Adrian Meronk

Adrian Meronk continued his rise up the DP World Tour rankings last season, climbing from eighth to fourth after capturing the Australian and Italian Opens and Andalucia Masters.

Meronk was voted the circuit’s Golfer of the Year by his fellow players, despite being overlooked for a wildcard pick for last year’s Ryder Cup.

He made his Open debut at St Andrews in 2022 two weeks after capturing his maiden DP World Tour title at the Horizon Irish Open, where he finished birdie-birdie-eagle-par for a three-stroke victory over Ryan Fox to become the first Polish winner on the circuit.

Meronk was born in Germany but his family returned to Poland when he was two and he went on to represent them in the 2012, 2014 and 2016 Eisenhower Trophy amateur world team championships, finishing alongside Justin Thomas in joint seventh place on his first appearance.

Meronk was runner-up to Rory McIlroy the Dubai Desert Classic in January.
