The event, put on with the Fédération Française de Golf, was canceled in each of the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We are also looking forward with great anticipation to going back to Le Golf National which is undoubtedly one of Europe’s leading venues and which provides such a strong test for our players."
