The DP World Tour moves to Green Eagle in Germany for the Porsche European Open.
Last year, Finn Kalle Samooja mastered one of the longest courses in Europe to claim his first win on the Tour after beating Will Besseling by two shots, and both players are in this week’s field.
There are some strong contenders hoping to perform well in their homeland. One is Maximilian Kieffer, who won the D+D Real Czech Masters last August, while another is Marcel Siem, who has more recent success on the Tour following his win in February’s Hero Indian Open. Nick Bachem is another German who will be looking for the backing of the home crowd to inspire him after his four-shot win in the Jonsson Workwear Open in South Africa in March.
However, the player carrying the hopes of most local fans will be Yannik Paul, who won the Mallorca Golf Open in October and has two runner-ups finishes in 2023 so far. That’s left him well in contention for a place in Luke Donald’s European Ryder Cup team for the biennial event at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club.
Another player riding high in the European Ryder Cup Points List is Spaniard Jorge Campillo, who finished eighth at the Rome venue in the Italian Open and is a relatively recent winner on the Tour following his Magical Kenya Open victory in March.
Marcus Armitage closed out a two-shot win in this tournament in 2021, and he also plays, looking for his second DP World Tour victory. Two other Englishmen who’ve won the tournament in recent years are Richard McEvoy and Jordan Smith, who also play.
Others who will be keen to follow up recent successes include Swede Simon Forsstrom, who secured his maiden DP World Tour win in the Soudal Open two weeks ago, while SDC Championship winner Matthew Baldwin also plays.
With the likes of popular Scot Robert MacIntyre and Dane star Rasmus Hojgaard also in the field, the scene is set for four days of tough competition as players bid for a share of the $2m purse.
