Italy’s Andrea Romano claims back-to-back victory at New Giza
Egypt, March 1st, 2026 – Andrea Romano sits alone at the start of this season. Leading after 36 holes, the Italian signed a third consecutive 67 (-5) to claim back-to-back victories at the New Giza Open after his win at Red Sea Little Venice Open.
After a front nine of two bogeys and three birdies, the 25-year-old produced a flawless back nine, making four birdies between holes 13 and 17 to pull away from the field.
Ireland’s Robert Moran and Spain’s Mario Galiano Aguilar both carded impressive 66s (-6) on Sunday to finish tied for second, two shots behind. Notably, Galiano Aguilar records his third consecutive podium in as many events played in Egypt this season.
France’s Benjamin Kedochim and Alexis Leray, alongside Spain’s Pablo Alperi and Eduard Rousaud, share fourth place to round out the top five.
With this victory, Romano earns €6,200 and 6,525 Order of Merit points. He strengthens his position at the top of the rankings with 13,925.25 points, ahead of Mario Galiano Aguilar (9,787.50) and Robert Moran (8,088.75).
The players will return to action on Thursday April 9th, for the Villa Paradiso Alps Open, in Italy.
Round 3 Player Quotes
Andrea Romano : “It was a really tough day for me because I didn’t sleep well last night. I woke up several times and felt a bit stressed at the start, which showed early on with a bogey on the first and another one on the seventh. But on the back nine, I told myself to stay patient because I knew my game was solid. My putting was key today — when I’m putting well, I know I can be very competitive and put myself in contention. Starting the season like this is amazing, I couldn’t have asked for better start. Now I’ll reset, take a short break, and stay focused because the season is still long and it’s not done yet.”
Mario Galiano Aguilar : “It’s great to be in contention again. Playing in the final groups for three tournaments in a row is an amazing feeling. I’m very happy with my game at the moment, and I’ll try to keep doing the same in the upcoming events. Andrea played incredible golf and fully deserved the win. Now it’s about keeping the momentum going.”

In-form Andrea Romano takes the lead at New Giza
Andrea Romano continues his strong run. The Team T59 player, winner earlier this week of the Red Sea Little Venice Open, now leads the New Giza Open with 18 holes to play. He signed a solid, bogey-free 67 (-5) on Friday.
France’s Alexis Leray, already well positioned after the opening round, remains firmly in contention following a 69 (-3). The 2025 Qualifying School winner sits in second place, two shots behind the leader, alongside Spain’s Agustí Quinquilla.
Spain’s Mario Galiano Aguilar, who recorded two podium finishes in the opening events of the season, and Ireland’s Robert Moran are close behind, three shots off the lead.
For tomorrow’s final round, play will begin at 8:00 a.m. from the 1st and 10th tees. At the conclusion of the third round, the winner will receive €6,200 and 6,525 Order of Merit points. In the event of a tie, a playoff will determine the champion.
Round 2 Player Quotes
Andrea Romano : “I’m very happy because my game feels really solid. Even when I hit a bad shot, it’s never a big mistake. I usually stay on the right side, which makes it easier to recover and save par. I’ve also realised that when I’m putting well and feeling confident on the greens, I’m very comfortable out there and can keep a positive mindset throughout the round.”
Alexis Leray : “I’m quite pleased with my first two rounds. I had a really good putting day friday, while today was a bit more difficult on the greens. I missed several birdie opportunities, especially from short range, which could have helped me go lower.
That said, I’m very satisfied with my game and with how I’m playing overall at the start of the season. Apart from a difficult first round in the opening event, things have been going well, I’ve been consistent and I feel comfortable on this tour in my first season. I’m in a good position, and I’ll try to make the most of it to earn as many points as possible.”

Egypt, February 27, 2026 – In-form players made an immediate impact at the start of the 2026 New Giza Open, with Ireland’s Sam Murphy taking the early lead in Cairo after an impressive 65 (-7). The Ein Bay Open winner continued his strong start to the season with a flawless, bogey-free round.

Round 1 Player Quotes
Sam Murphy : ” My game felt really solid again — I drove the ball well, gave myself plenty of good opportunities, and hit my irons beautifully. Hitting all 18 greens made it a bit more stress-free, even in tricky conditions.
I’m absolutely delighted with the round. It’s a great way to start the tournament, and now the goal is to build on it with another solid, steady round tomorrow. We’ll see where that puts me, but I’m really pleased with how everything went today and I’m hoping to keep this form going.”

