Here are all the biggest concerts and tours coming to Australia in 2023

From massive stadium tours to intimate shows, here’s NME’s roundup of concerts set to hit Australian shores throughout 2023

Australian live music fans were spoilt for choice in 2022: with borders finally reopened globally, we saw hundreds upon hundreds of artists make their way Down Under for some much-welcomed gigging. Whether they were filling out stadiums for titans like Billie Eillish and Dua Lipa , or flocking to more intimate gigs at their nearest local, Australian crowds welcomed a stellar batch of touring artists with open – and likely flailing – arms.

Heading into 2023, the touring landscape only grew more chaotic – there’s been no shortage of enormous stadium and arena tours from pop and rock icons, as well as theatre and club runs from our indie favourites. The second half of the year is positively stacked with drool-worthy gigs, from pop heavyweights like Charlie Puth  and Lizzo , to rock and punk favourites like Evanescence , Thrice and Ghost .

There really is something for everyone on the calendar, so with that in mind, NME has compiled a roundup of the biggest tours, concerts and gigs set to hit Australian shores throughout 2023.

Download Festival Headliners Korn Promise To Return To Australia For A Full Tour

By Emmy Mack

Here’s some good news for Korn fans spewing that they couldn’t make it to Melbourne last weekend to catch the nu-metal lords blowing minds at their sole live gig on Aussie turf headlining  Download Festival : frontman Jonathan Davis has promised they’ll be returning to our shores for a full tour.

And we shouldn’t have too long to wait.

ICYMI: speaking with Music Feeds pre-Download, the dreadlock-pioneering scatter revealed that the band has plans to boomerang back down under for a longer stay after their next record is dusted.

“We only had time to come and do the one show [this time], and I apologise — we apologise,” JD said. “But we’ll be back to do a proper tour of Australia as soon as Korn is done making the next record.

“It’s just the way it is. We’re in the middle of making a new record, and it’s just how it ended up, our agent obviously handles everything so it’s out of our hands. But we definitely want to come back because I love Australia, I’ve played everywhere there and I’m kinda bummed I’m going to be missing my favourite places  [this time].”

Reflecting on his love for ‘Straya, Davis added: “It’s just a cool vibe there. I love the culture there, I love the Aboriginal culture, I go there and I buy boomerangs and I buy didgeridoos and I play one, too.

“I know it sounds cheesy (laughs) but I like it, as an American it’s pretty cool. I like the Aboriginal art… and just the people are just really cool.

“Every town offers something different,” he continued. “I mean, I remember going to Melbourne and I remember I was there when the Crown Casino opened — I remember the opening night of that place (laughs) like it’s just so random. I love going to the Gold Coast, and I remember hanging out there and going to the Australian Open one time, and hanging out with all the tennis players… I’ve had good times there, some really good memories.”

Meanwhile, exactly one week after tearing up the stage at Download, JD has justunleashed the twisted second single from his forthcoming solo debut, Black Labyrinth .

Give it a spin below, or c atch our official review of Korn’s set at Download Festival Melbourne 2018 right here.

Coming out of California, USA, Korn are one of the most influential bands of the past thirty years. Since forming in 1993, they effectively created the genre of Nu-Metal and are one of the biggest heavy metal bands in the world to this day.

The band was formed out of three members of the experimental thrash metal band L.A.P.D. When that band broke up the remaining members, or at least the ones still talking to each other, drafted in vocalist Jonathan Davis and guitarist Brian “Head” Welch and heavy metal history was made.

They instantly made a splash, legend has it that they even drew a crowd outside the studio they recorded their demo tapes in, since their music was so thrillingly different to anything being released at the time.

By 1994 they’d released their self titled debut album, which remains one of the most influential rock albums of the 1990’s and has sold 10 million copies in the years since. This is especially astounding considering that in terms of lyrical content and musical style, Korn were up their with Nirvana in terms of sheer darkness.

