Update on Upcoming Events in Egypt:

Due to the ongoing conflict in the Gulf region, the Pro Golf Tour is currently reviewing whether the tournaments scheduled to take place in Egypt from 7–14 April 2026 can be held as planned.

The safety and well-being of all players, caddies, officials, and staff remains our highest priority.

At this stage, no final decision has been made. The Pro Golf Tour will make a final decision before the entry deadline on 19 March 2026 and will inform all players immediately once this decision has been taken.

We appreciate your understanding and patience while this evaluation is ongoing.

The April tournaments (7–9 April 2026 and 12–14 April 2026) will be relocated from Cairo to Ain Sokhna, provided that the regional conditions allow the events to take place safely.

Clement Batut starts as leader into the season

Red Sea Egyptian Classic 2018

Ain Sokhna/Ägypten – The first tournament-round of the season for Clement Batut was nearly flawless: The 27-year-old started at 11:35 am local time from tee 10 into the event with a birdie, four more followed on the next nine holes. Only on hole 3 the man from France needed one stroke more than par. But as he came to hole 4 and 7 two more birdies made their way onto his scorecard. As he reached the clubhouse, Batut scored a 66 and was ranked first on the leaderboard. A victory would be a highlight in his carreer, as his best result on the Pro Golf Tour so far was a shared seventh rank at the Haugschlag NÖ Open 2017.

Mateusz Gradecki from Poland only needed one stroke more than Batut. The second-ranked also had to note a bogey, but also six birdies were signed on his scorecard. Third place is shared by Batuts fellow-countryman Mathieu Decottignies Lafon, who has already won twice on the tour, and Chris Robb from Scotland, with eacg four under par. Another Scotsman is in the center of attention: Liam Johnston is currently ranked as shared 7th with -2. The rookie earned his category by winning the Q-School last season.

The second round of the Red Sea Egyptian Classic will start on Wednesday 7:10 am local time.
