Dale Whitnell will defend his Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed title next week against a wealth of talent from the world of golf, with 78 men and 78 women competing for one trophy and one prize fund at Vasatorps Golfklubb.
The Englishman claimed his maiden DP World Tour title at last year’s tournament, finishing three strokes clear in the innovative event which is co-sanctioned with the Ladies European Tour.
Leading the charge from the Ladies European Tour contingent will be compatriot and current Order of Merit leader Bronte Law, who claimed her third title earlier this season at the Lalla Meryem Cup and finished runner-up at the Women’s NSW Open.
She will be joined in Sweden by Chiara Tamburlini of Switzerland, Belgium’s Manon De Roey and Singaporean Shannon Tan, who have each won during the 2024 Ladies European Tour season. The trio are currently third, fourth and sixth on the Order of Merit respectively.
Also competing at Vasatorps Golfklubb will be the Danish pair of Søren Kjeldsen, who will make his 700th DP World Tour appearance this week at the European Open, and Niklas Nørgaard, who finished runner-up to Elvira in Belgium.
Three-time PGA TOUR winner Jonas Blixt will also be competing on home soil next month, adding to a strong Swedish group which also includes DP World Tour winners Alexander Björk, Vincent Norrman, Sebastian Söderberg and Jesper Svensson, as well as 2022 Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed winner Linn Grant.
Grant’s 2023 Solheim Cup teammates Caroline Hedwall and Madelene Sagström will also draw on support from the home crowd, as will 2023 LET Player of the Year Johanna Gustavsson.
