The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is just around the corner, and the excitement in the air is palpable.
A Star-Studded Field
Happening from October 5-8, 2023, this year’s championship promises a showdown of epic proportions. Major Champion Matt Fitzpatrick and popular American Matt Kuchar are among the illustrious golfers who’ll grace the greens. And let’s not forget Ryan Fox, the defending champion. After his recent victory at the BMW PGA Championship, he’s someone everyone’s got their eye on.
Local hero Bob MacIntyre, the leading Scot in the world rankings, has also been creating quite the buzz. He narrowly missed out on the Genesis Scottish Open and is no doubt itching for a win on his home turf.
A Unique Atmosphere

Imagine playing alongside the likes of Sir Tony McCoy or Dutch football superstar Ruud Gullit. It’s a dream come true for any golf aficionado!
Where the Action Happens
The championship takes you on a journey across three iconic courses: the Old Course at St Andrews, Carnoustie, and Kingsbarns Golf Links. Each course offers its unique challenges and charms, making this tournament a treat for both players and spectators alike.
What About Tickets?
