DP World Tour Qualifying School - Final Stage: Who secured their cards for 2024 and who missed out?

Tom Lewis, Kiradech Aphibarnrat and Darren Fichardt all earned DP World Tour cards, while the likes of Marc Warren and Alvaro Quiros missed out; 33 players secured their playing privileges for the 2024 season

Wednesday 15 November 2023 17:53, UK

Freddy Schott eagled the final hole to secure a two-stroke victory at the Final Stage of DP World Tour Qualifying School to become one of 33 players to earn their DP World Tour cards.

Only the top 25 and ties at the end of the six-round event at Infinitum Golf in Tarronga secured their playing privileges for the 2024 season, with Schott carding a final-round 65 to end the week on 27 under and claim top spot ahead of Filippo Celli.

"I'm unbelievably happy," Schott said. "I knew it was going to come down to the final few holes. I had a chip-in on 14, made a good birdie on 16 and then the eagle putt dropping on 18 just made it a really good week. I wasn't really thinking about winning it but then after three or four days, I thought I might as well go for it and so I did.

"I couldn't have imagined that after last year I wouldn't be back on the DP World Tour. I've made some great friendships there this year and it's just amazing to play on the DP World Tour. That was my only goal this week."

Belgian Matthis Besard fired a closing six-under 65 to finish in tied-third alongside overnight leader Sebastian Friedrichsen and Dutchman Darius van Driel, while two-time DP World Tour winner Tom Lewis completed a remarkable recovery to earn his card.

What a day for Tom Lewis 🫡 The Englishman with a ten under par 61 🔥 #DPWTQSchool pic.twitter.com/1BX9EWzAiX — DP World Tour Q-School (@DPWTQSchool) November 13, 2023

Lewis charged back into contention with a 10-under 61 and added rounds of 67 and 65 over the final two days to claim sixth spot, with former British Masters champion Renato Paratore also among the contingent to ensure a return to the top tier.

"I've had some up and down moments in my career, and hopefully this can start a new path for me and I can keep building from here," Lewis said. "I've been in these positions before and got excited and took my foot off the pedal. Hopefully I can learn from that and keep moving forward and take the opportunities when I get them."

The 2023 DP World Tour Qualifying School schedule has been confirmed, which includes five new venues and a return to INFINITUM for its dramatic finale as professionals and amateurs from all over the world look to secure their place on Europe’s top tier.

Since its inception in 1976, DP World Tour Qualifying School has produced a host of Major Champions, World Number Ones and Ryder Cup stars including Colin Montgomerie, Sandy Lyle, Justin Rose and Miguel Ángel Jiménez.

Hopefuls from across the globe will once again compete through three stages of Qualifying School in 2023 as they attempt to earn a life-changing spot on the DP World Tour in 2024.

Millennium Golf in Beringen will become the first golf club in Belgium to host The Qualifying School, while four further new venues in Europe have been added to the schedule.

The DP World Tour Qualifying School will visit 14 venues from August to November and the Final Stage will again take place at Costa Dorada’s award-winning INFINITUM resort, one of the finest golf, leisure and real estate facilities in Europe.

Three of the five venues making their Qualifying School debuts will act as First Stage venues, including Millennium Golf Club in Belgium, Donnington Grove Golf Club in England and Royal Oak Golf Club in Denmark. First Stage will take place across nine venues in total, including a return to Rosebud Country Club in Australia, which made history last year as the first venue outside of Europe to hold a Qualifying School event.

Desert Springs Resort in Almeria and Isla Canela in Huelva return to the DP World Tour Qualifying School schedule as a Second Stage setting, along with two new Spanish venues; Golf Las Pinaillas in Albacete and Fontanals Golf Club in Girona.

Mike Stewart, DP World Tour Qualifying School Director, said: “We are incredibly proud to unveil our global schedule for the 2023 DP World Tour Qualifying School and we are excited to welcome five new venues.

“All 14 venues on our Qualifying School schedule will provide players with a true test and those that come through the rigorous three stage process will be ready to compete on the DP World Tour in 2024.

“DP World Tour Qualifying School offers professionals and amateurs a chance to achieve their dream of playing on the DP World Tour. As a global Tour we are thrilled that Rosebud Country Club returns as a First Stage venue to give that opportunity to players in the Asia-Pacific region.

“We are looking forward to returning to the stunning INFINITUM, which have hosted four successful editions of our finale and we are grateful for their help and hospitality. Through our collective partnership and teamwork, our players will be treated to a first-class event that will be eagerly anticipated on our schedule.”

Joaquín Mora Bertrán, INFINITUM’s Director of Golf, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Qualifying School Final Stage, one of golf’s most famous events, back to INFINITUM.

“It has been an exciting year for INFINITUM, with the launch of Phase Two of our Real Estate project as well as the imminent transformation of our practice facilities to a Callaway Performance Centre.

“Our two 18-hole courses, the Lakes and the Hills – along with our popular nine-hole Ruins course – offer completely different, but equally enjoyable, challenges for golfers of all abilities which is why it has proven such a perfect venue for Qualifying School Final Stage.

“I am sure the 2023 edition will provide as much drama as in previous years and we very much look forward to working closely with Mike Stewart and the DP World Tour to produce another world-class event.”

The Final Stage of Qualifying School will take place at INFINITUM from November 10-15, 2023, where 156 players will compete over six rounds.

Each player will play two rounds at the Lakes Course and the Hills Course at INFINITUM, before the top 70 and ties play the final two rounds at the Lakes Course, with the top 25 and ties earning DP World Tour playing privileges for 2024.

Dp world tour q-school – 2022 first stage preview & results.

8th October 2022 – Updated

I am following all of the amateur players as well as the Great British & Irish professionals  through the 2022 DP World Tour Qualifying School series.

Qualifying School was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic so makes a welcome return this year. Entries closed on 17th August 2022.

In November 2021 the European Tour was renamed as the DP World Tour.

