Antoine Rozner reveals his schedule for the start of the season…

“Qualified” for the PGA Tour 2025 via the 2023-24 Race of the DP World Tour, Antoine Rozner is refining his recovery near Saint Donat (06), with his coach, Benoit Ducoulombier. Present at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open (December 19-22), he will then play the Team Cup (January 10-12) before continuing with two or even three tournaments in the United States.

L.V.

Antoine Rozner had previously chosen to take the start this week from Down Bank Golf Challenge (December 5-8) in South Africa but his tied 3rd place at the DP World Tour Championship and his “qualification” for the PGA Tour 2025 after finishing 15th in the 2023-24 Race have turned his calendar upside down.

The Racingman is currently fine-tuning in Saint Donat (06) with his coach, Benoit Ducoulombierhis return to competition which will take place in Mauritius for theAfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open scheduled from December 19 to 22 at Mont Choisywhere he won two years ago. We will then find him in Abu Dhabi for the Team Cup (January 10-12) with the continental team led by the Italian Francesco Molinari and in which will also evolve Matthew Pavon.

One would have thought that the proximity of the first Rolex Series of the year, the Hero Dubaï Desert Classic ($9 million) planned forEmirates Golf Club (January 16-19), encourages the Frenchman to stay a few more days in the United Arab Emirates. This is not the case. The three-time winner on the European Tour will begin his “career” on the PGA Tour at the same time.

Not sure if I'm in Phoenix…

It will thus be at the start of theAmerican Express in La Quinta (California) then will continue with the Farmers Insurance Open (January 22-25) at Torrey Pines. Two big performances in these two west coast tournaments could allow him to participate in the 2nd Signature Event of the season, theAT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (January 30-February 2). Otherwise, its presence at WM Phoenix Open (February 6-9) would perhaps be considered.

We use the conditional here because the main interested party is, at the time of writing these lines, still not certain of entering the field. As a reminder, six of the ten “promoted” from the 2022-23 Race on the DP World Tour had taken part in this very competitive tournament (including Victor Perez) with an endowment of $8.8 million.
