However Justin Thomas, Hideki Matsuyama, Rickie Fowler, Russell Henley are here and in form Swede Ludvig Aberg will lead a strong contingent from the DP World Tour. 

The course has been revamped by Gil Hanse in 2022/23 to return it to it's roots in particular the 1941 US Open,  elevated greens were lowered, and resod with Bentgrass, bunkers removed, some replaced. The 2025 event's cut was even par, which is a realistic score, the course will provide a much sterner test than last week's -30 at Craig Ranch.

DP World Tour is in scenic Austria this week...EDIT >>>> Thursday TEE TIMES/ Live scoreboard

DP World Tour : Austrian Alpine Open Tee Times Leaderboard

The European Swing continues this week as the DP World Tour heads to a new venue for the Austrian Alpine Open presented by Kitzbühel Tirol.

Von Dellingshausen defends

German, Nicolai von Dellingshausen secured his maiden DP World Tour title 12 months ago after a putting masterclass on Sunday propelled him to a two-stroke victory. 

"I can't describe it, honestly. I'm a little bit lost for words right now," said the man who had recently returned from the HotelPlanner Tour. "I'm trying really hard not to cry. It's been such a tough journey the last two-and-a-half years with losing the card. It's all got me to this stage right here and now I'm here!"

Straka headlines on home soil

Ryder Cup hero Sepp Straka will tee it up on home soil for the first time since 2018, leading a host of Austrian stars looking to delight the home fans. 

Since that appearance at the Shot Clock Masters, Straka has gone on to become the first Austrian to win on the PGA TOUR, taking his tally of wins on that circuit to four and twice win the Ryder Cup but he is searching for a maiden DP World Tour title.

 “I’m very excited to return to Austria to play in my national open again,” said Straka. “It has been a number of years since I last had the chance to play in front of home crowds, and a lot has happened in that time. It’ll be a great opportunity to celebrate that success in front of family, friends and fans, and I’m really looking forward to it.” 

Straka was the second Austrian to play in the Ryder Cup after Bernd Wiesberger and the 40-year-old is also in the field after claiming his ninth DP World Tour win last month. 

A new venue

This week we head to a third first-time host in five events as Golfclub Kitzbühel-Schwarzsee-Reith becomes the 465th venue to stage a DP World Tour event. 

The mountain layout - one of four golf courses in Kitzbühel - spends much of the year covered in snow but is picture perfect in the spring and will provide a unique test this week.

 Viktoria Veider-Walser, Managing Director of Kitzbühel Tourism, said: "With no less than four golf courses on site, Kitzbühel is one of the leading golf regions in the Alpine region. Golf is a strategic strength of our summer positioning, and we have launched a clear quality offensive with targeted investments – for example in the golf and bike sectors.

Race for Swing glory

This week is the third event of the European Swing and at the top of the Rankings everyone is chasing down a trio of South African stars. 

Winner in Spain Yurav Premlall leads the way after also securing a top 30 in Belgium, while Soudal Open winner Richard Sterne comes next. 

Shaun Norris - who was solo second in Catalunya - is then next followed by Jorge Campillo and Marcus Kinhult. 

The winner of the Swing will gain entry into every event of Phase Two of the season - the Back 9 - and a US$200,000 bonus. The highest-ranked player on the Swing not already exempt will also win a place in the field at the Genesis Scottish Open, the second Rolex Series event of the season.

Veteran South African Richard Sterne wins Soudal Open..Final results

       DP World Tour : Soudal Open  Leaderboard 

With leader Zandar Lombard's bogey, double bogey, bogey late collapse, veteran South African Richard Sterne closed with birdie,eagle par to top the field 64 68 68 66 -18 for a 2 shot win over six players T2 at -16.

EDIT >>>>

Richard Sterne hit one of the shots of his life to snatch his first DP World Tour win in 13 years at the 2026 Soudal Open.

After fellow South African Zander Lombard had led comfortably for most of the day, Sterne timed his move to perfection with a stunning eagle - and almost an albatross - at the 17th.

That took him to -18 and challenged the rest of the leading pack to respond over the closing holes - and it proved too much to ask as Sterne won his first title since the 2013 Joburg Open, following a catalogue of injuries since.

He said of that spectacular approach: "I thought I was still behind, I thought Zander was still on 19 (under) - I wasn't really looking at leaderboards, to be honest.

"It was a long way for me, I had a five wood in the bag, I don't have a three wood, it was 276 (yards) and I needed to hit a little draw on there to get the distance. It just came out as good as I could, it ended up great - three, four feet away - and yeah, it was one of the best shots I've hit.

"It's been a tough ride. A lot of injuries, a lot of hard things that I've gone through but to get back in the winner's circle is... quite unexpected today, to be honest. I thought I was one behind playing the last but then got on to the 18th green and had a quick look at the board and was quite surprised."

Lombard dropped a shot at the 13th, cutting his lead to two as Marcus Kinhult and Marcus Armitage set the clubhouse target at -16. 

It was all change soon afterwards, though, as Sterne's booming second shot into the 17th was perfectly on line for an albatross - and while it came up four feet short of that rare achievement, the resulting birdie took him two clear as Lombard made a double-bogey at the 14th.

Sterne went close to a birdie at the last as well, tapping in for par to lower the target to a mark that ultimately proved unbeatable.

