There’s more on offer than prize money. The Official World Golf Ranking has set the field strength at 140.23554, meaning the tournament winner will receive up to 24 OWGR points, roughly 17 percent. The runner-up must settle for 14 points. The winner will also receive a two-plus season exemption on the European Tour and spots at other key events.
The Open will carry a total of 3,500 Race to Dubai points, with the winner taking home 585. The player with the most Race to Dubai points at the end of the season wins the Race to Dubai and its first-place prize from a bonus pool of $6 million.
Field Overview of the Italian Open
The Circolo Golf Torino hosts a strong pack of golfers, headlined by World No. 61 Joaquin Niemann. The Chilean arrives after securing his career-best T-7 finish at the US Open and victory at LIV Golf Korea. After 36 holes, he leads the tournament after carding 64 and 63 on Thursday and Friday, respectively.
The World No. 29 Patrick Reed returned to the DP World Tour for the first time since March. Since the Joburg Open, he has started at the Masters, the PGA Championship, and the US Open, with the intent to “get back grinding” ahead of the tournament. He shot rounds of 70 and 67 here on the first two days.
Making his first defense was Adrien Saddier, but he missed the cut after shooting 72 and 69. His victory in Italy earned him his major championship debut at The Open last summer. Since earning his membership last year, Saddier has competed in 13 events on the PGA Tour but made cut in only 6. He also missed the cut at Shinnecock Hills last week.
“First time defending. I put this event in my schedule at the beginning of the year, and I’m looking forward to a good week,” Saddier told DP World Tour.
