For Swedish pro Rasmus Rosin, the 2023 NEXT Golf Tour has been a story of consistent excellence — and near-misses.


Rasmus Rosin_ Six Questions

Six Questions: Rasmus Rosin

He shot seven-under 65 in Round 1, but a double-bogey on 18 cost him the victory. His five-under 67 in Round 3 put him atop the leaderboard, but he dropped to T-2 after losing the tiebreaker. After posting another 67 in Round 5, he was poised once more for a breakthrough win, but again fell just one stroke short.

Still, Rosin continued to collect big checks along the way, averaging more than $10,600 per round. He heads into the season finale with an insurmountable lead on the Order of Merit, guaranteeing him the $15,000 bonus that goes to the season champion. 


Rosin will tee it up in the finale on Thursday in Linköping, Sweden, at the indoor golf center where he works part-time. A win at Copperhead would not only put another $20,000 in his bank account, but also put an exclamation point on a staggering run of success in the inaugural season of the NEXT Golf Tour. We caught up with him during his preparation for what promises to be a memorable final round.

The passion for the game and to win is motivating me the most.

What motivates you?

What’s your greatest strength as a player?

What’s your greatest weakness?

The best advice that I ever got is to always focus on the next shot, and to work hard for a long time. Because it will take a long time to become a great player.

What’s the best golf tip you ever received?

I usually go for the safe shot in that type of situation.

In a risk/reward situation, do you go for the hero shot or do you play it safe?

I would play with Tiger Woods and we would play at Pebble Beach.

If you could play a round with anyone, past or present, who would it be, and where would you play?

Thanks for playing, Rasmus. Congratulations on a fantastic season!

Player Spotlight

A defining feature of the NEXT Golf Tour format is the tournament window, which gives players the flexibility to complete their round any time within a 12-day period. For Nikke Tyry, who was the second player to post a score in Round 4, that meant an 11-day wait to see if his seven-under 65 at The Concession would hold up.

Six Questions: Nikke Tyry

It did, earning the 10-year Finnish pro his first professional win and a paycheck worth $19,101.

Tyry finished in the money in three rounds and headed into the season finale ranked No. 7 on the Order of Merit. We caught up with him shortly after his round at Copperhead, where he shot 68 to remain in contention for a top-10 finish in both the tournament and the OOM.

The competition and the challenge to bring everything out of myself for each event, and to prove to myself I can do what I dream of.

The power and the iron play, but most of all I think the belief I have In myself.

What is your greatest strength as a player?

I used to be very wild off the tee, but I hope I turned the driving to my strength — at least on the NEXT Golf Tour I did.

What is your greatest weakness?

There are players who keep their nerve and win, and players who don’t.

I would love to say I go for it, but I calculate a lot and make the best decision based on the situation. That is so important in golf, to know your own game and capabilities.

I would play with Joachim Altonen and we would play a best ball against Tiger and Rory. And it would happen at Helsinki Golf Club on a nice Finnish evening when the sun won’t set 😎.

If you could play a round with anyone, past or present, who would be in your foursome, and where would you play?

Thanks for playing, Nikke. Congratulations on a fantastic season!

Mathias_Gladbjerg_round_1_winner_NEXT

Six Questions with Mathias Gladbjerg

It’s only fitting that we kick off our season finale Player Spotlight series with the first player to win a NEXT Golf Tour event, Mathias Gladbjerg of Denmark. 

In January, Gladbjerg shot a bogey-free 64 (-8) at the Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course at PGA West, which still ranks as the lowest round shot in NEXT competition (later tied by his fellow countryman Jeppe Kristian in Round 2). 

After finishing in the money in four of five rounds, Gladbjerg headed into the season finale ranked No. 2 on the Order of Merit behind Sweden’s Rasmus Rosin. We caught up with Gladbjerg just before he teed off at Copperhead, where he posted a two-over-par 73 and remained in the running for the $9,000 bonus awarded to the OOM runner-up.

The winning feeling is what motivates me the most! To be able to have golf courses around the world as my office!

My driving and long game.

Putting and short game, but it has been better so far this year!

Hmm, I don’t really know. I’ll go with … just hit it long and straight! 😅🤣

What's the best golf tip you ever received?

If I’m playing really solid and hitting the ball like I want to, I go for the hero shot! If I’m struggling, I always try and play more safe.

In a risk/reward situation, do you go for the hero shot or play it safe?

My dream foursome would be Tiger and Charlie Woods vs. me and my brother at Augusta. 🤣

Thanks for playing, Mathias. Congratulations on a fantastic season!

Six Questions: Mathias Gladbjerg

The 2023 NEXT Golf Tour season finale is here and field is set. The top 100 and ties — 101 players in all — are battling for a share of the $100,000 purse at the Innisbrook Copperhead course. 

The winner of the finale, which concludes Sunday, April 2, will take home the largest paycheck of the season: $20,000. The top 10 players on the Order of Merit after the finale will split a $50,000 bonus pool.

Eight amateurs made the cut, including David Mecca of the US, who shot -4 in Round 5 — the best score of the season by an amateur — and finished No. 20 on the Order of Merit. He would have earned $6,137 in Round 5 as a professional, but amateur rules limited his earnings to $1,000. 

Round 3 winner Sofie Kibsgaard-Nielsen of Denmark finished in the money in all five rounds, landing at No. 4 on the Order of Merit. She and Rachel Raastad-Andersson (No. 83) of Norway are the two women who made the cut. 

Among the 101 finalists, only 14 played in all five rounds. Ten finalists played only one round but earned at least $725 to crack the top 100. 

NEXT has become a truly global tour. The United States has the most players in the field with 23, followed by Denmark (20), Sweden (20), Canada (10), UK (8), Norway (4), Australia (3), Iceland (2), Italy (2), Finland (2), and one each from Venezuela, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Mexico and France. 

Sweden’s Rasmus Rosin, who finished in the top five of every event, is the runaway leader on the season-long Order of Merit and has already locked up a $15,000 bonus. That leaves $35,000 up for grabs between the rest of the top 10.
