The legacy of Adam Scott’s Masters triumph to Australian golf is in the hands of the sport’s organisers, the world No.2 says.

Scott will tee off on Thursday in the opening round of the Australian PGA Championship, the first of four tournaments in four weeks on home soil for the 33-year-old.

Organisers are using Scott’s triumph at Augusta National in April as a major selling point for Australia’s summer, but Scott feels the lasting impact of his win is yet to be known.

“Everyone’s got to use this as a bit of a springboard to keep the growth of the game going or get the growth of the game going with young kids,” he said.

“The state of Australian golf professionally is in a good place and a little spark like the Masters might be just what we need at a junior level and then through the club level to get some excitement back at club level golf and with lady golfers as well.

“My role in that is winning the Masters and coming back and playing.

“It’s up to the governing bodies to take advantage of that the best they can and I hope they do, because golf’s been a great sport in Australia for a long time and I want to see it that way.”

Scott’s Australian roadshow includes next week’s Australian Masters at Royal Melbourne, then joining Jason Day as Australia’s team at the World Cup of Golf on the same course the following week, before heading to Sydney for the Australian Open.

He’ll tee off at Royal Pines on Thursday alongside Victoria’s Richard Green and Korean Jin Jeong at 12.20pm AEST (1320 AEDT).

Before him, American Rickie Fowler and Australian Marc Leishman are joined by New Zealand’s Michael Hendry in a group that tees off at 7.20am AEST (0820 AEDT).

Veteran Australian trio Peter Senior, Peter Lonard and Peter O’Malley tee off ten minutes before Fowler, Leishman and Hendry.
