Description
The opening round of the 2025 MENA Tour Qualifying School marks the highly anticipated return of the tour after a significant hiatus. Staged at the demanding Troia Golf Course in Portugal, the 54-hole event is the gateway for players seeking one of the 50 available Category 3 cards for the 2025–26 season. The strategic narrative for Thursday centers on the course's rugged, links-style layout designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., known for its narrow fairways and small, well-guarded greens. For the international field, the primary hurdle is the sandy, scrub-filled waste areas that punish any errant tee shots.
The headline story for Round 1 is the presence of three-time DP World Tour winner and former Ryder Cup star Chris Wood. After a period away from the spotlight to focus on his mental health, Wood is using Q-School as the first step in his competitive comeback. Strategically, his experience on major championship layouts is expected to be a massive advantage over the younger field. However, with the Atlantic winds whipping across the Troia peninsula, tactical patience and precise iron play will be the keys to surviving the opening 18 holes.

Result Description
Chris Wood lived up to his top-billing during the first round of the 2025 MENA Tour Q-School, firing a scintillating 6-under par 66 to take a dominant four-shot lead. Wood’s round was a tactical clinic in course management; he utilized a 2-iron off the tee on the tighter par-4s to avoid the punishing sandy rough and took advantage of the par-5 14th with a clinical up-and-down for birdie. His bogey-free performance set a high bar for the rest of the field and served notice that the Englishman is back to his ball-striking best.
Behind Wood, the leaderboard is tightly packed with players vying for those crucial tour cards. England's Will Marshall sits in solo second after a steady 2-under 70, while a large group including Scotland's Sebastian Sandin, France's Nicolas Calvet, and Italy's Ludovico Addabbo are all within striking distance after carding even-par rounds of 72. With only the top 50 earning full status, the pressure is already mounting for those in the middle of the pack, particularly as the Troia greens began to firm up and speed up toward the end of the day.