As in previous years Q-School will consist of three stages, First, Second and Final. More information on the 2022 Qualifying School can be found in the Appendix at the end of this article.

This article covers FIRST STAGE QUALIFYING which started on 30th August and ended on 8th October 2022. Additional articles will be written for the  SECOND STAGE and FINAL STAGE in due course.

Final Stage will be played at Infinitum, previously known as Lumine Golf Club, on 11th – 16th November where 156 players will battle over six rounds for a top 25 and ties finish and a place on the DP World Tour for the 2023 season.

FIRST STAGE

First Stage consisted of nine 72 hole stroke play qualifying events split into six Sections, A, B, C, D, E and F.

Each event had a 54 hole cut where only players within 7-shots of the final qualifying place at that point contested the final round.

Here are a summary of the results focussing on the players I am interested in: –

THE 2022 DP WORLD TOUR QUALIFYING SCHOOL SERIES

The DP World Tour (previously known as the European Tour) Qualifying School was first played in 1976, four years after the European Tour was founded. What started out as a 72 hole test has grown into potentially a 252 hole marathon.

Nowadays there are three stages of stroke play qualifying; First, Second and Final.

The 2022 European Tour Q-School entrance fee is £2,000 (2019: £1,800).

Male amateur golfers with a handicap below 0.4 (i.e. scratch) and who have appeared in positions 1-2,000 of the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) in 2022 can enter.

Some entrants are exempted straight into Second Stage or Final Stage based on their past results and ranking.

From an amateur perspective the leading 5 entrants to First Stage as at 17th August 2022 to a limit of 20th place in the WAGR are fast-tracked straight into Second Stage.

First Stage consists of nine 72 hole stroke play qualifying events split into six Sections, A, B, C, D, E and F.

Around 20% of each field, normally 15-30 players, progress from each event. The actual number of places are confirmed after all the players have teed off on Day 1 of each qualifier.

A 54-hole cut, where players need to be within 7 shots of the final allocated qualifying place, reduces the field for the final round. Ties for the final qualifying place at the end of play proceed too.

SECOND STAGE

The Second Qualifying Stage consists of four separate 72-hole events.

There is no cut.

The actual number of places available for Final Stage are again confirmed after all of the players have teed off on Day 1 of each event. Sudden death play-offs are held to resolve ties at this Stage.

3rd – 6th November 2022

ALENDA GOLF, ALICANTE, SPAIN

EMPORDÀ GOLF, GIRONA, SPAIN

 – Emporia has been added to the schedule for the first time since hosting Final Stage in 2000, 2002 and 2003.

DESERT SPRINGS RESORT, ALMERIA, SPAIN

LAS COLINAS GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB, ALICANTE, SPAIN

FINAL STAGE

The Final Qualifying Stage consists of 108 holes on the Lakes and Hills Courses at Infinitum, previously known as Lumine GC, in Tarragona, Spain. Infinitum / Lumine replaced PGA Catalunya Resort in 2017 and will be hosting Final Stage for the third time this year.

The Tour has entered a new 3 year contract, covering 2022-24, with the Spanish venue to stage the Finals.

156 players will play two rounds over each of the Lakes and Hills Courses. After these 72 holes the field will be cut to the leading 70 players and ties who will play a final 36 holes.

The leading 25 players (plus those tied for 25th place) in the Final Stage competition will earn Full Membership of The DP World Tour (and Challenge Tour) for the 2023 season. On average between 2014-19 the medalist has received 27 European Tour starts whilst the 25th qualifier has garnered 18.

Those who make the 72 hole cut but finish outside the Top 25 will also earn a membership category, albeit a lower one, on the DP World Tour (and Challenge Tour).

Players who miss the cut will be eligible for membership of the Challenge Tour.

Every player is ranked according to their finishing score, card count backs assisting in this process, and this ranking matters when it comes to future playing opportunities.

11th – 16th November 2022

INFINITUM, TARRAGONA, SPAIN

The Class Of '22 - This Year's DP World Tour Q-School Qualifiers

We run through the players who earned their cards through this year's DP World Tour Q-School

• Sign up to Golf Monthly Newsletter Newsletter

DP World Tour Qualifying School is over for another year. The mammoth three-stage event concluded at Infinitum in Spain with a six-round showdown over the resort's Lakes and Hills courses to determine who would earn full playing privileges for the upcoming season.

Sweden's Simon Forsstrom topped the pile at 29-under but matters further down the leaderboard were of far greater significance as competitors fought for a place inside the top 25 and to punch their ticket onto the Old World circuit.

The mark this year fell at 17-under, with 28 players coming through the gruelling process to follow in the footsteps of some legends of the game. There were, as ever, some big-name casualties along the way , but here we're going to run through the DP World Tour Q-School's class of '22.

DP World Tour announces Qualifying School venues for 2022

3.31pm 21st April 2022 - Course Development

The DP World Tour Qualifying School is to return for the first time in three years in 2022, with a schedule which includes six new venues and a return to INFINITUM , venue for this week’s ISPS Handa Championship in Spain, for its dramatic finale.

Following three successful editions of the Final Stage at INFINITUM, one of Europe’s premier golf and leisure facilities, the stunning resort in Spain’s Catalonia region will play host to the Qualifying School finale for the next three years following an extended agreement with the DP World Tour.

Hopefuls from across the globe will be given the opportunity to compete for a spot on the DP World Tour in 2023, through the three stages of the famous Qualifying School.

The Qualifying School will break new ground in 2022 by visiting Australia for the first time with a maiden visit to Rosebud Country Club in Victoria, while five further new venues in Europe have been added to the schedule.

Rosebud Country Club , Portugal’s Montado Hotel & Golf Resort and Denmark’s Lyngbygaard Golf will all make their long-awaited debuts in 2022 after the Qualifying School was cancelled in the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

English venue Mottram Hall and Haugschlag , in Austria, will also make their Qualifying School bows in 2022, while Empordà Golf, in Spain, has also been added to the schedule for the first time since hosting Final Stage in 2003, 2002 and 2000.