Alps Tour heads to Cairo for the 2026 New Giza Open
Egypt, February 26, 2026 – The Alps Tour players are set to return to action this Friday, February 27, for the third event of the season, the 2026 New Giza Open. The tournament will be held at the stunning New Giza Golf Club in Cairo and will run until March 1
This marks the fifth edition of the event, which was first introduced in 2019. Last year, Spain’s Javier Barcos claimed victory in a playoff against France’s Quentin Debove after both players finished tied at -17 over 54 holes. Barcos is now playing on the HotelPlanner Tour and Debove on the DP World Tour.
The tournament offers a prize fund of €42,500 and 45,000 Order of Merit points, with €6,200 and 6,525 points awarded to the winner. The competition will be played over 54 holes of stroke play, with a cut after 36 holes to the top 40 players and ties (excluding amateurs).
The Field
The first two winners of the season, Ireland’s Sam Murphy (Ein Bay Open) and Italy’s Andrea Romano (Red Sea Little Venice Open), will both be in the field, alongside all of the current top 20 in the Order of Merit.
Spain’s Mario Galiano Aguilar, currently third in the standings after two strong podium finishes, will be looking to go one step further this week at New Giza Golf Club. France’s Nicolas Calvet, who also came close to victory at the Red Sea Little Venice Open, will aim to continue his strong start to the season.
In total, more than 15 nationalities are represented in a field of 120 players, including 14 amateurs. Four Egyptian players will also be competing, eager to perform well on home soil.
The Course
Located southwest of Cairo, approximately 200 km from Sokhna Golf Club, New Giza Golf Club spans 200 acres and offers spectacular views of the iconic Pyramids of Giza. Designed by Thomson, Perrett & Lobb, this par-72, 18-hole championship course is carved from an ancient quarry, blending seamlessly with the natural terrain.
The layout winds through undulating desert landscapes with wide fairways, scenic lakes, and strategically placed bunkers. Large, rolling greens and elevation changes provide both challenge and playability, while elevated tees offer striking panoramic views.
For this week’s competition, the course will play at 6,711 meters, further establishing New Giza as one of the premier golfing destinations in the Middle East.

Italy’s Andrea Romano claims the 2026 Red Sea Little Venice Open after a thrilling final round battle
Egypt, February 24, 2026 – The final round of the Red Sea Little Venice Open delivered a highly competitive finish, with ten players still in contention within two shots of the lead. Thanks to an excellent closing round of 66 (-6), featuring seven birdies and just one bogey, Italy’s Andrea Romano made the difference at the right time to secure his third Alps Tour title, following his victories at the Alps de Andalucía–Roquetas de Mar and the Fred Olsen Alps de La Gomera last season. Having surged back into contention with a remarkable 62 (-10) in the second round, equalling the course record, the 25-year-old sets the tone for a strong start to his season.
Romano earns €6,200 and 6,525 Order of Merit points,
On the B&C courses at Sokhna Golf Club, France’s Nicolas Calvet and Spain’s Mario Galiano Aguilar applied pressure until the very end, eventually finishing just one shot behind the winner. France’s Benjamin Kedochim and Spain’s Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela shared fourth place, one stroke further back.
The players will return to action on Friday, February 27th, for the 2026 New Giza Open at New Giza Golf Club in Cairo.
Round 3 Player Quotes
Andrea Romano : “I made a solid start, hitting good shots over the first five holes, making two birdies and holing a chip on the fourth. My putting felt really good, especially after yesterday’s round of -10, which I believe was key to winning this week. After yesterday’s round, I just told myself to keep playing the same way, and it paid off. The closing holes were a bit tricky. I made a mistake off the tee on 15 and ended up making bogey, but I bounced back with a great birdie on 17. On the 18th tee, I knew it was very tight at the top of the leaderboard, so I decided to stay aggressive.
I’m really happy with this victory. I’ve realised that when my short game is in good shape, I can put myself in contention very often. Before coming here, I felt okay but not at my best. I had been watching videos of my swing and knew it was good, but I wasn’t feeling it on the course. My long game didn’t feel strong enough to win. But day after day, I became more comfortable and confident with my game.”
Nicolas Calvet : “I feel a bit frustrated, but overall it’s still a good day. I’m quite pleased with my game, especially going bogey-free again despite the windy conditions. I managed to stay disciplined with my routines and stick to my game plan for all 18 holes, which was my main objective. I just tried to remain patient and not get carried away. I did that well, but unfortunately I didn’t putt very well from two to four meters, which cost me a few shots — especially on holes 12, 16 and 18.
It’s still a strong result to start the season, and I’ll definitely take it. There are a lot of positives to build on. My ball-striking wasn’t exceptional in terms of feeling, but I kept the ball in the right areas, giving myself chances. Even with some average shots, I stayed in play and managed things well. All in all, it’s a better result than the sensations suggested, and a solid foundation for what’s ahead.”

