About Aiden
Australian golfer Aiden Didone competing on the PGA Tour.
Aiden Didone is an Australian golfer associated with Victoria and the Melbourne Sandbelt. He developed through the Australian amateur system before making a significant international breakthrough in 2019, when he won the Porter Cup at Niagara Falls Country Club in New York. The victory placed him among the Australian amateurs making an impact in a long-established North American event and followed his participation in high-level Australian amateur competitions.
Didone turned professional during the COVID-19 years and subsequently spent around 18 months competing on professional tours while working towards his first professional victory. His playing profile is that of a competitive stroke-play golfer comfortable in windy conditions and on firm, strategic courses. Golf Australia reporting has specifically linked his game to experience on Melbourne Sandbelt courses.

In 2024, he shared the first-round lead at the Vic Open after opening with a 65 at 13th Beach Golf Links. He later won a New South Wales Open qualifying-series event at Wollongong Golf Club, setting a course record and securing a place in the NSW Open field.
