Pro Golf First: Father and Daughter to Compete Against Each Other in Australian Tour Event
Peter and Chloe Wilson are making history at the Webex Players Series Victoria as the first father-daughter professional pairing to compete in the same tournament. They'll not only play in the same event but are paired together for their 1:35 PM tee time at Rosebud Country Club.

Peter Wilson, who famously shot consecutive 59s in March 2023 and played alongside Adam Scott in the 2015 Australian Masters, brings significant experience to the pairing. Meanwhile, Chloe, who only took up golf in 2020, is making her professional debut just one week prior to this historic event.

"It's going to be fun. I've never competed against my daughter before in a pro event," Peter said, noting that he can't give Chloe advice during play as they're now opponents. Chloe shared her excitement, stating, "It's not like something everybody gets to do, get to play a professional tournament with their dad."

The tournament is part of the Webex Players Series, which uniquely allows both male and female professionals to compete for the same trophy and prize money on the same course. This format has previously featured other notable family pairings in professional golf, such as Jay and Bill Haas at the 2022 Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
