The DP World Tour moves to Denmark with the Made in Himmerland at the Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort.
The previous two tournaments were won by Austrian Bernd Wiesberger, but he’s since become a regular on the LIV Golf Invitational Series, whose fourth event takes place this week in Boston. That means there’ll be a new champion this week as players look to impress Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald, who’s teeing it up in the tournament.
One former winner who is participating this week is Englishman Matt Wallace. He won a four-man playoff in 2018, edging out compatriots Steven Brown, Jonathan Thomson and Lee Westwood for his third European Tour win of that year, and fourth in total. Wallace hasn’t built on those victories since then, but he came desperately close to doing so in last week’s Omega European Masters. Wallace lost in a playoff to Thirston Lawrence in Switzerland, and he’ll be confident that this week could finally mark a long-awaited change in fortunes.
That victory for Lawrence saw him enter the top 100 of the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time, leaping 44 places to World No.87, and he’ll be hopeful of another strong display this week as he aims higher still.
Three other former winners – 2014 victor Marc Warren, David Horsey, who claimed the title the year after, and Julian Suri, who triumphed in 2017, also compete as they look to emulate Wiesberger with two wins in the tournament. Other notable names in the field include local favourites Thorbjørn Olesen and Nicolai and Rasmus Højgaard. Meanwhile, Scot Robert MacIntyre, who who finished runner-up in 2019, also competes.
There is double the prize money on offer this year, at €3m, with the winner earning €500,000. Below is a full breakdown of the prize money and field.