Dutchman Lars Keunen takes the lead heading into the final round
Despite strong winds in the afternoon that led to a suspension of play for nearly 40 minutes, Lars Keunen moved into the lead just before nightfall. The Dutchman, who previously won the 2020 Ein Bay Open on the A&B courses at Sokhna Golf Club, signed a 66 (-6) on Monday.
Everything remains wide open at the Red Sea Little Venice Open. Spain’s Agusti Quinquilla and Josep Maria Serra Busquet sit just one shot behind the leader. A group of eight players — including defending champion Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela (Spain) and Andrea Romano (Italy), who fired a remarkable 62 (-10) earlier in the day — are two shots back.
Play was suspended due to darkness, and the cut will be confirmed on Tuesday morning. Following the completion of the second round, the final round will begin at 8:00 a.m. from both the 1st and 10th tees. At the conclusion of the tournament, the winner will earn €6,200 and 6,525 Order of Merit points. In the event of a tie, a playoff will determine the champion.
Round 2 Player Quotes
Lars Keunen : “It was a very solid round, with no bogeys on the card. The conditions became quite tricky after eleven holes, especially with the wind picking up following the delay. My game has been very strong from tee to green, giving myself plenty of opportunities. That’s key on this course, because without the wind, it can be quite scorable. I’ll probably need another low round tomorrow, and I’m really looking forward to it.”
Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela : “I’m coming off a bad first tournament, so it feels really good to have put together two solid rounds this week. I made a few small adjustments to my ball position and swing, and my driving has been very strong over the past two rounds. My approach shots have also been very consistent. Putting has been a bit mixed, I’ve made some good putts but also missed a few short ones. Overall, I’m very pleased to be back in contention and in a position to defend my title.”

Spain’s Serra Leads After Impressive Opening Round in Egypt
Egypt, February 22, 2026 – Playing in the morning wave, Filippo Grossi set the early benchmark with a superb 64 (-8), carding a bogey-free round. The Italian made a flying start with five birdies in his opening six holes, putting himself in a strong position from the outset.
In the afternoon, Josep Maria Serra Busquet went one better with a brilliant 63 (-9). The 22-year-old Spaniard, runner-up at last year’s Q-School, recorded nine birdies — four on the front nine and five on the back — to take the outright lead on the B&C courses at Sokhna Golf Club.
The Netherlands’ Lars Keunen, France’s Mathieu Prost, and Italy’s Davide Buchi share third place, two shots behind the leader.
For Round 2, play will begin at 7:00 a.m. from both the 1st and 10th tees. At the conclusion of the second round, a cut will be made to the top 40 players and ties (excluding amateurs), who will advance to the final round.
Round 1 Player Quotes
Josep Maria Serra Busquet : “My whole game was solid. I drove the ball well, hit my irons consistently, and made a few key putts at important moments. I stayed calm because I knew I was playing well and creating opportunities. I just tried to take advantage of that feeling and remain aggressive. I made five birdies on the front nine, and on the back nine I kept hitting driver, which worked out well. I’m very happy with today’s round.”
Filippo Grossi : “I felt really confident with my game, especially on the greens. Starting with five birdies in the first six holes helped me stay aggressive throughout the round. I’ll try to keep that confidence going into the next rounds.”

