Rory McIlroy, ranked No. 1 in the Race to Dubai standings, opens the tournament playing with his father Gerry at Carnoustie. Thriston Lawrence and Billy Horschel (No. 2 and 3 in the Race to Dubai) join Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm, Shane Lowry and Hatton at the tough coastal course. Patrick Reed opens his tournament at St. Andrews, while Scotland’s own Robert Macintyre, No. 6 in the Race to Dubai points chase, is also playing his first round at Carnoustie.

Players are competing for a $5 million purse and an $850,000 winner’s share, with the victor also claiming 835 points in the Race to Dubai standings with just four events remaining before the DP World Tour Playoffs. Besides Hatton, only Pádraig Harrington has managed multiple wins in the event, taking the crown in both 2002 and 2006.

The tournament launched in 2001 as a replacement for the Alfred Dunhill Cup, a three-man tournament played at St. Andrews from 1985-2000. Among the celebrities playing this year are actor Andy Garcia, singer Huey Lewis, musician Tico Torres, surfer Kelly Slater, actor Bill Murray, TV presenter Piers Morgan and former Wales football captain Gareth Bale.
