Major-winning LIV Golf participants, including Brooks Koepka, confirmed participation in forthcoming DP World Tour events
The golfing world is abuzz with anticipation as the 2023 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship approaches. This prestigious event, held in Scotland, will see a star-studded lineup of golfers vying for the coveted title. Among the notable names are three American golfers aiming to break the American curse that has persisted since the tournament's inception in 2001[1][3].
Brooks Koepka, fresh from his stint at the LIV Golf Indianapolis, will be one of the key contenders. He is the defending champion of the Amgen Irish Open and has expressed his excitement about participating in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship[2]. Joining him will be Bubba Watson, who has also shown enthusiasm for the event[2].
Another LIV Golf professional, Patrick Reed, will also be part of the competition. Although Reed is American, he was born in Texas[3]. The trio will be joined by fellow major winners from various countries, including Cameron Smith, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, and Padraig Harrington[2][3].
The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is a pro-am format event, held on the Old Course at St Andrews, Carnoustie, and Kingsbarns in Scotland[3]. The total prize money for the event is a substantial $5 million[1].
In a surprising turn of events, Sergio Garcia has reapplied for DP World Tour membership after paying off his outstanding fines[1]. This means that the Spanish golfing legend could potentially be part of the 2023 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
Meanwhile, Rasmus Hojgaard, the defending champion of the Amgen Irish Open, will not be participating in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. Tyrrell Hatton, who has failed to play the weekend on five occasions in the Irish Open across his career[2], will instead be defending his title at the event in October, along with Koepka and Watson[2].
The Amgen Irish Open, which Koepka will compete in after LIV Golf Indianapolis, is being staged at The K Club from September 4-7[1].
In conclusion, the 2023 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship promises to be an exciting event, with several major winners from around the world vying for the title. Among the key American golfers confirmed are Brooks Koepka, Bubba Watson, and Patrick Reed. Their participation offers a glimmer of hope for American golfers to finally break the curse that has persisted since the tournament's inception in 2001.
