The spotlight falls on three Italian winners of the season and top performers in the money list: Edoardo Raffaele Lipparelli (No. 1, New Giza Open), Gianmaria Rean Trinchero (No. 5, Tunisian Golf Open), and Mattia Comotti (No. 6, Memorial Giorgio Bordoni by AON). Joining them is Frenchman Aymeric Laussot (No. 2), who claimed victory in the Ein Bay Open.

Golf rules serve as a comprehensive set of standard norms and procedures governing the game of golf. These regulations are jointly authored and managed by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the global governing body for golf, with the exception of the United States and Mexico, which fall under the jurisdiction of the United States Golf Association. A committee of experts comprised of members from both the R&A and USGA periodically oversees and refines the rules every four years. The latest revision came into effect on January 1, 2016.
Changes to golf rules generally fall into two main categories: those aimed at enhancing understanding and those designed to, in certain cases, reduce penalties to ensure fairness. The rulebook, titled “Rules of Golf,” is regularly published and also includes regulations governing amateur status in golf.
In Italy, the oversight of competitions and the enforcement of rules are the responsibilities of Federgolf. They ensure that the rules are adhered to by clubs, associations, and their members, and also administer sports justice arising from rule violations, safeguarding the interests of Italians abroad.