The 44-year-old has a titanium disc in his back, among a host of other surgeries which have wiped out several years of his career, and he said: "They were hard times, I didn't think I was going to get through a lot of them.

"Three wrist ops, a disc replacement, hip surgery, I've been through it all so I'm pretty happy. It's been very tough, the last couple of years, but there's been some signs of good things.

"One of the main goals was to win with my children actually seeing it - the oldest is 13 soon, it's been pretty much that long so it's nice to eventually let them see me win. And then I suppose just to prove to myself that I can still compete at this age, after all I've been through."

Si Woo Kim / Scheffler final pairing..Sunday at CJ Cup Byron Nelson.. Leaderboard, TEE TIMES..

   PGA Tour : CJ Cup Byron Nelson Tee Times Leaderboard

Golfing history assures us it's near impossible to follow a record round, nearly 59,with another low one. The answer for the reason why is worth a fair share of the gold in Fort Knox, however we are also sure it has to do with that 6 inch it golf course between our ears.

Si Woo Kim got to thinking about his big 5 shot lead on Saturday, and it took 3 straight bogey's 11, 12, 13 to give him pause for thought with his caddie who told him to slow down, and his mojo returned finishing with birdies and a -3 68 -21 for a two shot lead over "you know who" Scheffler, and Wyndham Clark both enjoying their pressure free days with 65's for -19.

The Korean sponsors CJ Group and the TV Network bean counters at CBS are happy. They have a their Sunday pairing, Scheffler and Korean star Si Woo Kim, both Dallas residents who practice round a lot together, on the easiest course, Craig Ranch, that they play all year making birdies galore.

Big Zander ahead on Sunday at Soudal Open...TEE TIMES, Live leaderboard

    DP World Tour : Soudal Open Tee Times Leaderboard 

Zander Lombard produced a brilliant birdie-birdie-birdie finish on day three to catapult himself into a three-shot lead heading into the final round of the Soudal Open.

The South African started the day in a share of the lead and while he quickly jumped clear, a wobble in the middle of the round allowed countryman MJ Daffue to join him in the lead after a 65 -15.

Lombard, however, was clearly not in the mood to be caught and his big finish saw him sign for a 66 and vault to -18 as he looks to seal a maiden DP World Tour title in wire-to-wire style.

Dane Jacob Skov Olesen, England's Ben Schmidt and Frenchman Tom Vaillant were at -14,  a shot clear of Swede Albin Bergstrom, Spain's Jorge Campillo, Englishman Andrew Johnston and South Africa's Richard Sterne all -13

Lombard has seven runner-up finishes on the DP World Tour, with five of them coming between 2022 and 2024, before he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament playing padel and suffered a seven-month layoff.

He could not keep his card upon his return but romped to a 13-shot victory at the Qualifying School Final Stage in November and will now be looking to complete his comeback in fine style at Rinkven International Golf Club.

“If I knew, I would have won by now,” he said when asked about getting over the line. “But I'm just going stick to my guns, stick to my strengths and keep ticking my box to stay in my bubble.

“That putt on 18 was kind of an awkward double breaker and to put a good roll on it and to see it go in, that makes you sleep a little better tonight and come out fresh tomorrow.

“You don’t deserve anything in golf but I think I've worked really hard for it. It was a very slow turn, around nine, ten, 11, 12, a couple of loose shots. So to have that three-shot lead after hitting a couple of bad shots, it's very nice going into tomorrow.”

Vaillant bogeyed the 14th but picked the shot back up on the 16th to sign for a 70, while Olesen and Schmidt both carded rounds 67 as all three search for their own maiden wins.

Bergstrom carded a 66, one better than Johnston and two better than Campillo and Sterne, with Nathan Kimsey in the group at -12 under after matching the low round of the week with a 63.

Si Woo Kim putts for 59, low scores at TPC Craig Ranch...36 hole results includes 5 Canadians

    PGA Tour : CJ Cup Byron Nelson Tee Times Leaderboard

I must preface this post by reminding you the heavy pre event rain in the Dallas area, benign weather and despite a $25m dollar facelift by Lanny Wadkins Design, TPC Craig Ranch is as easy a course as the PGA Tour plays, playing prefered lies makes it more like a big pitch and putt.

So while Si Woo Kim, a Korean living near Dallas for a Korean Sponsor, CJ Group, had a putt at the 18th for the 16th 59 in history, his 64 60 -13 sees him 5 shots clear of the pack at -13.

The rest, all posting mid-low 60's -8 include Sungjae Im, Kensei Hirata ?, Wyndham Clark, Jackson Suber? who all have 61's or 63's so it's no surprise if guys you have never heard of can do it, so can resident Scott Scheffler who had the course to himself with the record -31 last year. 

It's a bit of a joke, however I'm sure the field enjoys an easy week, after all the tough one's they have faced this year.

Canadians

T23 AJ Ewart 66, 67

T38 Taylor Pendrith 67 67 -8

T38 Mac Hughes 65 69 -8

T38 Ben Silverman 68 66 -8

T59 Adam Svensson 68 68 -7

M/C Adam Hadwin 75 66 

Expect the shootout to continue, this weekend, with more calm conditions, the shame of missing the cut for those at just -5 or worse.
