acciona Open de España preview: Field, tee times and groups
Last updated:
Jon Rahm will tee it up for the first time since the Ryder Cup at the acciona Open de España as he seeks to defend the DP World title in his homeland.
Victory at this year’s acciona Open de España would be Rahm’s fourth in five years at his home Open and help him close the gap on Rory McIlroy at the top of the Race to Dubai rankings as we head towards the DP World Tour Championship.
Rahm will be joined in the field at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid – one of the best golf courses in Spain – by Ryder Cup teammate Justin Rose and vice-captain Thomas Bjorn.
Just five kilometers from the Spanish capital, the par-71, 7,112-yard course is one that the World No.2 knows well, having won the title here in 2018 and 2019.
Who is playing in the 2023 acciona Open de España?
World No.2 Jon Rahm headlines the field in Madrid with Ryder Cup teammate and former US Open winner Justin Rose another big draw for the fans.
Alex Fitzpatrick, touted by many as a 2025 Ryder Cup team member, will also tee it up, as will six-time DP World Tour winner Joost Luiten, Yannik Paul, and Thomas Bjorn.
Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of Spaniards in the field, with Adri Arnaus, Pablo Larrazabal, Jorge Campillo, Adrian Otaegui, Rafa Cabrera Bello, and Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano among those hoping to win their home Open.
