One week after the 2024 PGA Championship, the DP World Tour heads to Belgium this week for the Soudal Open at Rinkven International. Team Europe Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald will be in the field this week. He played all four rounds at the PGA Championship last weekend and finished well to make two-under par. Donald will be looking for his first top-10 this year having claimed 20T at the Dubai Invitational in January. Simon Forsström returns this week to defend his title. It was a rookie victory for the Swede last year who then recorded three top tens over the first five months. He is also looking for his first top-10 of the season after claiming a season high 21T at the Hero Indian Open in March. Adrian Otaegui will also be teeing it up in Belgium. He played 36 holes last week at the PGA Championship but was unable to progress to the weekend. The Spaniard will hope to find the same form which claimed him victory at the China Open three weeks ago.

  1. This thread is a testament to the power of conversation to inspire, educate, and uplift. It's a force for good in the world.😛

  2. It’s cool that some parents give them the chance to play in that setting at such young age, likely very wealthy but still cool. Also hope he gets that short game down. You could see lots of shots around the green that he could have played better. Nevertheless still very impressive work.

  3. There’s one view point of ‘if you’re good enough, you’re old enough’ but is this all too soon in his golf career?
    Not convinced that youngsters should be playing in adult competition. Not sure I see what he’s gained from being 20 shots off the lead.
