The 2025 Australian WPGA Championship and Gold Coast Festival of Golf have fallen victim to Cyclone Alfred, with both events cancelled due to the severe weather conditions. The Queensland Surf Life Saving Championships has also been cancelled as a precautionary measure. The cancellation of these major sporting events is a significant blow to the Gold Coast community, with golf enthusiasts and surf life savers alike affected by the cyclone's impact. Popular golf tournaments and surf competitions are often highly anticipated, but safety remains the top priority in the face of severe weather. Golf Australia and surf life saving organisations are likely to reschedule events once the cyclone passes.
