Golf Tournament 2025 in Denmark: Betting Favorites, Underrated Contenders, and Predictions for the Victory
The Danish Golf Championship is set to take place at Furesø Golf Klub, a beautiful 27-hole facility located north of Copenhagen. This year's event marks the conclusion of the DP World Tour's Closing Swing and promises to be an exciting showdown.
The course, completely renovated in 2015 by Scottish architectural firm Mackenzie & Ebert, measures out at 7,011 yards and plays as a par 71 with four par-3s and three par-5s. Its tree-lined and awkward nature makes accuracy a vital factor for the eventual winner.
The tournament offers a substantial prize fund of $200,000, with the winner taking home an additional $275,000 from the main purse. The competition is expected to attract a strong field, including home favourites Rasmus and Nicolai Hojgaard, who lead the betting market.
Other notable players to watch out for include Kristoffer Reitan and Matt Wallace, who are fancied to feature around the top end of the leaderboard. Andy Sullivan, with his accurate iron play and excellent putting, is also expected to perform well on the course.
Last year, Oliver Lindell finished in second place at the Danish Golf Challenge on the HotelPlanner Tour, and has at least half a stroke gained on the field in six of his past seven outings in terms of his approach game. Jacob Skov Olesen, with six top-20s in 15 starts this year, including leading The Open after 18 holes last month and a T3rd finish last week in Scotland, is another player to keep an eye on.
The Danish Golf Championship has a history of producing close finishes, with several tournaments decided by a playoff or a single stroke. In 2025, Marco Penge emerged victorious at Furesø Golf Klub, edging out home favourite Rasmus Hojgaard by one stroke, finishing 16 under par and earning $467,500.
The tournament will be broadcast in the US from 7:00am to 11:00am ET on Thursday, August 14, and Friday, August 15 on the Golf Channel and NBC Sports App, with the final two rounds on Saturday, August 16, and Sunday, August 17 also on the Golf Channel and NBC Sports App. In the UK, the tournament will be broadcast from 12:00pm to 5:00pm BST on Sky Sports Golf.
Denmark's most successful golfer, Thomas Bjørn, serves as tournament chairman, and the event regularly attracts top Danish players such as Rasmus and Nicolai Hojgaard, Søren Kjeldsen, and Lucas Bjerregaard. With its growing popularity and prestigious status, the Danish Golf Championship has become a significant event in the golfing calendar, contributing to Denmark's growing golf profile.
