After a two year abscence, the Gold Coast have secured a King Challenge event for 2001. In 1998 Steve DaCosta lead for most of the tournament building a commanding lead with 9 holes to go in the final round at The Pines, Disaster on the 17th and 18th saw Simon get to within a couple of shots but Steve held on to win. In 1999 Mikes short game held together to record a comfortable win and the Purple Jacket,

This year a field of seven have entered the Challenge in what will be a classic encounter over some great courses.

Round 1 - Royal Pines West. An easy opener that should favour the low handicappers
Round 2 - Lakelands, classic Nicklaus design, was played in 1998 where Steve set the pace on the back nine
Round 3 - Robina Woods, tight course was played in 1998 and all struggled
Round 4 - The Glades, a testing venue for the final round. And anything is possible
