One of the most anticipated events on the DP World Tour calendar, the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, takes place at three famous Scottish courses - the Old Course at St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns. 

There, many of the world's best players will compete, including the likes of World No.3 Rory McIlroy, defending champion Matt Fitzpatrick and 14 of the best players LIV Golf has to offer, including five-time Major winner Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm, who has two Major titles.

The action gets underway on Thursday at 4.00am ET (9.00am BST) on all three courses, with the tee times for the first three rounds confirmed. After that, a cut will see the remaining 60 professionals and ties play the final round at the Old Course.
