Tiger Woods headlines the field for the 150th Open Championship at St Andrews next month.
The 15-time Major winner missed the US Open – having made his comeback at the Masters – as he continued his battle back to fitness following a serious car crash last year, but he is set to tee it up at the home of golf, scene of two of his three Open victories.
Reigning champion Collin Morakawa is also in the field, joined by Masters champion and World No.1 Scottie Scheffler, PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas and US Open winner Matt Fitzpatrick.
And while the likes of Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau are no longer plying their trade on the PGA Tour, the LIV Golf players are all set to be involved at the Open.
Another 16 players booked their place at St Andrews at the four Final Qualifying venues, with playoffs required at three of them. John Parry won the playoff at St Annes Old Links to join Sam Bairstow, Marcus Armitage and Matthew Jordan in the Open field. Barclay Brown, Richard Mansell, Oliver Farr and Marco Penge came through at Hollinwell, while at Fairmont St Andrews, David Carey and Robert Dinwiddie were joined by playoff winners Lars van Meijel and Alex Wrigley. At Prince’s, Matthew Ford, Jamie Rutherford and Ronan Mullarney were joined by Jack Floydd, who came through a five-man playoff.
The final places in the field for the 150th Open Championship will be filled by the top three finishers (who haven’t already qualified) at the Irish Open, John Deere Classic and the Scottish Open, with one final spot available at the Barbasol Championship.