The DP World Tour Qualifying School will visit 14 venues from August to November and gives players – professional and amateur – the opportunity to earn their place on Europe’s top tier for the 2023 season.

The five venues making their Qualifying School debuts will all act as First Stage venues, with Rosebud Country Club making history as the first Australian venue to hold a Qualifying School event. First Stage will take place across nine venues in total, including returning locations in England, France, Italy and Sweden.

Empordà Golf , which is located in Girona and hosts the Empordà Challenge on the European Challenge Tour, returns to the DP World Tour Qualifying School schedule as a Second Stage setting, along with three other Spanish venues; Alenda Golf , Desert Springs Resort and Las Colinas Golf & Country Club.

Mike Stewart, DP World Tour Qualifying School Director, said: “We are delighted to welcome all six new venues to the DP World Tour Qualifying School family. Each and every venue on our Schedule is worthy of hosting the Qualifying School and will provide our players with the true test they need to prove they have what it takes to capture a DP World Tour card for the 2023 season.

“As a global Tour, we are thrilled to be able to host a First Stage event in Australia at Rosebud Country Club. DP World Tour Qualifying School gives an opportunity to professionals and amateurs alike to achieve their dream of earning a DP World Tour card and to extend the opportunity to players in the Asia-Pacific region is an exciting development.

“We are looking forward to returning to INFINITUM, with whom we have enjoyed a long and successful partnership, for at least the next three years and we are excited to experience the improvements they have made to both the golf courses and the venue as they enter this new chapter.”

Agustin Garcia Pascual, chief business officer at INFINITUM, said: “We have built a strong and successful relationship with the DP World Tour and are delighted to welcome back the Final Stage of Qualifying School in 2022. Signing a three-year partnership affirms our commitment to Qualifying School and will allow us to showcase the developments we have made at INFINITUM as we look to start a new chapter and build on the success of hosting the event from 2017 to 2019.

“Our Hills and Lakes layouts – the latter of which is playing host to this week’s ISPS Handa Championship in Spain – will provide a fitting finale, as well as a stern test, for Qualifying School hopefuls and we look forward to six days of fantastic golf later this year.”

The three-stage competition culminates at INFINITUM from November 11-16, 2022, where 156 players will compete over six rounds in a bid to fulfil their DP World Tour dreams.

Six new venues as DP World Tour Qualifying School returns this year

Golf in uae, golf in uae uae.

Infinitum to host ISPS Handa Championship in Spain this week and November finale.

Dubai: The DP World Tour Qualifying School will return for the first time in three years in 2022 with a schedule which includes six new venues and a return to Infinitum, venue for this week’s ISPS Handa Championship in Spain, for its dramatic finale.

DP World Tour Qualifying School Final Stage: Players to watch at Infinitum

Ben Coley picks out 10 players to watch as the six-round marathon that is Qualifying School begins on Friday.

Ricardo Gouveia

Gouveia's last start came in the Portugal Masters featuring Robert MacIntyre, Jordan Smith and various other Ryder Cup hopefuls, and he was a 66/1 shot. Not only that, but he started really well before a nightmare second round under intense pressure. Yes, he was on home soil at a course where he'd never previously missed the cut, but this is a player who finished eighth in a PGA Tour event in July, and whose form prior to Portugal read 19-16.

Odds of 100/1 with bet365 are all kinds of wrong for a class act with plenty of form in Spain, and he deserves to be towards the front of this market. Note that the only two players who finished ahead of him in the Race to Dubai are 18/1 and 33/1. I would be putting Gouveia right between the two at around 25s.

Max Schmitt

Whereas I think bet365 have tended to underestimate some of the proven DP World Tour players (such as Kristoffer Broberg opening at 140/1), BoyleSports might not have rated the Challenge Tour nearly-men the way I would.

Take David Ravetto, who was going off at 28/1 on that circuit recently, but now found himself rated similarly to players who'd been 100/1 and bigger. His initial 150/1 price has now been slashed and the one I'm most interested in is Schmitt, a formerly world-class amateur who, at 24, still has a bright future.

Schmitt narrowly missed his card, finishing 23rd on the Challenge Tour's Road to Mallorca and losing a play-off for the penultimate event, which ultimately proved the difference. However he only featured in 17 tournaments, fewer than all bar two of the 20 who gained cards as well as virtually everyone around him. By the end of the campaign, he was being put in right towards the very top of the betting with good reason.

While I rate his compatriot Nick Bachem (50/1) as highly promising, Schmitt was the better player on balance and he also has the advantage of experience at Infinitum. Schmitt in fact held on to come through Q School here in 2018 and 66/1 looks generous for the best of the players who've been operating on the Challenge Tour this year.

Ashley Chesters

The single most accurate driver in men's professional golf, Chesters is the sort to stay out of trouble and secure his card this week. That's largely what he did at Qualifying School in 2016, a year after he'd featured prominently as an amateur in the Open, and some encouraging recent form suggests he can do it again.

It's worth noting that not only has some of his best form come in Spain, fourth place at Valderrama in particular, but that he was 23rd here at Infinitum in this year's ISPS Handa Championship, held at the Lakes course. Inside the top 10 after each of the first two rounds, he finished on the heels of some quality DP World Tour operators despite a poor week with the putter.

That club is the biggest concern but his best display of the year came recently in Mallorca and anything like that should see him in the mix for cards. He's well capable of being right towards the top of the leaderboard, too, although he lacks a little oomph and is one I'd be more inclined to back if a bookmaker offered prices on players getting their cards.

Garrick Porteous

Another one-time amateur prospect whose professional career hasn't yet caught fire, Porteous arrives having produced some of his best golf of the season in Portugal, and then followed it by coasting through second stage, again improving as the week went on.

That should be a nice platform for this fine driver of a ball, and he was 14th in this event when last it was held. Yes, he missed the cut at Infinitum back in May but only narrowly and after a bright start, too, at a time when his game was more miss than hit.