The music can get very difficult to listen to at points, with Davis bravely opening up about childhood traumas with unflinching honesty, all the while backed with Welch’s dissonant, wrenching guitar riffs. With that in mind, their astronomic sales and influence becomes a testament to their ability to connect with the lost and distraught more than anything else, and if that’s not a truly inspiring thing then I don’t know what is.

Korn might not be the most critically acclaimed band around but the figures and the fans speak for themselves, and no matter what Pitchfork might think, they speak louder than anything else in the world of rock and roll.

Live reviews

Korn: a full circle experience, crop or otherwise and on beyond! When I first saw Korn my husband suggested going to their concert back in 1998. Neither one of us knew much about them or their music at the time and what I knew did not make me feel stoked about going at the time other than to keep Steve company. I was certain I would be bored to death and how happy I am to say how wrong I was! I did a complete about face within the course of one night and now want to see them every time they come to our area. Up to now we have seen them about thirteen times all told as well as singer Jonathan Davis on his solo tour when I won our way in to it with a meet and greet! Davis knows how to work the crowd encouraging audience participation. Not only that, but I enjoy his soulfulness and expression and how his voice alternates between singing, whispering and shouting during different songs and moments. His bag piping intro to "Shoots and Ladders" is one part of any given concert of theirs I look forward to at the concerts. As we have been to their concerts on and off over the years, we have seen them in different forms with a couple members coming and going over the years, one of whom returned to the band within the last year. Before his departure after the first seven albums drummer David Silveria provided the band with his funky back beat and style. After he resigned from the band Davis whose main instrument was originally drums, contributed in that department along with tapping Terry Bozzio from new wave band Missing Persons for Korn's 2007 album "Untitled." While on the road Korn borrowed now-former Slipknot's Joey Jordison whose thrashy, cacophonous sound provided the perfect rhythm.

In 2008 Korn searched for a new permanent drummer during which former Army of Anyone's Ray Luzier auditioned and was subsequently hired after nailing multiple drum solos from their repertoire. With Korn's constant shape shifting of their brand of nu metal over the years, Ray with his highly versatile style was and is the perfect match for them. Bassist Reggie "Fieldy" Arvizu with his slap bass technique has said that he regards himself as a second percussionist within the band, thus complimenting Ray's drumming. Furthermore I get a kick out of how Fieldy sometimes seems to dance as he's playing, as if he were doing the cha-cha!

Prior to leaving in 2004 and later rejoining the band in 2013, Brian "Head" Welch was one half of the guitar section along with James "Munky" Shaffer. In 2004 Welch left the band to raise his daughter during which time he also became a Christian. Throughout those interim years Korn experimented with other styles and sub styles including dub step and Shaffer expertly played both guitar parts on recordings and the road, although Korn also used hired guns in both areas to play the second guitar part at times. When listening both in concert and to albums from different points in their career, though, one notices that the guitar passages are more nuanced with two in the lineup. Furthermore, diehard fans across the board welcomed Welch back with thunderous applause and loud cheers when I saw Korn last year. Through the years at every concert I have attended Korn have always delivered the goods whilst firing on all cylinders. In addition to amazing props and backdrops used show by show, they put slightly different spins on their performances whether they are in a smaller venue with a more intimate setting or a bigger arena where getting caught up in the hoopla becomes highly infectious! It is interesting to note as well that Davis does not tend to chat up the audience to a high degree; rather the band segue their way into songs one by one all but nonstop. And nothing could be better than a meet/greet opportunity with the band to make for a grand night out!

The first time I saw Korn was at Slipknot's Prepare for Hell Tour in January 2015. Unfortunately, I'd arrived late for the first band but made it in time just as they walked off stage and twenty minutes later, the Kings of nu-metal took over the stage. I'd been getting into Korn a few months before, and we honestly more excited to see them than Slipknot - and they didn't fail to disappoint, blaring out all their hits for 40 minutes. I remember wanting/needing to see them at a full concert and a few weeks later, I was giving the opportunity to see them again at Brixton. I snatched the tickets up and counted the days down until they day arrived.

And arrived it did.

