Matt Fitzpatrick holds a commanding five-shot lead heading into the final round.

The 2026 FedEx Open de France is being played at Le Golf National near Paris, with a $3.75 million purse and $637,500 going to the winner. Matt Fitzpatrick held a five-shot lead over Tom Vaillant with 18 holes remaining, while defending champion Michael Kim is among a strong field that includes Tommy Fleetwood and Brooks Koepka. The 72-hole event has a cut after 36 holes, and the winner also earns 835 Race to Dubai points, world-ranking points and a two-season DP World Tour exemption.
Le Golf National is in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, just outside Paris, and hosted Europe’s 2018 Ryder Cup victory over the United States.
The Open de France dates to 1906, making it one of professional golf’s oldest national opens.
Defending champion Michael Kim won the 2025 event by one stroke, becoming just the fourth American to claim the title; he received $552,500 from the $3.25 million purse.
The 2026 runner-up is set to earn more than $400,000, while a top-seven finish is expected to pay at least $100,000.
