Italian Challenge Open

The Italian Challenge Open is a professional golf tournament on the Challenge Tour, played annually in Italy. The 2025 edition takes place from September 18 to 21 at Golf Nazionale in Sutri, a renowned Jim Fazio-designed parkland course known for its challenging layout. The tournament format consists of four rounds of stroke play with a field size typically around 156 players, including rising European talents aiming to secure DP World Tour cards. Qualification is primarily through Challenge Tour rankings, sponsor invitations, and qualifiers. The prize fund for 2025 is €300,000, with the top 20 in the Road to Mallorca rankings earning DP World Tour promotion. The event plays a vital role in the season-long Race to secure main tour status.
