Last month, Sami Välimäki overcame Jorge Campillo in a play-off to win the 2023 Commercial Bank Qatar Masters after hunting down the Spaniard during a thrilling back-nine battle. That was the Finn’s second victory on the DP World Tour after picking up his maiden triumph in just his sixth start at the 2020 Oman Open.

Välimäki turned professional in early 2019 after the completion of his military service in Finland.
