The Players Series, titled as the Webex Players Series for sponsorship reasons, is a series of professional golf tournaments played in Australia with men and women competing in the same field, although they play from different tees. The series began in 2021.[1][2] The tournaments are played as part of both the PGA Tour of Australasia and WPGA Tour of Australasia schedules.
