The Open Qualifying Series Italy
Players competing in the Open d'Italia will have the opportunity to earn a place at The 154th Open in 2026.
One place will be available for Royal Birkdale through the Open Qualifying Series.
The event, part of the DP World Tour, takes place from 25 to 28 June with the highest placed finisher, not already exempt, securing passage to the Championship.
In 2025 Adrien Saddier and Martin Couvra booked their places at Royal Portrush thanks to their performances at the Italian Open, where Saddier was winner and Couvra runner-up.
The triumph marked 33-year-old Saddier’s first victory on the DP World Tour, finishing at 14-under-par - two shots clear of fellow Frenchman Couvra – after an excellent 4-under-par final round of 66.
