DP World Tour: Scandinavian Mixed – How Does it Work?

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.

What's in the Bag

WITB: Nacho Elvira wins the Soudal Open 2024 with Callaway

Nacho Elvira wins on the DP World Tour for the second time in his career. After his victory at the Cazoo Open in 2021, the Spaniard secured victory at the Soudal Open 2024 in Belgium on a thrilling final day. After three dominant days, Nacho Elvira had his problems, especially after a rain interruption on the final day, allowing his two pursuers Niklas Norgaard Moller and Romain Langasque to close the gap. In the end, however, a round of 71 was enough for the triumph in Antwerp. For his victory, Elvira opted for a bag similar to the one Xander Schauffele used at the PGA Championship the previous week and therefore put his trust in the equipment supplier Callaway.

WITB Nacho Elvira 2024 – With Callaway to victory

Nacho Elvira has the latest Paradym AI Smoke Driver in the Triple Diamond Max edition in his bag. This has a neutral to fade-oriented clubface, which is particularly aimed at low handicappers and tour pros. The club offers good handling from the tee, which should ensure a high ball launch and low spin. Among the fairway woods, Elvira also uses the same Triple Diamond model for golfers with a higher swing speed who are looking for precise ball control and a penetrating, low-spin ball flight. A Callaway X Forged Utility Wood bridges the gap to the Callaway Apex TCB irons. The Spaniard relies on the latest model from this year. When it comes to wedges, the newly crowned Tour winner puts the Callaway JAWS MD5 (50° and 54°) and the Callaway JAWS Raw (58°) in his bag. For the putter, Elvira opts for the White Hot OG Rossie from Callaway’s Odyssey brand, which specializes in the manufacture of putters. The Callaway Chrome Tour golf ball completes the Spaniard’s bag.

Nacho Elvira’s Bag

Driver: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max (8.5°)

Fairway: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max (15°)

Utility: Callaway X Forged UT (18°)

Irons: Callaway Apex TCB ’24 (4-5) and Apex MB ’24 (6-10)

Wedges: Callaway JAWS MD5 (50°,54°; 10S) and JAWS Raw (58°; 12X)