Cormac Sharvin

A former winner of the Brabazon Trophy who played Walker Cup golf before turning professional, Sharvin's career is now at a crossroads having turned 30 last month.

It's been a thoroughly miserable year on the DP World Tour having made just one cut since April, finishing 13th in the 54-hole Czech Masters. Having withdrawn after an opening 81 two starts ago and then struggled in Portugal, it's fair to say there's been very little in the way of encouragement.

That's until he finished fourth at second stage, defying a couple of big mistakes early on to ultimately finish close to the leaders. His final round was the second best of the day and while that Las Colinas sectional was a weak one, it's easy to be drawn towards prices as big as 250/1. He cut through the field here in 2018 to finish 31st and a better start might make him one of the week's surprise packages.

Jonathan Caldwell

The last of the UK and Irish journeymen types I like is old friend Caldwell, a winner last summer yet now back to Qualifying School. The good news is he's played it once at Infinitum and finished 19th, the performance which paved the way for him to fulfil a life's ambition and win on the DP World Tour.

Caldwell returns here on the back of a poor season, but one which showed clear signs of improvement towards the end. He made three of his final six cuts but more than that, the big numbers which had plagued him were generally kept at bay save for a horrible afternoon in the wind and rain of the Dunhill Links.

After a staying-on 23rd in Mallorca he showed promise despite a missed cut in Portugal which can be blamed on the putter, usually his best club. With his irons firing and these fairly short courses hopefully allowing him to compete with more powerful types, he's a player with a touch of class at three-figure odds.

John Axelsen

Dominant on the Nordic Golf League this year, Axelsen looked like being one of the major casualties of second stage – only to shoot a final-round 63 and climb more than 30 places, just inside the cut-off.

Clearly, he'll need to improve again having been 11 shots behind proven tour players Joel Sjoholm and Pieter Moolman there, but Axelsen is an exciting youngster from Denmark who looks to have the potential to join the Hojgaard twins on the main circuit, having played plenty of amateur golf alongside them.

There are other young professionals in here who we expect big things from, including Takumi Kanaya right towards the top of the market, but I'd be more interested in Axelsen at prices around the 66/1 mark and a best of 80s with Sky Bet.

Luis Masaveu

It's a big ask for a 19-year-old amateur to come through Final Stage, but Masaveu was brilliant at Emporda last week where he finished T3. During the middle two rounds he was 12-under with just a solitary bogey and he signed off with a comfortable 68 to progress with no fuss whatsoever.

Before that we'd seen him get involved on the Open de Espana leaderboard and more than most he's surely able to view this as a free roll, given that he has his whole career in front of him and has already surpassed expectations. Throw in the fact he's on home soil and it wouldn't be a surprise were he to go well.

Alejandro Canizares

From the head of the betting, Kanaya and the classy Kiradech Aphibarnrat make plenty of sense along with Renato Paratore, who is here because he came up just one shot shy at the Portugal Masters, has been playing well for a while, and was third as a teenager at 2014 Q School.

All are respected but at no less than 33/1 I would be inclined to side with the experience of Canizares, who topped the leaderboard here in 2018 and was third a year later. He too has found form lately and while 'only' fifth as favourite for his second stage qualifier, a third-round 62 was the low score of the week to underline the fact that his game is in good shape.

With his 40th birthday a couple of months away, Canizares might just prove the value of having been here before.

Braden Thornberry

Tom Lewis and Niklas Lemke are two fabulous drivers who could really enjoy the Lakes course in particular, which Lemke has done in the past in fact. Lewis meanwhile came through Final Stage in 2016 and has shown some encouraging signs since returning to Europe in the autumn.

Both are genuine contenders for medalist honours but I'll close with Thornberry, another formerly world-class amateur, one with PGA Tour form who few would've expected to be here. That's a reflection of a rough Korn Ferry Tour campaign but it wasn't a surprise to see him go so well at second stage (T4) where he made just two bogeys all week.

Around a 50/1 chance there, anyone who collected the each-way money will surely be tempted to play it up at 80s in this admittedly deeper field. He's certainly among the most talented players in it and while only 25, he also has plenty of experience, including when topping the Korn Ferry equivalent once.

I've tried to avoid merely listing players whose prices between two firms differ greatly, but a glance at the Oddschecker grid will tell you who they are with promising South African Dylan Naidoo and the exciting Hayden Hopewell among them.

Clearly, these are hard players to rate for the most part and this is one tournament where winning isn't the goal. But returning to the top, I can't see how anyone could consider Gouveia anything but one of the standout candidates.

PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Saudi Public Investment Fund Have Yet to Meet Together

According to a report, the new CEO of the DP World Tour wants an agreement to move quickly, and he also believes European LIV golfers should be able to play in the Ryder Cup.

• Author: Bob Harig

Nearly a year after the shocking “framework agreement’’ was announced between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, all of the parties have yet to formally meet together.

That is according to Guy Kinnings, the new CEO of the DP World Tour, who officially took over from Keith Pelley this month.

Kinnings, in a media session with a small group UK and Irish golf writers in London, discussed his hopes for an agreement and also made clear that the European Ryder Cup rules do not need to be changed for players such as Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton to be part of the team next year at Bethpage Black.

“From my perspective, all I want to do is make sure we as quickly as possible get the right people around a table to talk about what can a future look like,’’ Kinnnings said in a report from the Scotsman newspaper . “I don’t expect them to go in knowing all the answers. There’s lots of things have to get worked at. What does the product look like, probably from 2026 and beyond? What’s the pathway? What does it mean for things?

“But, until you get into the room with the right people with the right intent to try and find a solution, you are never going to work out a deal and, at the end of the day, this is what is needed right now as quickly as we can. We’ve all seen—even with a great Masters—that TV figures are down. If we listen to the fans, there’s something that needs to get fixed and I see it as a huge opportunity because, if you can unite and go global, that’s exactly what we are all about.’’

