CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Week 5 of the 2025 professional golf calendar features a trio of former Fighting Illini in action on the PGA TOUR, DP World Tour and Korn Ferry Tour.

PGA TOUR

Thomas Detry will make his fourth start of the season, teeing off this week in a PGA TOUR signature event at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in Pebble Beach, California.

Detry and playing partner Nikesh Arora, chairman and CEO of Palo Alto Networks, will tee off alongside Cam Davis and his partner Ping Duan at Pebble Beach in Round 1 on Thursday before playing Spyglass Hill in Round 2.

Detry has made three straight cuts to open the new year, including a T5 finish at The Sentry to open the month, and a T15 finish last week at the Farmers Insurance Open. He is currently ranked No. 57 in the Official World Golf Rankings.

DP WORLD TOUR

Adrien Dumont de Chassart is slated to make his second-consecutive start on the DP World Tour this week, teeing off at the Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship at Royal Golf Course.

In his last outing at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship, Dumont de Chassart opened with a 69, but missed the cut by two strokes after a Round 2 tally of 76.

KORN FERRY TOUR

Luke Guthrie is in action on the Korn Ferry Tour for the third-straight week, traveling from the Bahamas to Panama City, Panama, where he will tee off in The Panama Championship.

Guthrie opened his year with a T76 finish at The Bahamas Golf Classic at Atlantis Paradise Island, and is coming off a sensational finish – tying for fifth – at The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic at The Abaco Club last weekend. Guthrie’s finish at the Great Abaco Classic marks his best Korn Ferry Tour finish since a T4 at the Evans Scholars Invitational in May 2019.

Through his first two events, he ranks No. 12 on the Korn Ferry Tour points list.
