As golf fans gear up for the 2025 Men’s Crown Australian Open, another revolution in the sport has been unfolding at X-Golf this year.
The inaugural Your Tour Top 50 Invitational has officially crowned its first champions, marking a major milestone in the rise of competitive golf across Australia and New Zealand.
Hosted exclusively across X-Golf’s 34 venues, the Top 50 Invitational brought together the best players from the 2025 Your Tour season last month.
The result was a showcase of skill, precision and passion that proves golf’s future is being forged not only on the fairways but also within X-Golf’s immersive, high-tech environment.
Leading the charge into this new era is Geelong’s Tommy Wesley, who emerged as the standout of the season.
Wesley captured both the Top 50 Invitational Stroke Title and the prestigious Order of Merit crown, setting records and redefining what’s possible in the X-Golf arena.
His stats tell the story of a breakthrough year: 28 competitive rounds across six major events, a scorching 56 at St Andrews Old Course and a longest drive of 331.3 metres.
His consistency and confidence have made him the face of a new generation of golfers taking full advantage of X-Golf’s technology and competitive innovation.
Close behind, fellow Geelong star Brian Blair delivered a season built on accuracy and composure.
With a best score of 59, an average drive of 267.6 metres and a fifth-place finish in the Order of Merit, Blair proved that competitive golf rewards both precision and perseverance.

Right behind him was Moreton Bay’s Joel Palmer, whose dedication saw him play more than 100 competitive rounds across the season.
Adelaide’s Jess Reynolds also made her mark as the leading female competitor, proving that Australia’s best golfers are continuing to reshape the sport’s gender balance.
Posting four top-10 finishes from 12 rounds and a remarkable 59 (-13) at the signature The Turtle, Reynolds averaged 69 (-3) with an 88 per cent par-save rate, delivering professional-level performance.
X-Golf Group is thrilled to have seen an outstanding uptake of Your Tour during its first year. The tournament has undoubtedly redefined what it means to compete, connect and improve in golf.