The framework agreement was supposed to bring the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and PIF—which backs LIV Golf—together by the end of 2023. That deadline was missed, and since then the PGA Tour has received private equity from a U.S. based consortium of investors called Strategic Sports Group that can be as much as $3 billion.

A plan has been unveiled for PGA Tour players to receive equity in the new PGA Tour Enterprises, a for-profit company. Kinnings said that the PIF’s governor, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, wants to be part of the group of investors.

“I was talking to the guys from the Strategic Sports Group  and I said ‘listen, we’ve got to get together, we’ve got to pull it all together, we’ve got to find the product that works—it probably won’t be until 2026 but beyond there—and is good for the game, something that fans like and works for everyone.’ But, at the end of the day, it has got to be something that is appealing to them. It’s got to work for all parties and everyone is going to have to do things they don’t necessarily want to, a compromise. But that’s what you do if you strike a deal, it won’t happen until we get everyone in a room together.”

Kinnings also said that players, such as Rahm, who remain a DP World Tour member but pay fines and deal with suspensions for missing conflicting events can still be eligible for the Ryder Cup.

Katsuragawa shoots 63 to win on DP World Tour's return to Japan

Yuto Katsuragawa continued Japan's recent success on the DP World Tour after shooting a final-round 63 to win the ISPS Handa Championship on home soil Sunday.

It was the first time that Japanese players had won back-to-back DP World Tour events, following Keita Nakajima's victory at the Indian Open earlier this month.

Katsuragawa's win was his first on the European-based circuit and his reward was a DP World Tour card.

He will enter the top 25 of the 2024 Race To Dubai standings as he pursues his dream of playing on the U.S. PGA Tour.

"I have been practicing a lot to stand on the big stage," said the world No. 434.

"I can now go on the DP World Tour, which is really great and I'm really happy with it. I'm aiming to become a member of the PGA Tour in the future."

Before last year, there had only been four Japanese wins in the history of the DP World Tour, formerly the European Tour.

The total has doubled in just seven months, with Ryo Hisatsune's win at the 2023 Open de France being followed by Rikuya Hoshino's victory at February's Qatar Masters, before the exploits of Nakajima and Katsuragawa.

Katsuragawa went into the final day three shots off the lead and two birdies on the front nine kept him in the mix.

He rattled in five more after the turn and held his nerve with pars on the final two holes.

"I was very nervous on the back nine — my hands were shaking but I trusted myself and managed to bring my golf," he said.

"This course is beside Mount Fuji and it is beautiful but it is a challenging course."

Spain's Ivan Cantero, Germany's Marcel Schneider, South Africa's Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Japan's Ryosuke Kinoshita all finished two shots behind Soderberg in a tie for third.

Overnight leader Casey Jarvis suffered a final-day meltdown with five bogeys on the front nine, eventually shooting a 74 to finish eight strokes off the pace.

Germany's Yannik Paul, who started the day one shot behind Casey, also dropped out of contention and finished 11 shots behind Katsuragawa.

Katsuragawa won the inaugural ISPS Handa Championship title in 2022, when pandemic restrictions meant the competition was sanctioned only by the Japanese tour.

The sprawling, mind-boggling metropolis of Russian Moscow has long been one of the theatrical stages on which the great dramas of Europe and Asia have been played out in grand style. Burned by Napoleon in 1812, immortalised by Tolstoy, utilised by the Bolsheviks and championed as a bastion of heroic defiance by the post-war communists, it’s almost hard to believe just how defining the historical events that found their home on Moscow’s streets have been. Moscow tour guides will easily be able to mark the major must-see landmarks on the map, from the onion-domed orthodox Saint Basil's Cathedral, to the political powerhouse of Red Square just next door, while others will be quick to recommend a ride on Moscow’s famous subterranean metro system, or a visit to the UNESCO-attested Novodevichy Convent on the city’s southern side. But Moscow is a city also in the throes of a cultural wrangling between the old and the new. Creative energies abound here: Boho bars and pumping super clubs now occupy the iconic mega structures of the old USSR; high-fashion outlets, trendy shopping malls and luxurious residential districts stand as testimony to a city that’s now the undisputed playground of the world’s super-rich, while sprawling modern art museums dominate the cultural offering of the downtown districts north of the Moskva River.

Posted on Last updated: March 2, 2023

Categories Trans Mongolian Express

Moscow is the capital of Russia and there are few cities in the world that have played such a significant part in history.

Home to the Kremlin, the Red Square, the colorful St. Basil's Cathedral, and many more famous landmarks, Moscow is a city like no other.

This Moscow itinerary will help you plan your trip and make the most of your time in Moscow. From the best places to see in Moscow to how to get around, this post has got you covered.

What to do in Moscow in 3 days

• Day 1: The Red Square, GUM Department Store, St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, and the State Historical Museum.
• Day 2: The Kremlin, the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, Gorky Park, and the Bolshoi Theatre.
• Day 3: Izmailovsky Market, Bunker 42, and Zaryadye Park.

Important things to know when planning a trip to Moscow

The best time to plan a trip to Moscow is April-May and September-October . During these months temperatures are (generally) quite comfortable, though even in April there can be a bit of snow! The summer months are hot, both in regard to temperature as well as activities in the city. While it's a nice time to visit, it's also the busiest time of the year to visit Moscow. Hotel prices reflect this as well and summer definitely isn't a great time for budget travelers to visit Moscow. Winter in Moscow is cold, and I mean seriously cold (-15°C isn't rare). However, if you can withstand the subzero temperatures and freezing winds, it can be a magical time to visit. A snow-covered St. Basil’s Cathedral is a sight you will never forget. Keep in mind that days are short in winter and be sure to bring plenty of warm winter clothes!

The official currency in Russia is the Russian Ruble (₽ or RUB). Here you can find the current exchange rates, at the time of writing €1 is approximately 70RUB and $1 is around 62RUB.