We arrived an hour before the doors opened, and the que was already bending round the corner of the building. Finally, an hour and 10 minutes over the opening time later, we were allowed inside.

My friend and I were in the unreserved seating. As soon as we cleared through all the checkpoints, we made our way to the front, climbing over rows. Three rows from the front, we found our seat with a good birds eye view of the stage. We waited with anticipation through the first two starter bands, eager for the main event to start. Finally, and after a few teasers, Ray Luzier came on stage to start of the night with Blind. The crowd cheered, and adrenaline pumped through everyone's veins as Fiedly appeared on the bass. Finally, the three words growled out from Davis's mouth "Are you ready?" and the unforgettable night begun.

Korn blasted their way though their first debut album, released 20 years ago and tonight was all about celebrating the release of an album that changed the world. Every note was perfect, and Davis's voice boomed through the speakers and pierced through our souls. The album ended with the emotional 'Daddy' before Davis slammed the microphone down; walking off the stage. The lights dimmed and everyone cheered and clapped.

A minute later, the iconic microphone was brought on stage and the band reappeared to play us two hits (Falling Away From Me and Here To Stay) before ending the night out with Freak On A Leash.

Out of 10, I'd give this concert a 1,000. One of the best bands I've seen live to date, and it defiantly won't be my last.

I went to KoRn with my dad. I promised him every time KoRn plays in the Netherlands we would go.

So I was happy I found out they were playing in Utrecht. I go to school there so I knew it wasn't that far away.

This was my first time in TivoliVredenburg. I read some bad things about the service. So I was a bit worried.

The service was good! I've never been treated so good as a person in a wheelchair. They helped with everything!

So as we say in dutch: "petje af Tivoli!"

The band before KoRn wasn't that good. I actually hated it. There was a little moshpit, someone got hit, everything stopped.. boring..

Then KoRn started! It was a great opening, very intense..

They played some songs they didn't play for a long long time, like 4U. Of Course the bagpipe solo was amazing and Ray's solo as well!

The only thing I didn't like was seeing Jonathan Davis wearing an oxygen mask.. I don't know how he's feeling right now.. I Hope he's okay and is enjoying the rest of his tour!

KoRn thank you for the great show, this was really the best show I ever been to! (4th time)

My husband and I attended Korn's show, October11th in Tampa, Florida. They played for 2 electric hours and played songs they knew the fans would love to hear and they hit their mark. In the mix of their song set, they played 3 of their new songs from their upcoming album, The Serenity of Suffering due out October 21st and if that was a small taste of what's to come....our taste buds are sure to be satisfied for sure! This group has been together for over 20 years and they keep making amazing music. JD was clearly having as much fun on stage as we did as fans, dancing, interacting with the crowd and guitarist, Munky, Head and bass player Fieldy. Ray is a master on his massive drum set and I dare you to try and keep up with your eyes and his hands as he's pounding those skins. If your a true fan, you wait and hope to hear that first note of JD breathing air into his magical bagpipes, and as witnessed at last night show and shows of the past, it was no exception. Once you hear that first note from his pipes, there's only one thing you need to ask...Are You Ready!!!!

Seen Korn many times in the past. Thinking it's been 5+ times so far. I'm a big fan , no doubt, but each time the playing time has dwindled to 45 minutes and getting smaller. Granted they weren't headlining and Slipknot was, but still... The production and music was great, but its seems that ever since the old bass player came back they have been playing mostly songs off the first couple of albums. I definitely like those songs, don't get me wrong, but I think it would do them good to take some statistics from Spotify or the like and determine what the top 15 songs being listened to are. Also, I love loud music. Love it! BUT you will be deafened by this concert. For once I brought ear plugs and it saved me. Sounds stupid , but consider yourself warned. I mean the "Marshall stacks" and the speakers hanging on either side of the stage looked like arena side burns. Think they may be growing! ha!

