The DP World Tour’s European Swing is back in the Netherlands for the KLM Open.
This year, it’s happening at The International in Amsterdam, a venue not used since Sergio Garcia won five years ago.
Pablo Larrazabal, last year’s champion, returns to defend his title after beating Adrian Otaegui by two shots and earning $340,000.
The prize money has increased this year with a total of $2.5 million up for grabs. The winner will take home $425,000 while second place gets $275,000. Players are also eyeing spots on the European Swing table which offers an extra $200,000 and entry into the Genesis Scottish Open.
Fans might think it’s exciting that Nacho Elvira currently leads the European Swing standings thanks to his win at the Soudal Open against Thomas Pieters from LIV Golf.
Biggest Incentives:
One of the biggest draws of this tournament is that it gives two players who aren’t already exempt a chance to play in The Open at Royal Troon. This makes every shot count even more!
With all these incentives and high stakes, we can expect four thrilling days of golf action ahead.
