One of the hottest names in world Legends golf is coming to Portarlington this month.
Former Australian Masters champion Richard Green has committed to play in the Sheen Panel Service Legends Pro-Am to be held at the club on Tuesday, February 25.

Green splits his time between the Bellarine Peninsula and the USA where he last year finished a close-up third on the PGA Champions Tour money list behind Steve Alker and the legendary Ernie Els.

But he infrequently plays in Australia given his commitments in chasing the Charles Schwab Cup in the United States.

"It's a great coup to have Richard come and play at Port," event co-organiser Mark Hayes said.

"We're lucky our pro-am fits perfectly in a window between Champions Tour events and Green wants to keep his tournament form rolling - plus he really likes Port as a course, so it's a win for all of us."

Green, 53, remarkably made more than $US2.1million in the US last year. He made the cut in all 26 tournaments he played and was, incredibly, five times a runner-up with another five top-10 finishes.

"Without a victory, that was one of the best seasons on that tour in years," Hayes said.

Green will join a star-studded field at Portarlington including US Tour winners Andre Stolz and Peter Lonard, recently crowned NSW Senior Open champ David McKenzie and former Vic Open champs Scott Laycock and Mike Clayton.
