Australia is awesome and in a perfect world it absolutely "deserves" a premier event. It has some of the best golf courses in the world.

But it's smaller in population than Texas. It's premier event might pull a few thousand people more than a small PGA event. Those couple thousand people don't make up for the tv revenue drop from having the final round end at 3am et.

Plus travel would be kinda difficult. The tour would probably charter a plane, but it wouldn't be able to leave until after the final round on a Sunday. Fly all night then hit the ground running. Then fly all the way back. That means the big names would probably miss both tournaments bookending the Australia event.
