The DP World Tour’s 2023 AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open is up and running at Hеritagе La Résеrvе Golf Club in Hеritagе Bеl Ombrе, Mauritius. This event, co-sponsored by the DPWT and Sunshine Tour, marks the final tournament of the calendar year and hence the Tour’s ‘Opening Swing’ phase. Ever since making its debut in 2015, the event has attracted some top golfers from around the world.
This year’s tournament had one-time major winner Louis Oosthuizen on the course as well as defending champion Antoine Rozner, who won last year’s title with a five-stroke lead to set a Tour record. As the 156-player field vied for glory over 72 holes this week, the tournament purse and the high stakes provided additional glamor to the DPWT’s final showdown for 2023.

Apart from the prize money and trophy, Oosthuizen will take home 11 Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points and 335 DP World Tour points. He will also get a chunk of the total of 3,000 Race to Dubai points on offer at the Open. Undoubtedly, this is something many of the big names had their eye on, considering the top eight players in the Race to Dubai standings will receive a split of the $6 million Race to Dubai bonus pool at the end of the season.
In addition to the top 65 players (the cutline after round 2) collecting their respective shares of the total purse on Sunday, the DP World Tour’s Opening Swing Order of Merit is also being presented at the event. That comes with a whopping $200,000 for the first-placed golfer in the standings.
