The PGA Tour is stopping off at the must-see TPC Sawgrass course this week. The European circuit is back with a stage in Kenya where 14 French people are at the start. The LET continues a second test in South Africa with 8 Tricolores. We will also keep an eye on the performance of the only Frenchman involved in the Asian Tour in Thailand, Jérémy Gandon.
PGA Tour: The Players Championship, TPC Sawgrass (THE PLAYERS Stadium Course), Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida
March 9 to 12
Despite the absence of Tiger Woods but also of the defending champion Cameron Smith and the other exiles from LIV Golf, the Players will be an opportunity to once again find the gratin of world golf on the mythical Pete & Alice Dye course of TPC Sawgrass and its famous green on the island of 17. Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy…, the battle promises to be intense once again around the enormous prize money of 25 million dollars.
DP World Tour: Magical Kenya Open, Muthaiga GC, Nairobi, Kenya
March 9 to 12
After a week’s break, the DP World Tour players meet at Muthaiga GC, near Nairobi. Only two players from the world’s top 100, Adrian Otaegui and Robert MacIntyre, will travel to Kenya. Fourteen Tricolores including Antoine Rozner, Julien Brun, Romain Langasque, Alexander Levy and Julien Guerrier are to follow. While Tom Vaillant, third on the Challenge Tour 15 days ago, is among the guests this week.