Yes, you probably do. Getting a visa for Russia requires a bit of time and effort. You need to fill out several forms and provide a detailed travel itinerary and information about your accommodation. Also, you will need a Visa Support Letter which can be provided by your travel agency or your hotel. Depending on your nationality, there may be additional requirements, please refer to the information provided on the website of your country's Embassy in Russia.

While most of the things to see in Moscow listed in this post are within walking distance of each other, sometimes you will have to travel a bit further afield. The best way to get around in Moscow is by metro. It's cheap and efficient and a sightseeing activity in itself, because Moscow has the most beautiful metro stations in the world ! Among the most exquisitely decorated stations are Komsomolskaya, Novoslobodskaya, Mayakovskaya, Taganskaya, and Prospect Mira Station, but there are many more worthwhile stations to be found in the Moscow underground. You can purchase a single ticket from one of the ticket machines or get a rechargeable Troika Card when you plan on taking the metro several times. Read more details on how to use the Moscow metro here . If you prefer to get around by taxi, that's possible too. We used the Gett app to order a taxi (similar to Uber) to avoid confusion about our intended destination and having to negotiate in Russian. A convenient extra for families is the Gett Kids option, these cars are outfitted with a car seat.

The best things to do in Moscow

While you could easily spend a week in Moscow (or more), most of us, unfortunately, don't have that much time available.

This 3-day Moscow itinerary will guide you to the most popular and important places to visit in Moscow, as well as to some of the more unusual things to do in Moscow.

Below you can find the list of the Moscow sightseeing highlights included in this post.

Moscow itinerary day 1

There is no better place to start your first day in Moscow, than at the world-famous Red Square.

This square is considered the central square of Moscow, not just because all the major streets start here, but also because no matter where you look when standing on this square, there are historic buildings all around.

Starting with the impressive GUM store and going clockwise, there is the colorful Saint Basil's Cathedral, the Kremlin, Lenin's Mausoleum, the State Historical Museum, and the Kazan Cathedral.

However, before entering any of these Moscow must-see attractions, allow yourself a moment to take in the view and let it sink in that you're standing on historical grounds (and a UNESCO site).

The Red Square was the official address of the Soviet government and played an important part in history. Many military parades have been held (and are still being held) here. It's the place where protests have taken place, as well as high-profile concerts from famous international artists.

All in all, it's one of the places in Moscow you can't miss during your Moscow city trip!

Yulia from That's What She Had: it might seem like visiting a department store is not something you’d do on the first visit to Russia’s capital.

But GUM is not like any other department store and is well worth your time, if only for its unique architecture.

First of all, it’s located right on Red Square which makes it an easy stop on your Moscow trip itinerary. Second, GUM is not a simple mall, but an institution built in the late XIX century.

The abbreviation stands for  Glavniy Universalniy Magazin or Main Universal Store. Its impressive facade extends for over 240 meters along the eastern side of Red Square.

Inside you’ll find a beautiful glass ceiling supported by a metal framework, not unlike the ones found in the old train stations of Great Britain. 

While shopping in GUM will cost you an arm and a leg, there’s one reason why tourists and locals come here anyways:  traditional Russian food  at Stolovaya #57. Stolovaya is Russian for canteen and this is where you can get your  pelmeni , borsch , and  pirozhki  fix!

Afterward, don’t forget to get the famous  plombir  ice cream in one of the kiosks on the ground floor.

Saint Basil's Cathedral with its colorful domes is easily recognizable and one of the most popular Moscow tourist attractions. The building, built on orders from Ivan the Terrible, was completed in 1561 to commemorate the victory over Kazan and Astrakhan.

Until the construction of Ivan the Great Bell Tower (which can be found within the walls of the Kremlin), it was the tallest building in Moscow.

The design of St. Basil's Cathedral is truly unique; it's shaped like the flame of a bonfire and not one building in a similar style can be found in the whole of Russia.

A legend tells the story of how Ivan the Terrible had the architects of the Cathedral blinded so they could never build anything comparable.

This is a myth, however, but the fact remains that Saint Basil's Cathedral is one of a kind and it's not surprising it has become the symbol of Russia.

Wendy from The Nomadic Vegan: Lenin Mausoleum is hard to miss. It's a stepped-pyramid construction that sits right at the base of the Kremlin walls on the western side of Red Square.

Entrance is free but note that opening hours are quite limited, with visiting hours lasting only from 10 am to 1 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

If seeing Lenin's embalmed body is important to you, be sure to take this into account when planning your itinerary in Moscow.

One of my  top tips for travelers to Russia  is to arrive early, well before the mausoleum opens, as the queue is usually quite long. However, usually, the queue does move pretty quickly.

This is especially true now that they have lifted the ban on bags and cameras.

It used to be that all cameras, smartphones, and bags of any size had to be checked at a left-luggage office nearby. But now you can bring a small handbag or backpack as well as your camera and phone.

Photography inside the mausoleum is still strictly forbidden, but you are allowed to take photos of the graves of various other important Russian figures that line the path leading to the mausoleum.

Once you finally enter the mausoleum, the atmosphere is surprisingly peaceful and uncrowded. It doesn't feel nearly as rushed as when visiting Mao Ze Dong's tomb in Beijing or Ho Chi Minh's body in Hanoi , for example.

The illumination of the body is very well done and would make for superb photography if it wasn't forbidden. As an added bonus, just after you exit, you'll see the grave of Joseph Stalin outside.

Rai from A Rai Of Light: the imposing crimson building at the northern end of the Red Square is the State Historical Museum.

By decree of Alexander III, the museum was built with the support of Russian historians, philosophers, and artists. The red brick building, dating from 1875, was designed in the Russian revival style by Vladimir Shervud.

The National Museum of Russia houses a collection of over four million items, devoted to the history of the country's ancient and imperial period.

The exhibitions include many items previously owned by members of the Romanov dynasty, such as documents, artwork, personal items, furnishings, and decorations from the palace interiors.

Another exhibit features relics of the prehistoric tribes that once inhabited this region.

Notable items include ancient manuscripts, birch-bark scrolls, a longboat excavated from the banks of the Volga River, and the largest coin collection in Russia, sourced from the museums in St Petersburg .

