Italian star Guido Migliozzi will return to The International to defend his KLM Open title from June 5-8, following his thrilling play-off victory over Joe Dean and Marcus Kinhult.
The 28-year-old will headline a strong field competing for a record prize fund of €2,750,000, the highest purse in the tournament’s history and the most lucrative in Dutch sport.
Joining Migliozzi in the field are former champion Pablo Larrazábal, Major winner Jimmy Walker, and a strong Dutch contingent featuring Joost Luiten, Darius van Driel, and Wil Besseling.
Luiten, a two-time KLM Open winner in 2013 and 2016, will make his 18th appearance at the tournament, while Van Driel and Besseling return after strong seasons that secured their places on the DP World Tour.
The 105th edition will also mark a significant milestone, as Dutch football legend Ruud Gullit is appointed co-tournament director, sharing the role with long-time sporting lead Daan Slooter.
An avid golfer and proud Amsterdam native, Gullit takes on the role during the city’s 750th anniversary celebrations - a fitting tribute to both his hometown and his love of the game.
Daan Slooter, Tournament Director, said: "With Guido Migliozzi, Pablo Larrazábal, Jimmy Walker, a strong Dutch trio, and the increased prize money, we are taking a solid first step towards another outstanding edition of the KLM Open. The tournament continues to be a key fixture on the DP World Tour calendar - both for players and fans.”
The KLM Open has long delivered a unique mix of world-class golf and festival-style entertainment. Under the banner “Great golf, good times”, the 2025 event will deepen that tradition, linking elite sport with Amsterdam’s historic celebrations.
Ruud Gullit, Co-Tournament Director, said: “Golf is a sport of connection and joy. The KLM Open is a fantastic event that combines high-level sport with a great experience. To be part of it in the year my city celebrates its 750th anniversary - on my home course - makes it even more special.”
With The International’s stunning setting just outside Amsterdam, the stage is set for another exciting edition of the KLM Open where the best in golf will meet one of Europe’s most vibrant celebrations.
