Lawrence will compete in the DS Automobiles Italian Open at Marco Simone Golf Club in Rome from Thursday May 4.
“Grateful to be in Rome this week after the first quarter of the year was full of ups and downs. Very excited for everything that’s coming up, including the PGA Championship.
“I sustained a thumb injury earlier in the year, pushed through, took some time off over Easter, spent time with family, went fishing, and got to play a few local Sunshine Tour events.
“What an honour to be doing what I love, with the support of friends and family,” Lawrence said on his Facebook page.
Lawrence has won three DP World Tour titles in the 2022 and 2023 seasons, the Joburg Open, the European Masters and the South African Open.