The State Historical Museum is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm. The entrance fee is 700₽ per adult.

Moscow itinerary day 2

When listing the best Moscow things to do, one cannot miss the Kremlin! The Kremlin houses the current seat of power in Russia and has done so for several decades.

Within its walls, the offices of the Russian Government can be found. During Soviet rule, the Kremlin was where all the important decisions were made but its history goes back for many centuries.

The first mention of the Kremlin in history books was in 1147, however, the current citadel dates from the 16th century.

The Kremlin is one of the major fortifications found in Europe, with walls that are up to 6.5 meters thick and 19 meters high in particular sections.

Inside the complex, there are many government buildings, however, these aren't accessible to the public.

Around Cathedral Square you'll find (as the name suggests) many churches and cathedrals, such as the Cathedral of the Archangel, Annunciation Cathedral, the Church of Laying Our Lady's Holy Robe, and Ivan the Great Bell-Tower.

While Cathedral Square is definitely worth visiting, the highlight of the Kremlin is a visit to the Armoury.

Inside you can find an impressive collection of Faberge eggs, beautiful dresses worn by Catherine the Great, intricately decorated thrones used by the Tsars, and much more. Unfortunately, photography is forbidden inside the Armoury.

Practical information about visiting the Kremlin

In order to visit both Cathedral Square and the Armoury, you will have to buy two separate tickets. A ticket to Cathedral Square costs 700₽ and a ticket to the Armoury is 1000₽. Prices mentioned are for adults, children below 16 years old are free.

Tickets can be bought at the ticket office onsite on the same day, however, there's no guarantee tickets will be available, especially during peak season.

Conveniently, tickets can be bought online as well, which is highly advisable if you want to make sure you'll be able to visit the Kremlin during your city trip to Moscow.

How much time to spend at the Kremlin

Be sure to allow plenty of time to explore the Kremlin, at least half a day but it's easy to spend more time as there is so much to see.

Please note there isn't any food sold inside the Kremlin, so bring a snack and enough water (especially in summer when it can get pretty hot).

Luggage storage

Backpacks aren't allowed inside the Kremlin, they can be stored (for free) in the cloakroom, but you can bring your camera and a small purse.

We could also take our Babyzen Yoyo stroller inside, which was very convenient as our 10-month-old son could take a nap while we explored the sights.

After the original Cathedral of Christ the Saviour was demolished by Stalin in 1931, a new version was completed in 2000.

The imposing building is the tallest Orthodox Christian church in the world (103 meters high), and is beautiful on the outside as well as on the inside.

Visiting the Cathedral is free of charge and it's open any day of the week from 10 am to 5 pm (except on Mondays when the opening hours are 1 to 5 pm).

When visiting the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour it's important to dress appropriately. For men, this means no shorts or tank tops.

Women can't enter with mini skirts or shorts, strap tops, or anything too revealing. Also, women are advised to cover their heads with a scarf as a sign of respect.

Inside the Cathedral photography isn't allowed, but believe me when I say there is plenty to see. There are beautiful frescoes, colorful icons, impressive statues, and other vivid decorations.

For a beautiful view over Moscow, walk up the stairs to the 40-meter high observation deck (entrance fee 400₽).  

Visit Gorky Park

Helen from Holidays from Hels : Gorky Park, named after the Soviet writer Maxim Gorky, has recently undergone extensive regeneration to become Moscow's central leisure hub for young Muscovites.

Every day of the week you can find many Moscow residents strolling along the banks of the river in the summer, hiring bikes, picnicking on the grass, or dining at one of the many restaurants.

Open-air cinemas, petanque, and ping pong are all on offer. Not to be missed is the iconic white stone entranceway and museum, complete with columns carved with Soviet hammers and sickles.

In winter, look out for the ducks waddling across the frozen Moskva River, and watch boats attempting to navigate through the cracked ice. However, the real winter highlight is to try ice skating on one of the biggest rinks in Europe!

Ice skating in Gorky Park

The park’s maze of pedestrian pathways is transformed into one huge skating rink, which can play host to up to four thousand skaters. 

Not surprisingly, Russians are talented ice skaters and there is a good chance you will find yourself next to a pirouetting ballerina.

Handily, you will find you will already be wearing most of what you need – gloves, hat, scarf, and thick socks and you can hire skates on-site. Lockers are included in the price if you don’t fancy skating with your day pack.

Disco tunes fill the air, and the whole arena is backlit in spectacular neon lights. Rest your weary legs and warm up at one of the cafes dotted along the frozen pathways, with the added bonus of not having to take off your skates.

Opening times

The rink is open from 10 am until 11 pm on weekdays and until midnight at weekends but closes between 3 and 5 pm. Like most attractions in Moscow, the rink is closed on Mondays. 

The prices range from 350-650₽ and go up in the evening, which is the best time for the light show. Arriving at 5 pm, just as the rink opens for the evening session will give you time to find your ice legs before it fills up with more confident skaters.

Whilst waiting for the rink to open, try out the nearby tubing track where you can shoot down a snowy hill on an inflatable ring repeatedly for a very enjoyable half an hour!

How to get to Gorky Park by metro

The nearest metro is Park Kultury Station, on the other side of the river. As always, check out in advance what this looks like in the Russian Alphabet so you know when to get off!

Bolshoi Theatre

James Ian at Travel Collecting : one of the best places to go in Moscow is the famous Bolshoi Theater, located only a short walk from Red square. Bolshoy means big in Russian, and the theatre is not only big but also beautiful.

There are two ways to see the theater: on a guided tour or by watching a performance .

Take a guided tour

• English tours are held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 11:30 am. Tickets for these tours can be bought (on the same day) at the ticket office located in the Historic building of the theatre (door #12).
• A ticket costs 2000₽ per person, tours last one hour, and the number of people on a tour is limited to a maximum of 20. The tour takes you inside the theater and to the historic main stage.

