David Puig, a composed young Spanish golfer, made history Sunday by becoming the first European in more than two decades to win the Australian PGA Championship. The victory also delivered his first title on the DP World Tour.

A composed finish under pressure

Puig maintained steady form in the final round, fending off a strong challenge from China’s Ding Wenyi. His consistent play and focus under pressure allowed him to seal the championship, marking a career milestone at a young age.

He becomes the first European to lift the Australian PGA trophy since 1998, reaffirming his growing reputation as one of golf’s promising talents from Spain.

“It feels incredible to win here and get my first DP World Tour title,” Puig said after the round.

Rising international presence

This victory continues Puig’s ascent in professional golf. Competing successfully outside Europe underscores his growing competitiveness on the global stage. The Australian PGA Championship, co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour and PGA Tour of Australasia, has long served as a platform for emerging talents to shine.
