Harrison Gomez Builds Strong Junior Record In Nudgee

Nudgee golfer Harrison Gomez nears end of junior career with major wins and strong amateur results across Australia and early 2026 competitions.



Major Titles Mark 2025 Season

Harrison Gomez, a member of Nudgee Golf Club, recorded two key junior victories in late 2025 with wins at the Jack Newton International Junior Classic and the Greg Norman Junior Masters.

At the Jack Newton event in October 2025, he finished at 14-under par and secured a five-shot win, producing rounds of 66 in both the opening and final stages of the tournament.

He followed this result in December 2025 by winning the Greg Norman Junior Masters after finishing level at two-under and prevailing in a playoff.

Consistent Results Across The Year

Across 2025, Gomez added further results at junior level. He won the Maroochy River Junior Open and tied with Chase Oberle in the Queensland Junior Championship.

He was also part of Queensland’s junior squad in the Interstate Teams Matches series.

In July 2025, he won the Coolangatta-Tweed Heads leg of the Next Gen Amateur Tour. He later finished fifth at the tour’s World Final at Moonah Links in November.

Club Performances In Nudgee

At club level, Gomez has maintained consistent form in Nudgee. He won the Nudgee Golf Club men’s club championship in both 2024 and 2025.

In the 2025 championship, he secured the title with a final round score of 64.

Early 2026 Amateur Results

In early 2026, Gomez continued to compete in higher-level events. He finished fifth in both the South Australia Junior Amateur and South Australia Junior Masters.

He also placed runner-up at the Kooralbyn Junior Masters.

At the SA Classic in Adelaide, he shared the lead after the opening round with a score of 68, four under par.

Pathway And Next Steps

Gomez began playing golf at the age of six and moved from Melbourne to Brisbane in mid-2020. He later became a junior member at Royal Pines before joining Nudgee Golf Club in 2023.

He is part of the Queensland high performance squad and plans to continue competing in leading amateur events, including the Australian Amateur Championship and the Riversdale Cup. He has also identified amateur tournaments in Asia as part of his development.

He has chosen to remain in Australia rather than pursue the United States collegiate pathway, with the aim of progressing towards professional golf.

Outlook

Gomez is closing out his junior career with results across both club and national competitions, while continuing to compete in amateur events in 2026.



His recent performances reflect ongoing participation at higher levels of competition, with further events scheduled.

Nudgee Golf Club to Host Queensland Junior Amateur Championship

Nudgee Golf Club will host the Queensland Junior Amateur championship for the next three years beginning this 2023. The venue, recently redesigned, also played host to the 2022 QLD – PGA Championship in November 2022.



The next Queensland Junior Amateur will see 162 players comprising 81 boys and 81 girls in action on Nudgee from June 27-30, 2023. This Golf Australia Order of Merit Event is conducted by Golf Australia Queensland for players under the age of 18 and is played over 72-hole stroke play.

Nudgee Golf Club general manager Darren Richards expressed his excitement over the announcement last November 2022. He stated that showcasing the course to these young players and providing them with a platform at their best is something that the club is passionate about.

The club also had the opportunity to host the QLD PGA last year, and by having to host the Queensland Junior as well, Richards said, the club can show the course is bringing golf full circle. He added that the Queensland Junior Amateur is a fantastic event to host and that he hopes it will produce some future major champions.

The last time the Queensland Junior Amateur was held was at the Bargara Golf Club which hosted the event in 2018. The four-day tournament played from 28 June to 1 July 2022 saw Dujuan Snyman and Haruhi Nakatini winning their respective championships.



Between 2014 to 2018, the 8 hectares (7 holes) of one of the club’s golf courses were resumed to facilitate the Gateway Upgrade Project. As a result, the Nudgee Golf Club underwent a two-year redevelopment which redesigned the course and turned it into two 18-hole courses.

The two courses namely The Kurrai and The Bulka offer unique challenges with the former being a championship course and the latter being a modern links-style golf course.
