The Omega European Masters in Switzerland is one of the oldest tournaments on the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour). It has been played since 1923, when it was called The Swiss Open. This event is the 13th of 16 national opens on the DP World Tour schedule this season, and the second of nine in the Back 9 phase of the schedule. At the end of the Back 9, the top 70 players on the Race to Dubai Rankings will head to the Play-Offs, while the top 100 will secure full status for next season.
Last year, Thriston Lawrence earned his second Omega European Masters title after defeating a trio of golfers. “It’s amazing, walking the streets, you just regenerate a lot of memories from the first time in 2022 when I won,” he said. “The people stay friendly, they remember your face, and it’s nice weather this week, so it’s a nice welcome back.”
About Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club
Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club, home to this event since 1948, plays 6,830 yards as a par 70. The golf course sits on an alpine plateau at the base of the Swiss Alps, routed through their foothills. The small, quick, undulating greens are the most challenging part of this course, forcing the players to be accurate with their approach shots.
The current course record at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club is 60 (-10) set by James Morrison in the Omega European Masters in 2021.
Who to Watch at the 2026 Omega European Masters
Three former champions of The Masters are in the field: Sergio Garcia, Danny Willett and Patrick Reed. There are also six former winners of the Omega European Masters in the field. With multiple-time winners this season like Jayden Schaper, Casey Jarvis and Eugenio Chacarra in the field, there will be some stiff competition this week.
We predict Matt Wallace will earn his second Omega European Masters title. Wallace won this event in 2024 and finished runner-up last year. He played on the PGA Tour this season, finishing with three top-10s that helped him get to 73rd on the FedExCup points list.
