The Open de France returns to Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Breteche for the first time in 43 years, where a competitive field will compete for the title in Paris this weekend. Who will win the latest round of the DP World Tour come Sunday?

Dan Bradbury is back to defend his title after a one-stroke victory over Sam Bairstow, Thorbjorn Olesen, Yannik Paul, and Jeff Winther in 2024.

Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche has hosted the Open de France three times in 1965, 1969, and 1982, and the Seve Trophy in 2009, 2011, and 2013.

These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend.

Corey Conners

Corey Conners was in decent nick between the beginning of May and June on the PGA Tour, placing T11 at the Truist Championship, T19 at the PGA Championship, T25 at the Memorial Tournament, and T27 at the RBC Canadian Open before withdrawing from the U.S. Open.

Conners has shown signs of inconsistency lately, finishing T47 at the Genesis Scottish Open, T10 at the Open Championship, T50 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, 39th at the BMW Championship, and T4 at the Tour Championship before missing the cut at the BMW PGA Championship on the DP World Tour last weekend.

Other notable performances achieved by Conners this year include a T5 at the Sentry and a T24 at the Genesis Invitational, a 3rd at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, a T6 at the Players Championship, a T8 at the Valspar Championship, a T18 at the Valero Texas Open, and a T8 at the Masters.

The Canadian golfer is making his debut at the Open de France this weekend.

Conners has had eight top-ten results this season and has a chance of victory in Paris this weekend.

Adrien Saddier

Adrien Saddier has been performing well on the DP World Tour for the past month, placing T24 at the Danish Golf Championship, T33 at the Omega European Masters, T5 at the Amgen Irish Open, and 2nd at the BMW PGA Championship last weekend.

Additional highlights achieved by Saddier this season include a T11 at the ISPS Handa Australian Open, a T13 at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship, a T7 at the Magical Kenya Open, a T19 at the Joburg Open, a T3 at the Porsche Singapore Classic, a 5th at the Hero Indian Open, and a victory at the Italian Open.

The 33-year-old Frenchman has made nine appearances at the Open de France, with results of MC in 2014, 69th in 2015, T45 in 2016, T16 in 2017, MC in 2018, T32 in 2019, T68 in 2022, T16 in 2023, and T18 in 2024.

Saddier has the form to make him a contender to come out on top in France this weekend.

Angel Ayora

Angel Ayora has been in great touch on the DP World Tour lately, placing T13 at the Betfred British Masters, T8 at the Omega European Masters, T5 at the Amgen Irish Open, and T54 at the BMW PGA Championship last weekend.

Other prominent performances achieved by Ayora this season include a T6 at the BMW Australian PGA Championship, a T23 at the ISPS Handa Australian Open, a T5 at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, a T14 at the Qatar Masters, a T20 at the Magical Kenya Open, a T11 at the Soudal Open, a T19 at the KLM Open, and a T7 at the Italian Open.

The young Spaniard is making his debut at the 2025 Open de France this weekend.

Ayora has come good lately and can secure victory at Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche come Sunday.

Kristoffer Reitan

Kristoffer Reitan has been in solid form on the DP World Tour since July, placing T4 at the BMW International Open, T13 at the Genesis Scottish Open, T30 at the Open Championship, T3 at the Nexo Championship, and T6 at the Danish Golf Championship before finishing T46 at the Betfred British Masters, MC at the Amgen Irish Open, and T24 at the BMW PGA Championship last weekend.

Other noteworthy results achieved by Reitan this season include a T24 at the Bahrain Championship, a T14 at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, a T2 at the Hainan Classic, a victory at the Soudal Open, a T2 at the Alpine Austrian Open, and a T13 at the KLM Open.

The Norwegian placed T18 at the Open de France in 2019.

Reitan has played well this season and should enter calculations at Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche this weekend.

Verdict

Conners has been thereabouts lately and will have a chance of victory if he hits his stride at Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche this weekend.

Saddier has done nothing wrong lately and can win the title in France.

Ayora has been producing good results lately and will fancy his chances to win his maiden DP World Tour title this weekend.

Reitan can emerge as the winner in Paris if he can replicate some of his earlier form.