Korn was Great as always ,I was kind of suprised that they place wasnt packed.The deadest Korn concert I have ever gone to.But it could be the Venue .Not the best venue in my opnion .One dont dare forget to get your ticket from your spouse or they wont let you back to your seat ..and 2 if you go out one way you wont be able to get back the same way necessarily like what happened to me.They wont let you. .Knotfest was packed and alot crazier then this place but I never got asked for my ticket to get back to my seat.Considering people were seat hoping all night anyways and they upgraded a bunch if not all the lawn area to seating ..Pretty damn dumb .I figure if I own a seat and someone sits in it.I just get it back .Pretty damn strict for a place that has never really been a popular venue and sure wasnt packed last night .

With their sound system and great instrumentation all locked into a great groove, Korn are better than they ever were before! As to any wild antics, the one that stood out that was unfortunately unfavourable entailed a nasty woman whom I called out after she attempted to shoehorn her way up to the front where I'd staked out a spot and then subsequently attacked my husband. Hiccups of that nature along with a moderate delay with no explanation nonetheless paid off, in particular with Jonathan Davis as he serenaded us on the bagpipes upon kicking off 'Shoots and Ladders'! Not only that but the pre-concert meet/greet was super as was a little recognition in the form of a point and smile from Munky Shaffer up front toward the end of the night!

Terrible show and a massive disappointment.

There were no warnings before entering the venue about use of strobe lights, and I didn't see any signs indicating use of strobe lights at all. As a result, I was caught off guard by the use of the strobes and felt sick for a couple of days afterwards.

The show itself used a lot of strong coloured lights to illuminate the stage too, which combined with the smoke machine, as someone who is colour blind meant that I could not see the stage for 80% of the show. The times I could, my eyes were hurting too much from the strobes to see anything.

So overall, it was a massive let down for a band I have wanted to see live for many years.

Korn is a teenage crush, and a trip to the good old years everytime I listen to them.

I saw them around 2005 in Portugal in a festival, and it was an amazing experience. Easily one of the heaviest concerts I've ever been, the mosh pit was insane if that's what you're looking for. The look of the band is great, with Jonathan's signature microphone, and with cages with dancer girls in, creating a really cool atmosphere.

Their music is as good live as it's on album, and their sound matured to be more eletronic and more new age, but for me this is still focused on getting back to the classics and listening to those really heavy songs they had, that made me in part who I am today.

Wow. What an amazing concert! The venue was decent (The Fillmore) but there is little seating available, so be aware.

As for Korn, it was the twentieth anniversary of their debut album and they played it in its entirety. There are some sound bites of out takes on the album that they included, as well. It was kinda cool because they replicated the album exactly as you hear it. After they went through that playlist, they did another 4 or 5 popular songs, so it wasn't just the album. You can search the set list online. Apparently it changes from concert to concert.

It was my second time to see Korn )first time as a headliner) and it was definitely worth it!

What to know about the 2023 Korn Ferry Tour Championship, the last at Victoria National

NEWBURGH, Ind. — This week will mark the final professional golf tournament at Victoria National for the foreseeable future.

The 2023 Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance returns to the Evansville area from Thursday to Sunday. It is the 12th year Victoria National has hosted an event on what is now the Korn Ferry Tour. Following a change in 2019, it is also the final stop on the tour's schedule.

In addition to it being the final year at Victoria, the tournament also has a new format. Here is what you need to know for this week's Korn Ferry Tour Championship.

Korn Ferry Tour: Championship will leave Victoria National Golf Club in 2024

Why is it the final tournament at Victoria National?

It was announced in February the tournament would relocate to Pete Dye Course in French Lick starting next year.

There has been a professional golf tournament at Victoria National since 2012. The first seven years were played in the spring or summer under the names United Leasing Championship (2012-15) and United Leasing & Finance Championship (2015-18). The Korn Ferry Tour moved its season-ending tournament to Victoria National the following year.

Dormie Network, the owner of Victoria National in Newburgh, exercised its ability to leave a 10-year contract in its fifth year. The event is locked in at French Lick through at least 2028. Dates won't be set until after this season.

