The Albatross Golf Resort in Prague hosts the D+D Real Czech Masters, as American Johannes Veerman aims to replicate his success of last year, when he claimed his maiden European Tour title by two shots over Tapio Pulkkanen.
The Finn held a one-shot lead going into the final round last year, but a bogey and double bogey on the final two holes allowed Veerman to take full advantage. Pulkkanen returns this year hoping to banish the demons of 2021 and claim his first DP World Tour win.
To do so, he’ll have to get the better of several notable players in the field, including World No.35 and 2019 winner Thomas Pieters and LIV Golf player Ian Poulter. Poulter will be a controversial figure in this week’s tournament as he tees it up while awaiting the verdict of a legal battle against the suspension of him and others who have opted to ply their trade in the Saudi-backed Series. Others who’ve played in the LIV Golf Invitational Series who are also competing this week include Oliver Fisher, Laurie Canter and Hennie du Plessis.
Players will be battling for a considerably increased purse from last year’s tournament. Back then, there was a €1m prize fund, whereas this year, there’s €1.75m to play for. Of that, the winner will receive €291,660.
Players will need to navigate a par-72, 7,468-yard course that features three par 5s, including the monster 603-yard 10th. The course, which opened in 2009, also features a challenging final hole, with its dogleg layout, a creek running down the right-hand side and a lake to the left of the green.
Below is the full breakdown of the prize money and field.
