At the end of 2023, ten DPW Tour players obtained playing rights on the PGA Tour US:
– Adrian Meronk (Pol) – Ryan Fox (Nzl) – Victor Perez (Fra) – Thorbjorn Olesen (Dan) – Alexander Björk (Sue) – Sami Välimäki (Fin) – Robert MacIntyre (Eco) – Matthieu Pavon (Fra) – Jorge Campillo (Esp)- Ryo Hisatsune (Jpn) .
One year later, six players retain their playing rights on the US circuit: Macintyre – Pavon – Perez – Hisatsune – Väimäki – Fox .
The other players get a conditional card. (Adrian Meronk played in 2024 on the DPW).
20 top players have left Europe
At the end of 2024, ten other players will move to the West: Rasmus Hojgaard (Dan), Thriston Lawrence (Rsa), Paul Waring (Ang), Jesper Swensson (Sue), Niklas Norgaard (Dan), Matteo Manassero (Ita), Thorbjorn Olesen (Dan), Antoine Rozner (Fra), Rikuya Hoshino (Jap), Tom Mckibbin (Nir) .
If we take into account the 10 2023 players and the 10 2024 players, we have 20 fewer high-level players on the European Tour, what can we do in the future?
Are we moving towards a 1st world division (US), a second division (Europe), a 3e (Challenge)? …. We of course don’t have the answer, not to mention that talks between the LIV and the PGA are still ongoing.
The fact remains that in 2025, three French people ( Pavon, Perez, Rozner ) will evolve on the US Tour with complete maps and two others ( Barjon et Trainer ) with presumably conditional maps.
