Double glory on offer at Mauritius Open

The AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open will be played at the spectacular Mont Choisy Le Golf in Grand Baie, Mauritius, from 19-22 December.

A field of Sunshine Tour and DP World Tour stars are set to gather on the Indian Ocean island.

They’ll be playing for the double incentive of Mauritius Open glory as well as a host of opportunities open to the winner of the five-tournament Opening Swing, which forms part of the DP World Tour’s 2025 Race to Dubai.

The winner of the Opening Swing will earn a $200,000 bonus as well as exemption into the DP World Tour’s next Rolex Series tournament and to some of the Tour’s most historic tournaments, each offering increased Race to Dubai Ranking Points and the chance to qualify for the DP World Tour Championship.

This will be the second time that Mont Choisy Le Golf hosts the Mauritius Open following Frenchman Antoine Rozner’s impressive triumph here in 2022. His five-stroke victory remains the biggest margin of victory in the history of the tournament.

This year marks the eighth edition of a tournament that has showcased the strength of the Sunshine Tour and DP World Tour’s strategic alliance, and its power to create a global pathway for its champions to further their careers at the highest level of the game.

Every single former champion of the Mauritius Open is now a multiple winner on the DP World Tour, while several have also won on the PGA Tour. The tournament has also played host to Major winners, and Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup stars.

“The AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open is a proud example of our co-sanctioning success with the DP World Tour,” said Thomas Abt, commissioner of the Sunshine Tour.

“Its status as the final tournament on the Opening Swing and the elevated opportunities that come with this is testament to its phenomenal growth since it first teed off in 2015.

“We are extremely grateful to AfrAsia Bank and the many sponsors who continue to make this tournament such a success.”
