Hopps Open de Provence

« All the eyes of the golfing world will be on France in September and as part of the build up to The Ryder Cup we are holding our own tournament which will feature plenty of future stars. »

« Ryder Cup heroes Justin Rose, Henrik Stenson, Martin Kaymer, Ian Poulter and Thomas Bjørn all came through Challenge Tour ranks, and have gone on to reach the summit of world golf after starting on our tour. »

« Golf International de Pont Royal is an excellent course and we have to thank all those involved at the highly-regarded venue for agreeing to host a Challenge Tour event. »

« We must also thank Hopps Group, the French Federation and Pro Sports Events for helping us to get this new event up and running. »

« We are very happy to promote the Open de Provence by Hopps Group at the Pont Royal. »

« The golf course is of the highest quality and is recognised as the only Ballesteros design in France, and we felt that the south of France and Provence in particular deserves to host an international professional event. The Challenge Tour represents for us the perfect opportunity in this special Ryder Cup year. »

« As a leader of delivery and local communication with a national headquarter based in Aix en Provence, we are delighted to be the sponsor of the Open de Provence by Hopps Group on such a beautiful site and in a region that is particularly dear to us. »

« This partnership, with a Challenge Tour event, will allow us to strengthen the reputation of our group and highlight our brands such as Adrexo, Colis Privé, Dispéo, Pataugas and Watts. »

« We are excited to welcome the Challenge Tour to Pont Royal. »

« Down the years the venue has proved itself more than capable of having the infrastructure required to handle such an event, in addition, naturally, to having a golf course well suited to testing professionals and amateurs alike. »
