One of the most prestigious events on the DP World Tour calendar, the Betfred British Masters, takes place at The Belfry.
The tournament, which is hosted by Sir Nick Faldo, marks the start of the Back 9 phase of the season - a group of tournaments that will generally feature higher purses than previous events this season, as well as more Race to Dubai points.
Those will be crucial as the battle to finish in the top 70 of the Race to Dubai rankings and reach the season-ending DP World Tour Playoffs heats up.
The 2023 tournament, which was won by David Hillier, featured a purse of $3.5m, and that is the figure on offer this year, with the winner set for payday of $595,000 and the runner-up in line for $385,000.
As for the Race to Dubai points available, there are 5,000 on offer at the tournament up from 3,000 that have generally been available in previous regular events this season.
The start of the Back 9 also means there is another $200,000 bonus payment on offer for the player who finishes top of the separate table at the end of the phase.
The Back 9 events also offer playing opportunities for the leading 15 non-DP World Tour members in the top 70 on the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup points standings.

Who Are The Star Names In The Betfred British Masters?

Last year, New Zealander David Hillier claimed his maiden DP World Tour title at the event, and he returns to The Belfry hoping to emulate that success.
One of the standout names in the field is LIV golfer Tyrrell Hatton. He is eyeing a Ryder Cup place and needs to play a minimum of four DP World Tour events this season to have a chance of making the European team for the match at Bethpage Black in a year.
His appearance this week will be his second on the DP World Tour this season, after his finish of T31 in the Dubai Desert Classic in January.
Team Europe captain Luke Donald is also in the field, while another high-profile Englishman competing is 2016 Masters champion Danny Willett.
Other notable names playing in their homeland include Daniel Brown, who led after the first round of The Open before finishing T10, Robert Rock, who appears on a professional tournament invitation and amateur Kris Kim who, aged 16, became the youngest player to make the cut at a PGA Tour event in May’s CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
Robert Rock is one of several high-profile English players competing at the Betfred British Masters
