The DP World Tour reaches England for the first time in the season with the Betfred British Masters at The Belfry.

One player certain to catch the eye will be former World No.1 and 2013 US Open champion Justin Rose.

The Englishman, who currently ranks 31st in the world, is enjoying a good season. He won February’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and followed that up with top-10 finishes in The Players Championship, PGA Championship and RBC Canadian Open. With that form, he will surely be hopeful of claiming his second title in the tournament after winning it 21 years ago.

Min Woo Lee is another in the world’s top 50 who is participating. The Australian finished tied for fifth in the US Open and followed that up with a tie for ninth at the Travelers Championship, and he looks for his third DP World Tour win this week.

At World No.48, Adrian Meronk completes the list of players from the top 50 in the field. The Pole finished T3 in the DP World Tour’s most recent event, the BMW International Open, and he will look to continue that fine form.

The defending champion is Dane Thorbjorn Olesen, who beat Swede Sebastian Soderberg by one shot in 2022 with an eagle-birdie finish to claim his sixth DP World Tour title. The 33-year-old has won again on the Tour since that occasion, in February’s Thailand Classic, while he also finished third in May’s Soudal Open. Given his history in the tournament and that good recent form, he will be one to watch this week.

The winner of that tournament was Thriston Lawrence, who chased down Joost Luiten to claim his fourth DP World Tour title, and both players compete this week.

As well as Rose, other former winners of the tournament include Italian Renato Paratore, who won three years ago and 2019 winner Marcus Kinhult of Sweden. Along with Rose, 2018 winner Eddie Pepperell will also have the backing of local fans.

Another player who will be hoping to build on some good recent form is Victor Perez. The French player won January’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and finished T9 in the May’s Italian Open.

The tournament, which is hosted by six-time Major winner Sir Nick Faldo, has a $3.5m purse, with the winner earning $595,000.

Below is the full prize breakdown and field for the 2023 Betfred British Masters.