Sam Murphy Takes the Lead with a Bogey-Free 65
Egypt, February 18, 2026 – The leaderboard shifted significantly during the second round of the 2026 Ein Bay Open at Sokhna Golf Club. While the early starters enjoyed calm conditions, the wind strengthened around midday, making the course play significantly tougher.
Starting from the 11th tee in the morning wave, Ireland’s Sam Murphy, a graduate of the 2025 Q-School, made a sensational start with seven birdies in his opening eleven holes. He then played steady, controlled golf over the remaining holes, signing for an impressive bogey-free 65 (-7) to move into the outright lead.
Murphy holds a two-shot advantage over France’s Alexandre Vandermoten and fellow Irishman Robert Moran, who posted a strong 67 (-5) despite facing tougher conditions in the afternoon wave. Moran was one of the few players in the afternoon to record a score under par.
For tomorrow’s final round, play will begin at 8:00 a.m. from the 1st and 11th tees. At the conclusion of the third round, the winner will receive €6,200 and 6,525 Order of Merit points. In the event of a tie, a playoff will determine the champion.
Round 2 Player Quotes
Sam Murphy : I got off to a good start and knew the conditions would get tougher coming in, especially with the wind picking up over the last few holes. I tried to take advantage early and just play solid golf. I hit 18 greens and missed only a couple of fairways, so it was a really solid round. It never really felt like I was going to make a bogey. I struck the ball well, and even on the greens. I felt comfortable. It was a pretty stress-free round, which was nice. I’ll stick with the same game plan I’ve had all week. Hopefully the wind settles down tomorrow but it’ll be the same approach: play aggressive when I can and conservative when I have to.

Egypt, February 17, 2026 – The 2026 season is officially underway at Sokhna Golf Club, and it is France leading the way after the opening round of the Ein Bay Open.
Competing this week on an invitation, Antoine Auboin made an impressive return to competition after an injury, signing for a 5-under-par 67. His round featured seven birdies and two bogeys, setting the early target in the clubhouse.
He was soon joined at the top of the leaderboard by compatriot Victor Veyret, who produced a composed and blemish-free performance, carding a bogey-free 67 to share the lead after Round 1.

Victor Veyret – Round 1 – @AlpsTourGolf -3MIND – Raffaele Canepa
The two French players hold a one-shot advantage over a group of four players: Austria’s Lenny Koch, France’s Arthur Ameil-Planchin, Ireland’s Hugh Foley, and Italy’s Davide Buchi.
For tomorrow’s Round 2, play will begin at 7:00 a.m. from the 1st and 11th tees. At the conclusion of the second round, a cut will be made to the top 40 players and ties (excluding amateurs) who will advance to the final round of the tournament.
Round 1 Player Quotes
Antoine Auboin : I’m very happy. It’s really been a month and a half since I’ve been able to fully get back to practicing. I had a bit of apprehension, but in the end, the game is still there. I was able to stay patient and enjoy myself from start to finish. I really tried to hit as many fairways and as many greens as possible. And that’s what I managed to do.
Victor Veyret : It was a good round. Bogey-free is always a very nice feeling, to finish like that. I managed the par fives well today, with one birdie and one eagle. I worked hard this winter. I’m working with a new coach, so to see that my game is in better shape than last year is a good feeling.

