He’d never won it before. In fact, heading into the final day, not many had him as the frontrunner. But in 2024, Nacho Elvira pulled off one of the most thrilling wins in Soudal Open history, finishing at 18-under-par (266). This was his 2nd DP World Tour win. He did it against a fiercely competitive field, holding off three players who were breathing down his neck till the final hole.

Elvira took down two of the biggest names in the field: Niklas Nørgaard and Romain Langasque were both top contenders who ended up on the final day. They weren’t far behind either; both carded 17-under (267), just one shot back. But it was Elvira’s day to claim the title. And now? It’s that time again. Soudal Open 2025 is nearly here, and the big names, including Nørgaard, Langasque, and defending champ Elvira, are all set to return. It’s one of the rare cases that anyone wins this title more than once. But can Elvira be the one to change this? To watch this, you need to get ready to book your spot. So, how can you grab yours?

Who could take home the title at the 2025 Soudal Open?

Elvira’s surprise win last year showed just how unpredictable the Soudal Open can be, and now the defending champ is back, ready to take another shot at the title. But this year, the field is stacked with some serious contenders like Thomas Pieters, the Belgian crowd favorite. Pieters has a solid track record on the DP World Tour, with multiple top-10 finishes at the Soudal Open in recent years. “T4 in Korea to finish. Game is in great shape, already looking forward to the @soudalopen in a couple weeks.” Pieters posted on Instagram; the player is definitely up for the challenge and prepared to rock the course, playing on home soil, he always feeds off the energy of the local fans, making him a real threat to lift the trophy this time around.

And then there is Francesco Molinari, no less a threat, the Italian major winner with experience that can’t be ignored. Molinari has won prestigious tournaments like the Open Championship in 2018 and consistently competes at the highest level, making him a formidable opponent. Will we see an underdog rise, or will history repeat itself with a familiar name? Only the fairways and greens at Rinkven Golf Club will tell. One thing’s for sure: this tournament is one you won’t want to miss.
