The Austrian Alpine Open title at Golfclub Kitzbühel-Schwarzsee-Reith for the first time this weekend from May 28-31 with four best bets picked out for the DP World Tour event.
Nicolai von Dellingshausen is back to defend his title after a two-stroke victory over Kristoffer Reitan and Marcel Schneider in 2025.
Golfclub Kitzbühel-Schwarzsee-Reith hosted the Kitzbühel Golf Alpin Open on the European Challenge Tour in 2003 and steps up to DP World Tour level for the first time.
These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend.
Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra
Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra had a solid start to his new season on the DP World Tour, placing T28 at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, 3rd at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, T25 at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, and T15 at the Dubai Invitational.
Lopez-Chacarra struggled with his game after those performances, with results of MC at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, T41 at the Bahrain Championship, and MC at the Qatar Masters.
However, the 26-year-old has been in decent nick lately, finishing T21 at the Puerto Rico Open (PGA Tour), MC at the Hainan Classic, 2nd at the Hero Indian Open, T9 at the Tulum Championship (Korn Ferry Tour), T33 at the Volvo China Open, T18 at the Turkish Airlines Open, T10 at the Catalunya Championship, and T22 at the Soudal Open last weekend.
