Italian Senior Open Tips

Dredge has found a second wind since joining the Legends Tour. His accurate approach play and tactical course management have earned him several podium finishes in 2024 and early 2025. He thrives on courses that reward precision over power, and San Domenico’s tight fairways play right into his strengths. Dredge’s ability to stay patient and grind through tough stretches gives him a serious chance to stay in contention right up to Sunday.

Peter Baker has been one of the most disciplined golfers on the senior circuit. His swing remains technically sound, and his iron play continues to be a model of consistency. Baker’s familiarity with Italian courses, having played multiple events in the region, means he knows how to handle both the climate and course temperament. His high fairways-hit percentage will keep him in position throughout the week. If his putter heats up, Baker could easily push for the win.

Thomas Gögele enters this year’s event with every reason to be confident. He dominated the 2024 edition at San Domenico Golf Club, posting 19 under par to win comfortably. His accuracy with irons and calm putting stroke under windy coastal conditions are perfectly suited to this course. Since that victory, Gögele has added several top-10 finishes across the Legends Tour, showing he’s still in strong rhythm. With his familiarity with both the course layout and tournament pressure, he’s again the man everyone has to beat.
