Championship tilt.

He even said the change in schedule for the US PGA Tour and increasing quality of the Australian event could entice some of the “bigger guys” to come with him.

Day finished at eight-under and in a tie for eighth in his return to tournament golf in Australia after an absence of seven years.

And the many fans who were delighted to see the USA-based Queenslander back on home soil won’t have to wait that long again to see the former world No.1 up close in action.

“With the way that the (PGA Tour) schedule used to be, it used to be harder with the wrap-around season, but now because we are going from January to September, it definitely makes it easier to come back,” Day said.

“I can definitely see myself come back more often now just because it gives me the opportunity to be able to take time off early and then use these tournaments to springboard myself into the new year.”

And Day was confident that with the tournament – sanctioned by the PGA Tour of Australasia and the DP World Tour – now also being sponsored by BMW and Rolex, it would grow in stature, and most likely prizemoney, which would help attract more of the world’s best players to the event.

“I think just their (BMW and Rolex) expertise in knowing how premier tournaments are run, it’ll slowly just improve, and I once you slowly improve tournaments … bigger guys will want to come and play just because of how well the tournament’s going,” Day said.

The Paris Olympian was also adamant that Royal Queensland – which from 2027 will undergo major works – would “present really well for the Olympics” in 2032.

“If this golf course was in the north-east of America, it’d be stunning just because of the type of grass (over there),” Day said.

“Unfortunately, because we’re in a hotter climate, it’s just hard to grow that kind of bent grass (in Queensland), but there are different variations of types of Bermuda (grass) that you can actually get that will play faster and not so grainy.

“But regardless, this is a great golf course. The guys that are going to be on the teams coming here are going to enjoy it, because not only the golf course is great, but Brisbane is great as well.”

Rather than play in this week’s Australian Open in Melbourne, 37-year-old Day will return to America to prepare for next month’s Hero World Challenge, which is hosted by Tiger Woods.

“It’s nice to be able to just kind decompress from the week … and try to work on some swing stuff in the simulator next week,” the 2015 US PGA champion said.

“I’ve just got to stay focused.”
