Elvis Smylie returns to defend his title after a two-stroke victory over Cameron Smith in 2024.
Past Major winners who will tee off on Thursday include Cameron Smith, Adam Scott, and Geoff Ogilvy.
These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend.
Min Woo Lee
Min Woo Lee has been in solid form on the DP World Tour and PGA Tour in his last four starts, placing T11 at the BMW PGA Championship, T5 at the FedEx Open de France, MC at the Sanderson Farms Championship, and T10 at the Baycurrent Classic.

Min Woo Lee has the form to secure the title at the Royal Queensland Golf Club this weekend.
Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen
Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen has regained his touch lately after a few inconsistent performances, placing T5 at the Open de España, T65 at the Genesis Championship, T23 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, and T3 at the DP World Tour Championship.
Other noteworthy results achieved by Neergaard-Petersen on the DP World Tour and PGA Tour this year include a T10 at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, a 2nd at the Qatar Masters, a 2nd at the Puerto Rico Open, a T22 at the Valspar Championship, a T10 at the Volvo China Open, a T4 at the Hainan Classic, a T12 at the U.S. Open, a T14 at the BMW International Open, a T16 at the Danish Golf Championship, a T13 at the Betfred British Masters, T8 at the Omega European Masters, and a T20 at the BMW PGA Championship.
The Dane finished T8 overall at the BMW Australian PGA Championship on debut.
Neergaard-Petersen has done nothing wrong in 2025 and could emerge victorious in Brisbane come Sunday.
Marc Leishman
Marc Leishman has been playing well on the PGA Tour of Australasia and the Asian Tour lately, placing T3 at the Western Australian Open, 6th at the International Series in the Philippines, and T11 at the PIF Saudi International last weekend.
Other notable results achieved by Leishman on the LIV Golf Tour this year include a T12 in Hong Kong, winning in Miami, a T10 in Virginia, a T11 in the United Kingdom, and a T13 in Chicago.
The six-time PGA Tour winner has compiled an impressive record at the Australian PGA Championship, finishing T14 in 2010, T6 in 2011, T8 in 2012, T11 in 2013, T11 in 2014, T21 in 2016, T4 in 2017, 2nd in 2018, T12 in 2022, 3rd in 2023, and T3 in 2024.

Daniel Hillier
Daniel Hillier has been thereabouts on the DP World Tour lately, placing T23 at the Open de España, T9 at the DP World India Championship, T38 at the Genesis Championship, T5 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, and T16 at the DP World Tour Championship.
