Each aim achieved opens a brand new door to the longer term, there’s little or no time to cease. “A few weeks, no extra. Then I begin once more”. Matteo Manassero has simply closed 2024 – an intense season, stuffed with satisfactions – which marked his return to victory on the DP World Tour after 11 years and above all introduced him again among the many greats of golf. When he was a child he was thought-about the following surprise, the whole lot got here straightforward to him, then issues bought tangled. His story is well-known, the autumn to the Alps Tour, the rise via the Problem. There isn’t a level in repeating what might have been and wasn’t. The one certainty is that at 31, due to the outcomes on the DP World, he has earned the correct to play on the PGA, crucial and richest circuit. It’s a type of turning factors that change a profession, maybe a lifetime. Within the American tournaments there are extra world factors up for grabs, extra money obtainable. After all, the competitors shall be extra ruthless, however the most effective – and Matteo is one – have to be with the most effective. This yr there will even be the Ryder Cup, in New York, in September. Simply yesterday it was introduced that Matteo shall be a part of the continental Europe staff towards Nice Britain within the Workforce Cup, which is a sort of gown rehearsal for the Ryder to construct a gaggle from which to decide on who to take to New York: “It’s actually an honor to be a part of this staff, in Abu Dhabi I’ll give my finest”. And Matteo didn’t get to sure outcomes by probability. In recent times he has constructed a staff that he trusts and to which he owes his rebirth.
Manassero, statements
"At this moment we are very proud of the result achieved. It's exciting for everyone to have had such a rewarding year because – as I've always said – I put into practice many things that are born thanks to my team. It's obvious that then I'm on the field, but I'm only the terminal of everyone's work".
"I still have to make many decisions, but given how the calendar is structured I think that especially at the beginning and in the central part of the year, let's say until August, I will be more focused on America. After that we will have to see where I am in the rankings and take stock. Maybe there will be the need to continue in America and participate in the autumn tournaments to confirm the card, or I will see if I play more in Europe in the Back 9 Series, the last races of the season. The only certainty is that I will start by playing mainly on the PGA and then we will see along the way. It will be a new and different season also in terms of planning, so I am also curious".
"At the beginning I will go back and forth for a few months and then if in the meantime I have understood where I am more comfortable, where I like to be with my wife since Francesca will often accompany me, then maybe I will consider the hypothesis. I don't want to do anything definitive from day one, I prefer to take one step at a time. I know that going back and forth for many months will become tiring, but I prefer to start like this rather than taking a step longer than I can chew".
