Romain Langasque criticizes the DP World Tour points scale

The now No. 2 Frenchman in the world rankings (76th as of December 16) believes that the number of points distributed this week at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open is too high.

Romain Langasque has risen… but not only in the world ranking where it reached its highest ranking this Monday, December 16 by rising to 76th place, still quite far behind Matthew Pavon (30th) but ahead Victor Perez (79e).

No, the native of Grasse is surprised by the number of points at stake in the tournament of the calendar year of DP World Tour this week in Mauritius.

Indeed, despite a relatively weak field of players – the best ranked in the world ranking is Antoine Rozner145th – the event will award 3,000 points.

What a field of players… The winner will still get 500 points for his victory!! Here’s why I hate the World Tour points system

Romain Langasque on X

Annoyed, Romain Langasque expresses his thoughts in a post on his X account. The 22nd in the last Race to Dubai would have liked to see the points scale evolve more fairly in 2025.

“2,000 points for each co-sanctioned stage, 3,000 points for regular DP Tour tournaments, 4,000 points for the 9 Back 9 tournaments, 6,000 points for the Rolex Series and 8,000 points for the last 2 tournaments of the year (the Playoffs). »

The Majors at 10,000

3,000 points is the minimum for a DP World Tour tournament but the gap with other tournaments is not significant enough for the Frenchman. In 2025, there will be 5,000 points at FedEx Open de France (a Back9 tournament), a Rolex Series offers 8,000 points while each Major will distribute 10,000 points.

Finally, the last two tournaments of the season, decisive for the number 1 place and accession to the PGA Tourrespectively offer 9,000 (Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship) et 12 000 points (DP World Tour Championship).
