Hojgaard said via Golf Shake:

“I think Lübker is an excellent choice, and I am confident that the players, both Danish and international, will enjoy the course and venue. It is a top-class golf facility that I am familiar with, and I am excited to defend my title in front of the world’s best fans next summer."

The venue is new to a DP World Tour event like the Danish Championship, but it has played host to the Challenge Tour, ECCO Tour, and European Tour Q-School events before.
