Matteo Manasseer has lived many lives in Golf.
In 2009, at the age of 16, Manasseer became the youngest who won the British amateur. A month later, he was the best amateur in the 2009 Open Championship, where he finished T13 on Turnberry. That was just four shots off the Play off between Stewart Cink and Tom Watson. He was the world -ranked number 1 in the world by the end of the year and became younger to ever cut the Masters next April. He returned in favor and won four times on the European tournament, including BMW PGA 2013, where he surpassed Sergio Garcia, Ernie Els, Lee Westwood, Francesco Molinari and others. He rose to number 25 in the official world golf rankings.
Then, the new Italian game fell and quickly. He recorded only one Top-10 conclusion in 2014, made only six cuts in 2015 and was no longer a member of the European card tournament until 2018. Manassero Manasseer Cobweb briefly after losing his joy for the game. He took time to reflect, not only on Golf and his career, but in life – for what he wanted from him. He sought happiness outside the golf. He met with his wife, Francesca Apollonio, and eventually found himself rebuilding his golf game from the ground up.
In 2020, Manassero could only play in Tour Alps, the third European Golf Division. This is where his great golf revival began.
In September 2020, Manasseer won Toscano Alps Open, who brought him out in a run on the Challenge tournament. The work continued. Two years later, in 2023, Manasseer won the Copenhagen Challenge and Italian Challenge Open to return to the World Tournament of PD. Last March, Manassero repeated completely, winning Jonsson DP’s work dresses in South Africa. This victory helped him win his PGA Tour card for the 2025 season through the Tour World Tour acceptance path.
Manasseer, Prodigy Golfing blessed with agile touches and picturesque shakes that once withdrawn from Pro Golf, did it all the way Back to the top of the Pro Golf Stair.
But the great story of the 32-year-old golf revival has not been written. And after he fired a third 64 Saturday at RBC Canadian OpenManasseer, who is linked to the 54-year-old lead with Ryan Fox, will have a chance to penalize the best chapter of his resurrection on Sunday at TPC Toronto in Osprey Valley.
Manasseer’s best PGA Tour Tour’s 2014 championship, where he ended up for the eight. His best conclusion this season came to the team’s event, Zurich Classic of New Orleans, where he ended up in a tie for the 12th with his partner Cristobal del Solar.
Sunday will be a big round for Manasseer. From this, there is no doubt. A PGA Tour win means an invitation to the masters, the PGA championship and players, as well as a two-year exception in PGA Tour.
But Manasseer’s journey to Abyss Golfing learned him not to focus on the price at the end. Being focused on the results is what started its spiral. Through his back trip, a new mentality has appeared – the one who will bow to Sunday as he watches Best A route chart filled with trips who have not achieved what he has or has stared at the demons he did.
“It has definitely made me more mature and much better perspective on golf, which at one point was everything,” Manasseer said on Saturday for his journey. “The oriented results, which I find out are not a very good thing about my game and for me. So I got out of this, and I try to take a good attitude, a good process of thinking, talk well with myself. Very fundamental things, but that’s what I learned along with many other things I want to get into detail.
“But I’m a lot of ripe, and I have a better perspective straight. For example, a day like tomorrow.”
And so, Matteo Manasseer, once the great savagery of the golf, which was destined to live in the stars, will go to sleep on Saturday holding some of the lead at a PGA Tour event. He will rest knowing a lot is in line on Sunday at TPC Toronto.
Safety at work, large coveted invitations. But most importantly, a sign that Matteo Manasseer, who has been in Abyss Golf and back, can still write his conclusion in a wonderful golf story that now looks very far.