25 Years of Raising Golf Stars: The Alps Tour Presents Its 2026 Season
Paris, January 23rd, 2026- Since 2001, the Alps Tour has been driven by a clear and consistent mission: to provide young talented players with the opportunity to build a solid professional foundation and use it as a springboard towards the highest levels of professional golf. Created and managed by the French, Spanish, Italian and Austrian Golf Federations, the Alps Tour has progressively established itself as one of the key development tours within the international golf ecosystem, fully aligned with its long-standing philosophy: Raising Golf Stars.
In 2026, the Alps Tour proudly celebrates its 25th anniversary, marking a quarter of a century dedicated to player development, competitive excellence and career progression. While commemorating this important milestone, the tour remains firmly focused on its founding objective and continues to offer a demanding, educational and international competitive environment designed to prepare players for the next stages of their professional journey. To accompany this anniversary season, the Alps Tour also unveils a new logo, symbolising both its heritage and its ambition to continue raising the next generation of golf professionals.
Marco Durante, Chairman of the Alps Tour Golf, said:
“The Alps Tour is run with passion by a strong team, with a very clear vision and great expertise. I am proud to serve as President, but nothing would be possible without the close collaboration within the Board, with our Directors Estelle Richard and Alessandro Pia, with the founding Federations and all our stakeholders. The strongest proof of this came in 2020, when we managed, against all odds, to complete a very difficult and turbulent season in the players’ best interest. Today, we know it was the right decision, and we are ready for new expansion challenges in the next future.”
A Proven Pathway for Professional Careers
Since its inception, the Alps Tour has visited 15 countries, staged 446 tournaments (excluding Q-School) and distributed more than €18 million in prize money, highlighting the tour’s stability, resilience and long-term contribution to professional golf.
Throughout its history, the Alps Tour has played a central role in the emergence of players who have gone on to compete and succeed at the highest level of the game. Golfers such as Matt Wallace (England), Darius van Driel (Netherlands), Nicolas Colsaerts (Belgium), Felipe Lima (Portugal), Matthieu Pavon (France) Victor Perez (France), Antoine Rozner (France), Guido Migliozzi (Italy) and Ángel Hidalgo (Spain) all used the Alps Tour as a key step in the construction of their professional careers, before going on to shine on the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour, clearly illustrating the circuit’s role as a pathway to the world’s leading tours.
A 2026 Season Built on Competition and Opportunity
The 2026 Alps Tour season will run from February to October, across six countries, featuring a total of 19 tournaments, with one additional event still to be confirmed. The season will offer a total prize money of approximately 900,000 euros, with a minimum purse of €42,500 per tournament for professional players, and a total of 45,000 points to be shared among all members, both professionals and amateurs, on each event. Once again, the calendar will combine tradition and new venues, competitive golf and international exposure, culminating in the Alps Tour Grand Final.
At the end of the season, the sporting stakes will be significant. The top five players on the Order of Merit will earn full playing rights on the HotelPlanner Tour. Also, six players will earn direct entry into the Second Stage of the DP World Tour Qualifying School, opening the door to the DP World Tour and confirming the Alps Tour’s role as a key pathway towards higher levels of professional golf.
From Northern Africa to Europe
As has been the case in recent years, the season will start in Northern Africa, with Egypt hosting the opening stretch of the calendar. For the 13th time in the past 14 years, the Alps Tour will begin at Sokhna Golf Club, with two traditional events played on the shores of the Red Sea: the Ein Bay Open (February 17–19), followed by the Red Sea Little Venice Open (February 22–24). Players will then move on to Cairo for the New Giza Open (February 27 – March 1), contested at New Giza Golf Club.
Before returning to the Egyptian capital for two further tournaments — the Dreamland Open (April 9–11) at Dreamland Golf Resort and the Allegria Open (April 24–26) at The Allegria Golf Club — the tour will make a stop in Italy for the Villa Paradiso Alps Open (April 9–11), played at Golf Club Villa Paradiso.
The European swing will officially get underway at the end of April in Italy with the Miglianico Alps Open (April 30 – May 2), hosted at Golf Il Cerreto di Miglianico, before continuing in May with one of the cornerstones of the Alps Tour calendar. The Gösser Open (May 14–16), a fixture since the creation of the tour in 2001, will once again be played at GC Erzherzog Johann in Maria Lankowitz, Austria. The circuit will then move to France for the Lacanau Alps Open (May 21–23), before discovering a brand-new event: the Open de Roissy PGA France (May 28–30), hosted at Golf International de Roissy.
June will see the Alps Tour return to Spain for the Alps de Andalucía – Roquetas de Mar (June 11–13), followed by the Aravell Golf Andorra Open by Creand (June 25–27), played at Aravell Golf & Country Club, close to the Andorran border. The summer stretch will continue with the Fred. Olsen Alps de La Gomera (July 2–4) in the Canary Islands and the Alps de Las Castillas (July 11–13). Before the traditional August break, players will compete for the second time in The Biarritz Cup (July 24–26) at Golf de Biarritz Le Phare.
September will feature two tournaments in France, starting with the Longwy Alps Open (September 3–5), played close to the Luxembourg border, followed by the Hauts de France–Pas de Calais Open (September 10–12), co-sanctioned with the Ladies European Tour Access Series.
The final regular-season event will take place in Italy at Golf La Pinetina, near Milan, where the Memorial Giorgio Bordoni by AON (October 7–9) will play a decisive role in the race for the rankings. The season will then conclude with the Hulencourt Alps Grand Final (October 15–17), open to the top 50 players on the Order of Merit, and played this year at Golf de Hulencourt in Belgium.
With its blend of tradition, innovation, and international competition, the 2026 season promises to deliver an unforgettable Alps Tour 25th anniversary for players and fans alike.
