• Home favourites Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen and Lucas Bjerregaard to tee it up at Furesø Golf Klub
• Frenchman Frederic Lacroix also confirmed to defend his Danish Golf Championship title
Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen and Lucas Bjerregaard cannot wait to return to home soil later this year when the Danish Golf Championship heads to Furesø Golf Klub, from August 14-17.
The pair will also be joined in the field by defending champion Frederic Lacroix, who won his maiden DP World Tour title at last year’s event after carding a six under par final round to win by four strokes.
Neergaard-Petersen enjoyed a stellar 2024 as he secured automatic promotion from the HotelPlanner Tour by winning three times on last year’s Road to Mallorca. He carried his form into the 2025 Race to Dubai, amassing five top ten finishes to date in his rookie year, also earning a place on Continental Europe’s side at the Team Cup in January.
Making just his second appearance in a Major Championship last week at the U.S. Open, Neergaard-Petersen finished in a share of 12th at Oakmont County Club.
The 25-year-old will be a popular draw at the Danish Golf Championship after last year being named an Honorary Member of Furesø Golf Klub, shortly after he broke into the World’s Top 100 for the first time. Neergaard-Petersen has been a member of the club since a young age.
“I played well at the Danish Golf Challenge earlier in the year, finishing sixth, so to have another good performance on home soil at the Danish Golf Championship was a real thrill,” said Neergaard-Petersen. “I’ve only had the chance to play in Denmark a few times since turning professional, but the atmosphere has always been great and you really want to play well for the home crowds.
“It’s very exciting having the chance to play in a DP World Tour event at my home course and I can’t wait to see friends and family lining the fairways to cheer me on.”
In 2024, Bjerregaard rekindled the form which saw him become a two-time DP World Tour winner as he finished runner-up at Lübker Golf Resort, while Neergaard-Petersen finished inside the top 20 as he went on to end the year as the winner of the HotelPlanner Tour’s Road to Mallorca Rankings.
Bjerregaard earned a return to the DP World Tour for 2025 after also securing his playing rights through the HotelPlanner Tour, and his runner-up result on home soil last year was his best finish on Tour since 2021.
“It meant a lot to me to put in that kind of a performance in front of my home crowd,” said Bjerregaard. “I had been playing well on the HotelPlanner Tour, and the result at Lübker really gave me the belief that I could finish the season strong and secure my return to the DP World Tour.
“We always receive such incredible support whenever and wherever we play in Denmark, and I know we are all looking forward to playing in front of our fans again later this year at Furesø.”
Last year, at Lübker Golf Resort, Lacroix carded a six under par final round of 65 to take the title, overturning a four-stroke deficit to win by that margin. The Frenchman then ended the year in 29th position on the Race to Dubai Rankings.
“I’m really proud that the Danish Golf Championship was my first victory on the DP World Tour and I’m excited to defend my title later this year,” said Lacroix. “It will be a new challenge with it being a different golf course, but it’s something that I’m looking forward to.”