Watch a performance

My favorite way to see the theater, though, is to enjoy a performance and experience the theater as a patron.

The entrance is a little underwhelming when you first arrive, the street lobby is small and quite plain and you will be immediately directed up to your floor.

There are helpful attendants on each floor to guide you to the correct door. Arrive a little early and head up to the Grand Salon on the top floor where you can enjoy a glass of champagne while people-watching (Russians dress up for the theater).

Then head to your seat and take in the stunning theater before enjoying the famous Bolshoi Ballet or another performance.

Be sure to book a show at the historic stage, there is a modern stage as well but that isn't nearly as much fun.

Moscow itinerary day 3

Karen from WanderlustingK : one of the most interesting Moscow places to visit is the Izmailovsky Market .

This flea market and tourist attraction a bit outside of the tourist center is a recreation of a Tzar’s Palace, known as a Kremlin, produced in a colorful 16th-century style.

The market is filled with tiny stalls that sell everything from snacks to kitsch to authentic items from Soviet times such as hats, pins, and other pieces of memorabilia.

You'll also find authentic antiques such as vases, paintings, and other religious items if you're looking to splurge within the interior parts of the market.

Negotiating in English is not always possible as many vendors only speak Russian, so be sure to practice your Russian numbers and see how well you can do with haggling.

It's important to carry cash when you visit given that many vendors do not accept cards. We ended up purchasing a series of hats at the market, along with a beautiful hot tea glass with a metal holder with a typical Russian scene.

Elsewhere in the market, you’ll also find a few tourist shops that sell typical Russian products. It takes a few hours to see the market in full, so arrive early as the best items go quickly! 

Lindsey from Have Clothes, Will Travel : Bunker-42 was once a top-secret, Soviet military complex. Stalin commissioned its construction after the United States succeeded in creating a nuclear bomb.

An impressive 65 meters (or about 213 feet) underground, was the desired depth to protect Russia’s top officials from a nuclear attack.

Bunker 42 became operational in 1954. Fortunately, it was never needed for its true purpose, and instead it was used as the command center of strategic bombers for nearly 30 years.

Nowadays it's a museum dedicated to the Cold War and visiting is a truly unique experience!

You will need to join a tour in order to see the museum. You can call ahead to book your tour (the number is: +7 499 703-44-55), there are several English tours throughout the day that are held at 13:30, 16:30, and 18:30 (the price is 2200₽).

On Mondays, there is an extra tour at 17:30, which lasts an additional 30 minutes and costs 2800₽ per person. There is also the option to book a private tour. However, I am unsure of the price for this.

You will have to wait until exactly 15 minutes before your tour begins before you'll be admitted inside. After paying for your tickets and a quick restroom stop you will descend 65 meters underground…

Another option for visiting Bunker-42, if you would rather not do the tour, is to visit the restaurant inside Bunker-42. Actually, I highly recommend visiting the restaurant before or after a tour as well!

While the food is not that great, it’s worth visiting for a drink. The restaurant is also located within the bunker and is decorated in the old Soviet style.

From time to time there will be live performances and visiting Bunker 42 is definitely an experience worth having while in Moscow! After all, how many people can say they've had a drink in a top-secret Soviet military bunker?

If you’re visiting Moscow during peak season (June-July-August), it would be worth making a reservation, to avoid having to wait. Otherwise, I would not say you need to worry about a reservation at the restaurant.

Bunker-42 is a short cab ride away from Red Square (10-15 minutes). But I recommend taking the metro to get there. The closest station is Taganskaya, which is a beautiful metro station very much worth visiting.

Park Zaryad'ye or Zaryadye Park is a lovely place for a stroll and a nice place to relax after a day of sightseeing in Moscow, especially when exploring Moscow with kids.

There are many things to see and do in this park, but I recommend starting your visit at The River Overlook , a 70-meter-long boardwalk with beautiful views over the river and the Kremlin.

Other interesting places to visit in Zaryadye Park are the Ice Cave, The Museum of Nature, and The Glass Crust. But most importantly, do as the Muscovites do and find yourself a nice place in the park to sit down and relax.

Enjoy the view, do some people-watching, and take a moment to think back about all the Moscow top sights you've seen in the past couple of days.

Where to stay in Moscow

There is a huge amount of hotels in Moscow, ranging from budget hostels to exquisite 5-star hotels. Below you can find three well-reviewed Moscow hotels (rating of 8.5+ on Agoda and  Booking ).

3-star hotel in Moscow: MIRROS Hotel Mokhovaya

This 3-star hotel is one of the best budget Moscow hotels and is all about location! From the hotel, it's just a 10-minute walk to the Kremlin and only 600 meters to the Christ the Savior Cathedral.

Set in a historic 19th-century mansion, the hotel features classic rooms with ensuite bathrooms.

The staff is friendly and there is a metro station nearby (Borovitskaya), making it easy to get to the Moscow attractions a bit further afield.

Click here to book

Modern hotel in Moscow: Barin Residence Myasnitskaya

The Barin Residence Myasnitskaya is a newly built hotel, located about 1.2km from the Red Square (about a 15-20 minute walk).

The rooms and bathrooms are very modern and clean, the beds are comfortable and room service is available. This hotel is an excellent choice for travelers looking for a nice hotel without a hefty price tag.

Luxury hotel in Moscow: Hotel National Moscow

Hotel National is potentially the best Moscow hotel. It's a gorgeous 5-star hotel located just a stone's throw away from the Bolshoi Theater, the Red Square, and the Kremlin.

The building was designed by architect Alexander Ivanov and completed in 1903 and has been welcoming international travelers ever since.

With its imperial architecture, luxury design, and charming classic rooms (some with a view of the Kremlin!), the Hotel National is a unique property.

Furthermore, you can enjoy an indoor pool, sauna, and fitness center as well as the well-reviewed Beluga restaurant that serves both Russian and European dishes.

While this hotel doesn't come cheap, your stay at the Hotel National will make your trip to Moscow an unforgettable experience.