"It just didn’t fit their model," United Leasing & Finance Executive Chairman Ron Romain said in February of Dormie Network's decision. "French Lick was on our radar from the get-go because we knew the caliber of golf course they had. It's important to me that we have some major sporting event (in Southwest Indiana)."

What is the tournament schedule?

The Korn Ferry Tour Championship is Thursday-Sunday. Tee times are scheduled for 7:30-9:45 a.m., split tees in groups of three, with tournament play over at approximately 3 p.m. each day.

The Pro-Ams were on Monday and Tuesday. The Tri-State Varsity Shootout involving area high school golfers was conducted Monday.

How can I watch or purchase tickets?

General admission tickets are available each day for $20 online or at the tournament . Hospitality passes are available through the Korn Ferry Tour Championship website. Children under age 17 are not required to have a ticket for general admission per the website but are required to have a ticket to enter a hospitality area.

Parking will be available at Friedman Park for a $5 donation. No passes or credentials are required.

The first round will have television coverage starting at 1 p.m. CDT via Golf Channel and Peacock. The second and third rounds start at 11 a.m. The final round has coverage on Peacock starting at 11 a.m. and Golf Channel at noon.

What is at stake?

Unlike previous seasons, the championship doesn't have a separate points list. The top 30 through the entire season will earn PGA Tour cards. A handful of spots were already clinched through the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship in Columbus, Ohio, two weeks ago.

The No. 1 player on the season-ending points list earns fully exempt PGA Tour status for the 2024 season and qualifies for the 2024 U.S. Open and The Players Championship. Ben Kohles is currently the top points leader at 1,795. Those ranked from No. 2-30 begin the season in a Korn Ferry Tour graduates category.

Those from 31-60 on the final list earn direct access to the final stage of PGA Tour Q-School. The remainder begin Q-School at the Second Stage unless otherwise exempt via an alternate category. All players who qualified for the Korn Ferry Tour Championship are fully exempt for the 2024 Korn Ferry Tour.

Players to Watch

The field will feature 73 players, as Grayson Murray and Nicholas Lindheim will not compete.

The top six on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List are scheduled to play: Kohles, Chan Kim, Rico Hoey, Ben Silverman, Alejandro Tosti and Pierceson Coody. The latter two are the highest-ranked players on the Official World Golf Rankings with Tosti at 100 and Coody at 106.

Those around the coveted top 30 mark include Chase Seiffert (28), Shad Tuten (29), Jackson Suber (30), Roger Sloan (31) and Wilson Fuff (32).

Luck secures status on Korn Ferry Tour in 2023

West Australian Curtis Luck has earned eight starts at the beginning of the Korn Ferry Tour season after finishing tied for 12th at Final Stage of Qualifying School in Georgia.

A winner on tour two years ago at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship, Luck’s exempt status expired at the end of the 2022 season, a season in which he had just one top-10 result and ended the year 96th on the points list.

That necessitated a return to Q School where he successfully secured starts in the first eight events of the new season.

Season solidified 💪 The top 40 and ties have earned guaranteed starts for 2023. pic.twitter.com/XlBPtFodQB — Korn Ferry Tour (@KornFerryTour) November 7, 2022

Just two strokes off the lead following Round 1, Luck was never far from the top 10, moving up three spots in Monday’s final round with a two-under 69.

Medalist Bo Hoag earned fully exempt status for the 2023 season while those who finished between second and 10th are guaranteed entry into the first 12 events and are exempt from the first two reshuffles.

Luck was in the group of 11-40 on the leaderboard who will have eight events to make an early impression while fellow Australians Dimitrios Papadatos (72, T59) and Aaron Pike (WD after three rounds) have conditional status, earning their way into Final Stage courtesy of their finish on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit.

2023 Korn Ferry Tour final points list: Which 30 got PGA Tour cards?

With the conclusion of the 2023 Korn Ferry Tour Championship , the Korn Ferry Tour season ended, settling the fate and priority order of 30 PGA Tour cards for the 2024 PGA Tour season, which begins with the 2024 The Sentry.

