The famous Italian Open Golf Tournament starts tomorrow, Thursday, June 27, in the lovely seaside town of Monte Argentario, Italy. Players, spectators, and event organizers are set for four days of premier competition, with excitement and excellence expected on the greens.
Complete Preparations Made for a Grand Event
In accordance with the tournament officials, every provision has been made to ensure that this high-profile event is executed successfully. With a reputation for its picturesque views and demanding course layout, the venue is set to welcome some of the world’s top professional golfers.
A Historic Tournament With Rich Legacy
The Italian Open is Italy’s top men’s national golf championship and goes back to its inception in 1925. With the exception of the years 1933 and during the Second World War, the tournament was staged annually until 1960 and is now a standard feature of the international golf calendar.
What sets the Italian Open apart is its reliability—it is one of the few events in the world to have a consistent presence year in and year out on the professional circuit, featuring up-and-coming stars as well as experienced champions.
Format and Course Details
This season, the event will be contested over 71 holes, providing a twist to the standard 72-hole format, all likely due to adjustments to course layout or weather backup plans. Guys will need to take their strategic game to the course’s technical tests and varied terrain.
Big Names and Big Stakes
Golf enthusiasts can look forward to watching several global stars in action, all of whom are competing for the sake not just of honor but also for a handsome prize. The prize fund is fixed at €3 million, one of the richest affairs in the region.
Among the big storylines for the year is the return of German golfer Marcel Siem, who will be defending his title following an impressive performance in last year’s edition.

The Italian Open starts on Thursday, June 26, 2025, and will last for four straight days and end on Sunday, June 29, 2025. Fans and viewers can expect a highly entertaining weekend with intense golf, dramatic putts, and possibly new records.
