The WPGA Melbourne International is a women's professional golf tournament on the WPGA Tour of Australasia held in Melbourne, Australia.[1][2]

History

Karis Davidson won the inaugural tournament in 2022. In 2023, Cassie Porter won in a playoff against Kelsey Bennett with par on the fourth extra hole. In 2024, torrential rain in Melbourne caused flooding from the adjacent Yarra River and made the course unplayable. The tournament was replaced by a skills challenge.[3]
