The Alps Tour Returns to France for the Second Edition of the Longwy Alps Open.
Longwy, September 1st, 2025 – The Alps Tour resumes its 2025 season this week as players head to France for the second edition of the Longwy Alps Open, set to take place from September 4th to 6th at UGolf Longwy International, in Longwy, France.
This marks the tournament’s second consecutive year on the Alps Tour calendar, following a successful inaugural edition in 2024, where France’s Damien Perrier captured the title with a three-day total of 14-under-par.
Ahead of the tournament, on September 3rd at 1:00 p.m. local time, the Pro-Am du Grand Longwy, a shotgun-start tour scramble format, will welcome approximately 20 teams.
The Field
All 10 players currently ranked in the Top 10 of the Alps Tour Order of Merit are confirmed to compete in France, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown. Spain’s Javier Barcos, the current leader, headlines the field, followed closely by Italy’s Jacopo Vecchi Fossa in second. Spain’s Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela, ranked third, and France’s Quentin Debove, in fourth, will also be in action. Spain’s Javier Calles Roman currently holds fifth position, with Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney in sixth. Spain’s Asier Aguirre Izcue sits seventh, followed by Italy’s Andrea Romano in eighth. Spain’s Jorge Maicas and Jerry Ji from the Netherlands complete the top ten in ninth and tenth place, respectively.
Nine of this season’s 2025 tournament winners are set to compete in Longwy, with a few exceptions. Spain’s Rocco Repetto Taylor, winner of the 2025 La Cigale Golf Open, will not be in the field after earning promotion to a higher-level tour following his recent victory at the Challenge de Cádiz. Also absent are his compatriot Antonio Hortal, who won the Alps de Las Castillas, and France’s Victor Dubuisson, who made a rare Alps Tour appearance to win the 2025 Biarritz Cup by C&S Partners. The former DP World Tour winner will not be returning this week.
This week’s tournament could prove pivotal for Andrea Romano and Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela. With two wins apiece this season, either player could secure immediate promotion to the HotelPlanner Tour by clinching a third title, a rare achievement that would grant full playing rights for the remainder of the year.
In the 123-player field this week, 17 countries worldwide are represented, including Argentina, Austria, Brazil, England, Spain, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Jersey, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United States of America, and Wales.
Players teeing it up at this week’s tournament are vying not only for the event title, but also for crucial points in the season-long Order of Merit standings. With each result potentially reshaping the standings, the stakes are higher than ever as the 2025 Alps Tour season nears its conclusion.
The top 5 players in the final Order of Merit rankings will earn coveted playing privileges on the 2026 HotelPlanner Tour, a significant step forward in any professional golfer’s career. With just a few events remaining before the 2025 Alps Tour Grand Final, the competition has intensified, and every shot now carries added weight.
This week’s event marks a significant milestone in the season, presenting a prime opportunity for contenders to solidify their positions or for others to make a late surge. With promotion on the line, all eyes are on the results of the upcoming events.
Format & Prize Fund
The 2025 Longwy Alps Open will be a 54-hole stroke-play event where a cut will be made after 36 holes to the top 40 professional players and ties, including all amateurs within the cut. In case of a tie after 54 holes, a sudden-death play-off will determine the winner of the inaugural edition.
The players will compete for an overall prize fund of €47,500 and 45,000 Order of Merit points. The 2025 Longwy Alps Open winner will walk away with €6,900.00 and 6,525 Order of Merit points.
The Course
The 2025 Longwy Alps Open will be hosted at UGolf Longwy International, a distinctive venue located at the meeting point of France, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Situated in the town center of Longwy, in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department of Northern France, the course stands on a former industrial wasteland that has been transformed into one of the region’s most modern and accessible golf facilities. UGolf Longwy International is home to an 18-hole championship course and a 9-hole compact course, offering a comprehensive golfing experience for players of all skill levels.
The 18-hole course was designed by acclaimed French architect Alain Prat, known for his ability to blend natural landscapes with technical challenges. The layout navigates a diverse terrain of forested areas and open plains, creating a rhythm that demands both strategic shot-making and course management. A variety of elevation changes, water hazards, and a network of well-placed bunkers add further complexity, while tightly guarded greens reward precision on approach shots.
