The Scandinavian Mixed is now an established fixture on the DP World Tour calendar. Men and women play a tournament together at Vasatorps Golfklubb in Helsingborg, Sweden. But how does the format work?

How the Scandinavian Mixed 2024 works:

DP World Tour: Men and women compete for one trophy

For many, the term mixed event probably immediately conjures up the idea of some kind of team event, where a male and female player form teams of two and compete against each other in the familiar formats. But don’t worry, you don’t have to get out the rule book and look up the exact difference between foursomes and fourballs.

The mixed event in Sweden is characterised by the simplicity of the format, a classic golf tournament.

156 participants, 78 women, 78 men and after four rounds there is one winner. There will be mixed flights on the first two days, with the ladies playing from the ladies’ tee and the men from the men’s tee. As usual, a cut will be made after two rounds and only the best 65 (and shared) players will progress to the final round. There, the groups will be shuffled again and over the weekend, the participants will compete for a total prize money of 2 million dollars as well as points for the respective world ranking, the Ryder Cup and the Solheim Cup.

Scandinavian Mixed 2024: The field

Swedish golf fans can expect a great number of scandinavian golfers to participate in the event. Many eyes will follow the flight made up completely of swedish golfers, with former tournament winner Linn Grant, Solheim Cup player Madelene Sagstrom and Jesper Svensson, who recently won the Porsche Singapore Classic.

From Spectator to Caddie: Four Caddies in just One Day for PGA Tour Player

C.T. Pan’s caddie ribbon adorned more than just one caddie at the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday and was passed on to new hands like a baton. In total, it was passed on three times, meaning that a total of four caddies were at the professional’s side.

Pan and his caddie Mike “Fluff” Cowan already had 54 holes behind them on the PGA Tour. The two have only recently become a team since “Fluff” parted company with Jim Furyk, at whose side he played golf tournaments for 25 years. The cut they made and their position in the top half of the leaderboard showed that they made a good team. On Sunday morning, however, the two parted ways: the caddie fell on the third hole and was unable to finish the round alongside Pan. A veritable relay race ensued.

PGA Tour: A caddie’s bib as a baton

Shortly after “Fluff’s” fall, C.T. Pan’s flight partner Shane Lowry was carrying his own bag, and Lowry’s caddie Darren Reynolds was carrying Pan’s bag. This, of course, was not a permanent state of affairs and that’s where Paul Emerson came in, who quickly went from spectator to caddie. Emerson offered his help when Pan accompanied the injured man to the medics: “I helped Fluff get the bib off, threw it on and started walking up the hole,” said Emerson. However, he didn’t last long. After around 30 minutes, he gave up his task.

Good performance despite chaotic circumstances

From then on, the shirt adorned the upper body of a member of the caddie team, Michael Campbell. But even he was not to remain at Pan’s side for long. In the end, Al Riddell, Paul Barjon’s caddie, took over the shirt for the back nine and finished the final round of the RBC Canadian Open together with Pan. Player and caddie knew each other from before. Despite all the circumstances, Pan played a 69 and finished tied 35th. The highlight of his round: an eagle on the par-4 12th.

At the start of the back nine, Shane Lowry laughingly remarked that Pan was probably setting a record with this round.

Through the Golf Post Live Blog you can follow all results on the PGA Tour live. Alongside the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour), the PGA Tour is the world’s largest tournament series in men’s professional golf. The tour attracts prize money that is just as high as the level of the international elite that comes together at quite a few of the tournaments. The annual highlights of the season are the four major tournaments (co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour), the Players Championship and the final FedExCup playoffs, which conclude the season every year. Signature events were created for this purpose. These include the three FedExCup playoff tournaments, The Sentry, the invitational tournaments (Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational and Memorial Tournament) and four other tournaments, which can change annually.

The PGA Tour has gained its importance primarily through its ability to retain top players through the attractiveness of the tournaments and the size of the prize money, which has risen steadily in recent years. The FedExCup is the American equivalent of the European Race to Dubai, with players collecting points throughout the season until the FedExCup winner is crowned in three tournaments in August. The FedExCup playoffs consist of three tournaments: the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the BMW Championship and the final Tour Championship. The winner of the Tour Championship also becomes the winner of the FedEx Cup and secures the record jackpot of 25 million US dollars.
