Golf Italian Open 2023, off today at Marco Simone- Corriere.it

At the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Guidonia Montecelioat the gates of Rome, the Italian golf Open kicks off tomorrow, brought forward to May compared to previous editions because at the end of September, in the same club, scheduled the Ryder Cup. And these four days (ending on Sunday) will be the appetizer of the great challenge between Team Europe and Team USA, which will see various protagonists on the field in this Open.

Last year, the Scotsman won Robert MacIntyre, in the playoff against Matt Fitzpatrick: I have wonderful memories of that triumph – he says -, but it won’t be easy to repeat. Among the challengers, the Danish twins Rasmus and Nicolai Hojgaard, the other Dane Olesen, while among the Italians – there will be 16 in total – he will try to make his way Guido Migliozzi, running to join the Ryder team captained by Luke Donald (among the vice-captains also Edoardo Molinari). Ryder is a dream – said the golfer from Veneto -, now the tournaments are coming to put aside points and a call.

Tomorrow and after the first two laps, with the cut that will leave the first 65 classified in the race plus equal merit in 65th place. The prize pool will be $3,250,000, of which $552,500 will go to the winner. Live on Sky Sport Golf and streaming on NOW, even with a studio on the edge of the green.
