The DP World Tour moves onto Mont Choisy Le Golf for the Mauritius Open, the last of a four-week run of events co-sanctioned with the Sunshine Tour. The tournament returns to the schedule for the first time since 2019 following cancellations the previous two years because of Covid-19 restrictions.
Back then, Dane Rasmus Hojgaard edged out Italian Renato Paratore and Frenchman Antoine Rozner in a playoff for his maiden title on the Tour. However, he won’t be back to defend it this week, although the two men he beat are in the field.
The tournament is relatively new having only been established in 2015. Nevertheless, it is unusual that none of the former winners – including South Africans Dylan Frittelli and George Coetzee - are in the field this week. Still, there are some other notable names participating.
One is Oliver Bekker. The South African has had a string of top 10 finishes on the DP World Tour this year, including a tie for fourth in last week’s Alfred Dunhill Championship, representing a solid start since he graduated from the Challenge Tour in 2021. He has yet to convert one of those good performances into a victory, though, and will be eager to impress this week.
The field also boasts two of Team Europe’s Ryder Cup vice captains for next year’s tournament at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Cub near Rome. Dane Thomas Bjorn will be hoping to continue his fine form of last week after winning the Legends Tour’s MCB Tour Championship Mauritius. Meanwhile, Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts is searching for his first win on the Tour since the 2019 Amundi Open de France. LIV Golf player Laurie Canter and World No.56 Dean Burmester also play as participants aim to mark the final event in the Tour’s 50th anniversary year on a high.
The action takes place at a venue hosting its first international tournament - a par 72 course that opened in 2017 characterised by black volcanic rock, water, grassy surroundings and an island green on the 15th.
A purse of €1 million is on offer with €170,000 awarded to the winner. Below is the full prize breakdown and field for the 2022 Mauritius Open.
