Frédéric Lacroix

Exemption at the end of 2026 (Race to Dubai tournament winner with prize money greater than $2 million)
The Racingman has just completed a very solid season after being mounted a year ago from Challenge Tour.

Also victorious in August (in the Czech Republic), the student of Benoit Ducoulombier did even harder than his colleague from RCF La Boulie above since it came from PQ3 of European Maps with a modest category 18. This success in Prague opens up much more tempting prospects for him. 50th of the Race, he will be at Down Bank Golf Challenge (December 5-8) then at Leopard Creek (December 12-15) and finally to Maurice (December 19-22) before breaking with the end-of-year celebrations…

A better category for Tom Vaillant

64th in the Race, the Haut-Savoyard, present in Abu Dhabi for the first Play-off of the DPWT, failed to qualify for the final where only the top 50 (top 52 in this case) were invited.

90th in the Race, the Riviera goes from category 15 to category 10, which will allow him to play all the Rolex Series in 2025. Absent since his missed cut in South Korea, we should see him again in the last tournaments of the calendar year (South Africa and Mauritius).

Alexander Levy
Category 15
Exemption fin 2025 (Top 20 Challenge Tour 2024)
Relegated at the end of 2023 for the first time in his career to the 2nd European division, Alexander Levy bounced back immediately thanks to an excellent season (six top 10, two 2nd places) punctuated by a 12th place at Road. Best Frenchman, he could, who knows, be at the start of the Hero Dubai Desert Classic (January 16-19). Tom Vaillant, who finished in the same place on the Road at the end of 2023, entered the field at the last moment…

Benjamin Hebert

Not entering the reduced field at the Nedbank Golf Challenge (60 players), the golfer from Vaudreuil will be at Leopard Creek and Maurice. He will thus get his season off to a flying start with four of the first five tournaments on the Tour calendar!

Very Bastien

Fourth in the Global Amateur Pathway Ranking, professional career in the process, Very Bastien22, had won a game category on the Challeneg Tour. Before finishing 7th in PQ3 of the European Cards.

Despite a 65 (-6) slammed in the last round of PQ3 des Cartes, the Northerner fell one shot short of the top 20 qualifier. He had already come close to the climb in Mallorca, taking 26th place on the Road (the first 22 validated their right to play on the DPWT). This category 19 will, however, allow him to make a few appearances at the highest level…

Sébastien Gros, the big comeback…

Robin Sciot Siegrist
Category 19
Exemption end of 2025 (players ranked 115th to 130th in DPTW, players ranked 126th to 150th FedEx Cup, players ranked 23rd to 32nd in Challenge Tour)
37th of the Cards, the left-hander of St-Nom-la-Bretèche will, like Félix Mory, be able to play a few tournaments on the DP World Tour in 2025. But his main objective will obviously be to integrate the 2026 European Tour with a more important category via the Challenge Tour 2025.
