The DP World Tour moves to Denmark with the Made in Himmerland at the Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort.
With just two weeks before the Open at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, this tournament will represent the penultimate event in the Open Qualifying Series with three spots on offer for the final men’s Major of the year at Hoylake.
With many players opting to rest before the Gensisis Scottish Open next week, a co-sanctioned event hosted by the PGA and DP World Tour, the Made in Himmerland field, therefore, does not feature any of the world’s top 50.
Last year saw England’s Oliver Wilson complete a shock one-shot victory over Ewan Ferguson to claim his first win since 2014 on the DP World Tour. The 42-year-old comes back to this event in fine form having finished T2 at last week’s British Masters at the Belfry.
The field will be topped by World No. 56 Pablo Larrazabal who looks to continue his fine season and maintain his bid for a Ryder Cup pick. The Spaniard has claimed victory in two of his last five events at the Korea Championship and KLM Open and may well be looking to make another case for a place on Europe’s team for September.
One of those players who already occupies a spot in the projected Ryder Cup team is Yannik Paul who is also participating in the tournament. The German is currently fourth in the European points list and bounced back well from his last-minute withdrawal at the BMW International Open to finish in T8 at the British Masters. Despite five top-five finishes, the World No. 99 has yet to win in his second year on the DP World Tour but will be hoping to break that duct this week.
For local fans, there will also be plenty to cheer on with the twins Nicolai and Rasmus Hojgaard both set to compete in their home event. Both are searching for their first Tour wins of the season with Nicolai recently finishing T21 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
This year will see the field compete for a purse of $3.25million with the winner taking home $552,500.
With the purse the same as the Italian Open earlier this year, here is the full projected prize money, payout breakdown and field for the 2023 Made in Himmerland at the Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort.
