There aren’t quite 16 LIV Golfers in the field like at the Dunhill Links but there is once again a good number of players from the 54-hole circuit teeing it up on the DP World Tour this week.
The European Tour hosts the Spanish Open this time around where another star-studded field lines up, headlined by home favorite and three-time winner Jon Rahm who makes his first start since the Ryder Cup.

Rahm, who earned three points for Team Europe at the Ryder Cup, won this event in 2018, 2019 and 2022. He was runner-up last year after losing in a dramatic playoff to Angel Hidalgo – who is back to defend his title.
Sergio Garcia is also a past champion, having won in 2002.
Five-time LIV Golf winner in 2025 Joaquin Niemann is another of LIV’s star names in the field this week, while Patrick Reed is playing in his eighth DP World Tour event of the year.
Tom McKibbin is also in the field following a strong debut campaign in the LIV Golf League for Jon Rahm’s Legion XIII side.
Former LIV player Luis Masaveu is playing as well, with Masaveu briefly representing Sergio Garcia’s Fireballs GC team before being replaced by Ballester.
Away from LIV Golfers, Shane Lowry is another star name in Madrid this week.
Lowry makes his first start since the Ryder Cup, where he earned a crucial half point that guaranteed Europe would at least retain the trophy
