Here’s who the home players will be teaming up with in the $5.5 million tournament at Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and St Andrews over the next three days.

Connor Syme and Piers Morgan

Morgan needs no introduction, having become one of the most-famous faces on British television over the past decade. This is his third outing in the event, having hit the clubhouse at Carnoustie with his opening shot in 2018!

Bob MacIntyre and Ashton Curtis

Sports writer Walsh is a member of The Links in Newmarket and says his most forgettable moment playing golf was having a 35-foot birdie putt on the ninth at Augusta National and walking off with a 9.

Richie Ramsay and John Tyson

Tyson is the chairman of Arkansas-based American food giant Tyson Foods. This is his 17th Dunhill Links appearance.

Marc Warren and Martin Gilbert

Gilbert, the former Aberdeen Standard Investments chairman who is now chair of Scottish Golf, has played in all 20 Dunhill Links Championships and partnered Paul Lawrie when he won the inaugural one in 2001.

David Law and Craig Boath

Boath should certainly know his way around Carnoustie, where he started playing golf when he was four and is the links superintendent.
