Husqvarna, a global leader in robotic lawn mowing, has become an Official Partner of the upcoming Australian women’s golf majors.

A growing supporter of golf worldwide, Husqvarna will activate on and off the golf course at the back-to-back weeks of elite women’s golf – the 2026 women’s Australian Open at Kooyonga GC in South Australia (March 12-15) and the 2026 Australian WPGA Championship at Sanctuary Cove Golf & CC in Queensland (March 19-22). 

Husqvarna’s partnership with Australia’s two biggest women’s golf events follows its recent announcement as title partner of the Husqvarna British Masters on the DP World Tour.

The Women’s Australian Open will have a special milestone, becoming the first major championship event in Australia to utilise Husqvarna robotic lawn mowers to support tournament preparation. Husqvarna’s mowers will be used in collaboration with the club’s greenkeeping team, positioning the tournament at the forefront of golf innovation and turf management.

Husqvarna’s robotic mowers can work day and night on pre-programmed areas of a golf course

Husqvarna robotic lawn mowers are currently used by over 1,700 golf courses worldwide. The technology enables their course management teams to focus on precision championship preparation while delivering consistent, world-class playing surfaces. 

Off-course, Husqvarna will deliver engaging on-site fan activations at both events, including live robotic mower demonstrations, enhancing the experience for spectators throughout the tournament week.

Michael McDonald, Chief Commercial Officer at Golf Australia and PGA of Australia, said: “Husqvarna’s partnership with the women’s Australian Open and the Australian WPGA Championship is a strong endorsement of women’s golf in Australia and the continued growth of our major tournaments and events. This partnership will also showcase how innovation can enhance the future of golf.” 

Pauline Nilsson, Husqvarna’s Vice President Sales and Services – Pacific Region, Managing Director Australia, said: “After the Husqvarna British Masters announcement, we’re thrilled to extend our golf commitment to Australia. With robotic mowing taking off across Australian homes and commercial turf, bringing it to elite women’s golf as an Australian first, feels like the perfect fit.”

Australian golfer and Husqvarna ambassador Grace Kim, who will be competing in the Australian Women’s Open, said: “I’m thrilled to continue working as a brand partner with Husqvarna and to see their robotic mowers supporting Kooyonga’s greenkeeping team at the Australian Women’s Open. I’ve seen this technology in action over in Europe and here locally, and the results speak for themselves.”
