Husqvarna, a global leader in robotic lawn mowing has signed on as an Official Partner of the upcoming Australian women’s golf majors that will feature major championship winner Minjee Lee and Grace Kim.

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 to be held at Kooyonga Golf Club in South Australia (March 12-15) and the 2026 Australian WPGA Championship at Sanctuary Cove Golf and Country Club 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.

The 2026 women’s Australian Open at Kooyonga Golf Club will have a special milestone, becoming the first major championship event in Australia to utilise Husqvarna robotic lawn mowers to support tournament preparation.

The Husqvarna technology will be used in collaboration with the club’s greenkeeping team, positioning the tournament at the forefront of golf innovation and turf management.

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.

Chief Commercial Officer at Golf Australia and PGA of Australia, Michael McDonald said Husqvarna’s global commitment to professional golf made them an ideal partner for the women’s major events in Australia.

“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,” he said.

“This partnership will also showcase how innovation can enhance the future of golf.”

Husqvarna’s Vice President Sales and Services – Pacific Region, Managing Director Australia Pauline Nilsson 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 star golfer and Husqvarna ambassador Grace Kim said: "I'm thrilled to continue working as a Brand Partner with Husqvarna and to see their robotic mowers supporting the Kooyonga 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.”
