Leishman said it was "amazing" that they were able to contribute to his fundraising efforts in some way.

"I want to thank the rest of the International Team for their contributions to the cause and I know all of Australia - and particularly the victims - will be very grateful," he told the PGA website.

"These bushfires are an ongoing crisis that continues to cut a devastating path right across Australia so support from the global community is crucial.

"It has been heartening to see the resiliency of the Australian people and to see the firefighters and volunteers from around the world coming together to continue this important fight.

"But the scale of the destruction is huge and it will continue to take a team effort from every corner of the globe as we look to the future.

"The fires are expected to burn through the Australian summer and coming months and the families who lost loved ones, homes and priceless memories will feel the effects for years to come.

"So too will our unique wildlife so all support is greatly appreciated."
