The PGA Championship ended on a high note with Brooks Koepka taking home a whopping $3.15 million in prize money. But golf fans don’t have to wait long to watch another exhilarating tournament. The KLM Open, also widely known as the Dutch Open, is currently underway in the beautiful village of Cromvoirt in the Netherlands. The tournament is the 22nd event of the DP World Tour’s 2023 season and is being played at the Bernardus Golf Course.
This European Tour event which was founded in 1912 was originally named the Dutch Open. However, with its changing sponsors the tour also had its name changed multiple times. It was finally named KLM Open when KLM served as its longest sponsor from 1981 to 1990 and then from 2004 to 2020. For 2023, KLM has a lucrative pay chart and players have a lot to fight for!

Though the European Tours may not be as hyped as the American Tours, that doesn’t take away the thrill it offers to the audience.
Among the 156 players fighting for the cup, the star players that will be vying for the victory include English golfer Eddie Pepperell, French golfer Victor Perez, England’s Jordan Smith, and Dutch professional golfer Joost Luiten. Each is just as talented as the other on the course, and hence the event promises the audience a scintillating experience over the weekend. Besides the stellar prize money, the KLM Open also offers other essential perks to make the competition more enticing.

This is a golden opportunity for players, as the winner will be rewarded with 18 Official World Golf Ranking points, a luxury still not available to the LIV golfers. Other benefits besides winning are similar to earlier perks – 2750 Race to Dubai points, berths to other events, and freedom on the European Tour for two seasons. Also by the end of the tournament, the player with the most Race to Dubai points wins that specific competition and the first prize it offers. Thus, lots of incentives to look out for.
But the starring highlight of the KLM Open this year is the visually challenged golfer, Ronald Beof, who is playing the tournament in what is an inspirational display of talent. He said he wants to be an example for the other handicapped people. As the commentator rightfully put it, “The great thing about golf…anybody can play.”
