The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is here and as it is played at the home of golf, it always attracts a healthy selection of players
The professional competition is played across three of the best golf courses on the planet, let alone Scotland: The Old Course at St Andrews (said home of golf), Carnoustie and Kingsbarns.
The professionals play for the winner’s trophy, but also with an amateur partner which is often a celebrity or a family member. 168 players are paired with 168 amateurs, so this always brings out some interesting performances from celebrities and family members.
Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Patrick Reed, Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, Tyrrell Hatton, Bob MacIntyre, Jon Rahm and defending champion Matt Fitzpatrick are all playing. Last year, Matt Fitzpatrick also won the team event alongside his mother Susan.
MacIntyre, who won the RBC Canadian Open on the PGA Tour with his father Dougie on the bag (plus the Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club) will also be hoping to lift more silverware but this time with his father playing.
We are coming towards the end of the DP World Tour season and while some of the world’s best players are in the field, it is an important time for these DP World Tour members hunting spots in the DP World Tour Playoffs. The better they play, the more chance they have of keeping their memberships and reaching the season finale.
After this week is done, we have just three more events before the DP World Tour Playoffs begin at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship at Yas Links which begins on November 7.
The top 70 players in the Race to Dubai rankings get into that event, with the top 50 thereafter heading to the DP World Tour Championship the following week at the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
