Who is Adrien Dumont de Chassart? Belgian is having solid PGA Tour season

Adrien Dumont de Chassart , with a four-tiered name that smacks of European royalty, is climbing the leaderboard on March 28 in the third round of the Texas Children’s Houston Open , at the Memorial Park Golf Club. He birdied three of four holes early to get on the first page of the board and at one point was four shots behind leader Gary Woodland . De Chassart stumbled with a double bogey at No.

12 but recovered with a birdie at the 13th hole but at that point has still fallen eight shots behind Woodland. De Chassart opened the tournament with rounds of 67-68 to post five rounds in the 60s in his last eight. De Chassart entered the tournament 91 st on the FedEx Cup points list and 160 th in the world.

And he’s got both a national and an educational pedigree in golf. Who is Adrien Dumont de Chassart? The 26-year-old native of Villiers-la-Ville, Belgium is one of a group of international players who have made the First Coast their American base of operations in recent years, following Ludvig Åberg (Sweden), Karl Vilips (Australia), Nico Echavarria (Colombia) and Carl Yuan (China).

De Chassart is the latest in a line of golfers from Belgium, which began with Nicolas Colsaerts, a three-time DP World Tour winner who played on the winning 2012 Ryder Cup team. Between Colsaerts and De Chassart have been Thomas Detry and Thomas Pieters , who are both playing in the LIV Golf League (Detry won the 2025 WM Phoenix Open on the PGA Tour). Oddly enough, Colsaerts is an on-course analyst for LIV events.
