The European Tour heads for Holland this week and the KLM Open at Kennemer G&CC in Zandvoort. Home player Joost Luiten is the defending champion in this prestigious tournament.

An impressive field has assembled for this event, as the 2014 European Tour heads towards its Final Series. Defending champ Joost Luiten is looking forward to competing again on home soil.

"The victory last year took a while to sink in," he said. "It was great to see all the people going crazy though and my family being there. That was special. The win really helped grow the game of golf in this country, so it was a great thing to do. I'd love to be up there again."

Luiten is joined on the start sheet by Major champions: Darren Clarke, Padraig Harrington, Paul Lawrie and Jose Maria Olazabal. Italy's Matteo Manassero will tee it up, so too Paul Casey, Robert Karlsson and last week's European Masters winner David Lipsky.

The Dutch Open was first contested back in 1912 when Englishman George Pannell was victorious. Since then many famous professionals have claimed the title including - J.H Taylor, Bobby Locke, Roberto De Vicenzo, Seve Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer and Colin Montgomerie.

Last year, home favourite Joost Luiten came through a playoff against the veteran Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez to record a memorable victory. It was only the second time a Dutchman had taken the title - Maarten Lafeber won the event in 2003.

Opened in 1927, the seaside course at Kennemer is the work of the ubiquitous English designer Harry Colt. It has a links feel and wind is always a factor here.

There's an incredible hole-in-one prize up for grabs this week. If any of the players can ace the 15th hole, they'll win a trip into space courtesy of XCOR Space Expeditions.

"With this prize we wish to create awareness among the public that space is now also accessible for everyone," says Michiel Mol, from XCOR Space Expeditions. "Journeys into space can be made starting from the end of 2015. We already have 300 bookings."

Player Watch:

Richie Ramsay: The Scot was eighth last week after opening with a scintillating 62. He produced a 64 in his last round at Kennemer last year, so he clearly enjoys the course.

Shane Lowry: The Irishman is a good wind and links player. He played well here last year and was tied 13th last week in Switzerland.

Brett Rumford: He has one of the best short games in professional golf and that could give him an advantage around this short, tricky course. He finished strongly last week with a closing 64 and will be looking to take that form into this week.