Players competing on the Korn Ferry Tour spent the whole season accumulating Korn Ferry Tour points. Winners of the regular-season events earned 500 points with a win, and that figure increased to 600 points in the four Korn Ferry Tour Finals events.

At the end of the Korn Ferry Tour Championship, the top 30 players in points earned PGA Tour cards.

The winner of the season-long race is fully exempt for the season ahead and get a spot in The Players Championship. Ben Kohles won the list of Korn Fetty Tour grads, so he is the only players NOT subject to the reshuffles in the PGA Tour priority order every six or so events. He is in his own priority order category for the season, ahead of the other graduates. Every other player is subject to the reshuffle.

2024 Masters: Round 3 tee times

Tee times are now available for the third round of the 2024 Masters Tournament. (Credit David Cannon/Getty)

Change Text Size

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Third-round tee times have been released for the Masters. Max Homa and Bryson DeChambeau will play in Saturday’s final group at 2:45 p.m. ET.

Scottie Scheffler, who’s tied for the lead with Homa and DeChambeau, will tee off 10 minutes earlier alongside Nicolai Højgaard, the Dane who was the youngest player in last year’s Ryder Cup and closed 2023 by winning the DP World Tour Championship. Scheffler is seeking his second Masters win in the last three years. He recently won his second consecutive PLAYERS Championship.

Cameron Davis, a member of the 2022 International Presidents Cup Team, will tee off alongside Collin Morikawa in the third-to-last group. They’ll be preceded by Ludvig Åberg and Matthieu Pavon, the Frenchman who won this year’s Farmers Insurance Open.

Other notable groups include:

• Tiger Woods, Tyrrell Hatton (12:45 p.m. Eastern). The five-time Masters champion Woods has set the record with his 24th consecutive made cut at Augusta National, and he now seeks a climb up the leaderboard for a chance to match Jack Nicklaus' record six green jackets come Sunday. Woods trails the lead by seven strokes into Saturday.
• Patrick Cantlay, Neal Shipley (a) (12:15 p.m.) Ohio State's Shipley has secured low amateur honors as the only of five amateurs in the field to make the cut. He'll play alongside world No. 7 Cantlay, who is still seeking his first major title. Cantlay is eight off the lead, with Shipley nine back.
• Akshay Bhatia, Shane Lowry (12:05 p.m.) Fresh off a victory at last week's Valero Texas Open that secured his first Masters berth, Bhatia kept the good times rolling with rounds of 72-75 to make the cut with three strokes to spare. He'll play alongside a popular Irishman in Lowry, also nine off the lead into the weekend.
• Sahith Theegala, Phil Mickelson (11:25 a.m.). Perhaps two of golf's most creative shotmakers and California natives, both enter the weekend at 4-over 146, trailing the lead by 10 strokes. Theegala finished ninth last year in his Masters debut; Mickelson is a three-time Masters champion.
• Joaquin Niemann, Min Woo Lee (11:05 a.m.). The effervescent Lee has quickly become one of the game's more colorful characters, and he carded 74-74 to make the cut despite a broken finger that he suffered in a gym accident less than two weeks ago. Lee and Niemann both trail the lead by 10 into Saturday.
• Rory McIlroy, Camilo Villegas (10:55 a.m.). Many eyes will be on McIlroy early Saturday, which he'll begin 10 strokes back, as he seeks to make a heroic run toward his first green jacket, which would complete the career Grand Slam. He'll play alongside a popular Colombian in Villegas, who won last fall's Butterfield Bermuda Championship to earn his first Masters berth since 2015.

Here are the full tee times for Saturday's third round:

Who Is Cameron Young's Wife? All About Kelsey Dalition

Golfer Cameron Young and his wife Kelsey Dalition share one son

While golfers may rely on their caddies for a successful game, Cameron Young has an even more important person by his side — his wife, Kelsey Dalition.

Young and Dalition got married between late 2020 and early 2021, and have since welcomed their son Henry.

Before he met Dalition, Young grew up in Briarcliff Manor, New York, and played golf at Sleepy Hollow Country Club where his father was the head golf professional. Young attended Wake Forest University and became a professional golfer in 2019.

Shortly after going pro, Young married Dalition at 23 years old. At the same time, Young’s professional career was booming. He made his Korn Ferry Tour debut in July 2020 and won his first professional tournament at the AdventHealth Championship.

The following year, Young was named the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year and made his Tour Championship and U.S. Presidents Cup team debuts.

After a second-place finish at the SGC-Dell Match Play tournament, Young played in his second Masters in April 2023. 

“I’ve been playing well. I feel like the result in Austin, I think, was more reflective of it than a lot of them before that, kind of early this season. But I feel like it’s been going the right direction, and [I’m] just excited to get the week started,” he told TenGolf in April 2023. 

As Young grows in his career, he has had his family beside him.

So who is Cameron Young’s wife? Here’s everything to know about Kelsey Dalition and her relationship with the pro golfer.

Though the young couple are private on social media, Young confirmed he got married to Dalition at 23 years old, dating their wedding to either late 2020 or early 2021. 

Young’s caddie at the time, Scott McKean, served as his best man. The two became close while attending school at Wake Forest.

McKean started caddying for Young in August 2020 when Young needed someone for the Albertson Boise Tournament, and after a few gigs, McKean joined Young’s side full-time. 

When Young needed McKean for a three-week run in September 2020, McKean fully committed. “He called me back an hour and a half later and had quit his job,” Young told Golf Monthly . 

“He’s giving up a lot to be away from home a lot, and not necessarily get to play golf, do other things he likes to do, but we have a great time,” Young said. “We have a lot of fun. It makes the travel and the long days a lot easier.”

Dalition and Young share one child, a son named Henry. Young said his son has helped him “forget about golf” a bit when he gets off the course and enjoy more family time.

"I have spent a lot of time with my family, my wife. We have a little baby, so spent a lot of family time, which has been great,” he told Golf Digest . “Honestly, they've been out with me the last couple weeks and it's been such a nice change of pace to be with them on the road.”

He continued, “I think it just keeps you a little fresher. You get off the course and you can kind of forget about golf a little bit, which is really nice." 

They live in Jupiter, Florida

The pair were living at Young’s parents’ house when they welcomed Henry. Young shared that while he was finding success as a professional golfer, the couple had yet to move into their own house.

“We've been living with our parents the whole time," Young told Golf Digest.

In January 2022, Young said he couldn’t yet afford a home in Jupiter, Florida, where many professional golfers live. However, in the following months, Young and Dalition were able to make the move.

"We said 'that's enough, we're gonna buy something,’ " he said in March 2022. "In Jupiter right now it's like open house Saturday, sold on Monday, so we closed on Monday of Honda [Classic] week." 

She supports him at golf tournaments

Dalition may be private online, but she doesn’t hesitate to show up in support of her husband during his tournaments — and even brings baby Henry along!

Following tradition, Dalition joined other golf wives during the 2022 President’s Cup where they supported their husbands as they played in the international tournament. 

She matched Young and the rest of the U.S. team in red, white and blue colors when they took on the opposing international team consisting of players from South Africa, Canada, Columbia, Australia, Chile, Korea and Japan.

In April 2023, Dalition and Henry joined Young on the golf course during the Par 3 contest prior to the 2023 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia where she participated in the tradition of wives caddying for their husbands.

Dalition and Henry once again joined Young at the Par 3 contest in April 2024 with Henry adorably hitting some golf balls alongside his dad.

She encouraged Young to debut a new look at the 2023 PGA Championship

As Young prepared to make his second appearance at the 2023 PGA Championship, Dalition encouraged him to debut a new, beardless look. 

“Honestly, my wife just kind of said, why don't you shave. It wasn't like ... I don't think I looked terrible. I don't know,” Young said at Oak Hill Country Club, where he was preparing for the competition, according to Golf Digest . “Yeah, I haven't been clean-shaven probably since our first son was born.”
