DP World Tour Championship: Field, tee times, and groups for the season finale

Published: 13 November 2023 Last updated: 18 November 2023

The DP World Tour reaches its conclusion in Dubai.

The DP World Tour reaches its climax in Dubai for the season-ending Tour Championship, but who is playing and what are the tee times?

Jump To: Round 4 Tee Times | Who Will Win

Four is set to become five for Rory McIlroy, as the Northern Irishman prepares to end the season as Europe’s No.1 golfer once again. It will be the second time Rory has defended the prestigious Race to Dubai title, having previously won the Order of Merit in 2012, 2014, and 2015.

It is also the first time a player has been crowned champion before the final event of the season. McIlroy did not play at last week’s Nedbank Golf Challenge, where the only players with a chance of catching the four-time Major champion failed to secure enough points to stay in contention.

Adrian Meronk’s T15 finish in South Africa only gained the Polish player 94.5 points, keeping him an insurmountable 2,294 points adrift of McIlroy, with the only other contender, Ryan Fox, finishing T51.

The most legitimate threat to McIlroy’s defense would have come in the shape of World No.3 Jon Rahm , had the Spaniard decided to make the trip to Sun City. A solid performance at the Nedbank would have put a sizable dent into the 2,083-point deficit, making Rory’s walk in Dubai a little less processional.

There is still a rather big tournament to be won in Dubai however, and with McIlroy and Rahm gunning for their third and fourth Tour Championship titles respectively, the competition is likely to be as fierce as ever.

Rahm secured a two-shot victory over the stellar field in 2022, making it three wins and a top-five finish from his four trips to the Earth Course. In doing so, Rahm became the first player to win the Tour Championship three times, and the only player to have won five Rolex Series titles.

While McIlroy and Rahm will no doubt be heavily fancied once again in Dubai, a contingent of their Ryder Cup stablemates including Viktor Hovland, Tyrrell Hatton, Tommy Fleetwood, and Matt Fitzpatrick will all relish the opportunity to steal bragging rights out in the desert.

Where is the DP World Tour Championship being played?

The 45th and final event of the DP World Tour season is held at the Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, a luxury golf community rated among the best lifestyle estates in the world.

The Estate boasts two Greg-Norman-designed courses – Fire and Earth, with the latter having played host to the DP World Tour’s flagship event for 14 years.

At 7,675 yards, the par-72 Earth course has been inspired by the great parklands of Europe and North America, featuring rolling terrain, rushing water, and unforgiving bunkers. The greens typically run at 12 on the stipmeter and water is on play on the 6th, 14, 16th, 17th, and 18th holes.

Englishman Justin Rose holds the course record at the Earth Course. His ten under 62 in 2012 however was not quite enough to prevent Rory McIlroy from winning his first Tour Championship title.

Who is playing in the DP World Tour Championship?

The Tour Championship will feature the top 50 players in the Race to Dubai Rankings including six of the top 20 in the Official Golf World Rankings .

Ten members of Europe’s winning Ryder Cup team from Rome will tee it up in the desert with only Justin Rose and Ludvig Aberg missing out. Other notable names not making the 50-player cut are England’s Aaron Rai and Scotland’s Richie Ramsey, who hold six DP Tour wins between them.

Seven of the top 20 players in the Race to Dubai Rankings hail from Scandinavia, including Denmark’s Thorbjorn Olesen, Nicolai and Rasmus Hojgaard, Sweden’s Alexander Bjork and Vincent Normrman, Finland’s Sami Valimaki, and Norwegian FedExCup Champion, Victor Hovland .

Non-European golfers in the field include Ryan Fox, Min Woo Lee, Ryo Hisatsune, Thriston Lawrence, Tom Kim, Daniel Hillier, Zander Lombard, and Lucas Herbert.

Who will win the DP World Tour Championship?

After a stunning 12-under par 60, England’s Matt Wallace (3/1) has launched himself into title contention, firing 12 birdies to top the leaderboard by a shot going into Sunday’s final round.

Hot on Wallace’s heels however are Europe’s Ryder Cup heroes Viktor Hovland (9/5) and Tommy Fleetwood (14/5) who will fancy their chances of a season-ending win in the desert.

Selected others

Nicolai Hojgaard 14/1

Jeff Winther 18/1

DP World Tour Championship: Tee times and groups

DP World Tour – Race to Dubai standings

Going into the season-ending Tour Championship, Rory McIlroy has compiled an insurmountable lead over the chasing pack from just nine tournaments played. Jon Rahm sits 2,082.53 points behind McIlroy from just seven events with Poland’s Adrian Meronk sitting in third a further 212.25 points adrift from 23 tournaments.

Can players secure PGA Tour cards?

A Strategic Alliance between the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour has enabled a formal pathway to be established for players to earn dual membership status. Following the Tour Championship, the top 10 players in the Race to Dubai Rankings (not otherwise exempt), will gain 2024 PGA Tour exemptions.

Adrian Meronk is currently the highest-ranked player, not otherwise exempt through the top 50 of the 2023 FedExCup standings, and is in prime position to earn an exemption into the Players Championship and two PGA Tour Signature Events in 2024.

Also in contention for dual membership are Rolex Series winner Victor Perez, Ryder Cup rookie Robert MacIntyre, and first-time DP World Tour winner Ryo Hisatsune.

Dubai Invitational Tee Times

How to watch the dubai invitational: live stream from the us, how to watch the dubai invitational: live stream from the uk.

The Dubai Invitational is set for a thrilling finale on Sunday, with Ryder Cup stalwarts Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood set to go head-to-head in the final pairing. 

Fleetwood surged up the leaderboard thanks to a superb eight-under-par 63 on Saturday to set the lead at -15 and take his first 54-hole lead on the DP World Tour in ten years.

However, he will have a battle on his hands with McIlroy just one shot back after a third-round 67. The Northern Irishman opened the tournament with a stellar bogey-free 62 and is bidding to kick off his defence of the Race to Dubai trophy in style. 

The final pairing will get underway at 12.10pm (local time), with a host of other players looking to surge through the field and cause an upset in the DP World Tour's season-opening event. 

Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen is only three shots back off the lead after a solid bogey-free 66 on Saturday. He tees off in the penultimate pairing alongside Jordan Smith, who sits one further back at -11 after back-to-to-back 67s on Friday and Saturday. 

Also on -11 is the South African duo of Thriston Lawrence and Zander Lombard. Lawrence won twice on the DP World Tour last year and will go in search of his fifth Tour victory on Sunday, while Lombard goes in search of his first win after an impressive year on Tour last time out. 

Fleetwood has a one-shot lead heading into Sunday

Elsewhere, Rasmus Hojgaard, Yannik Paul and Sean Crocker will need a big day, with all three five shots back off the lead at -10, while Adrian Meronk rounds out the top ten at -8.

DP World Tour Championship LIVE: Tee times, field and how to follow as Jon Rahm eyes history against Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland

• Jack Johnson
• Published : 9:23, 19 Nov 2023
• Updated : 9:23, 19 Nov 2023

Jon Rahm will be out to make history among a star-studded field at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai this weekend.

The World No.3 has the chance to win the event for a record fourth time following his impressive victory in 2022.

While the Spaniard will be eyeing the title, he won't be able to clinch glory in the season-ending Race to Dubai.

Rory McIlroy has claimed that honour by virtue of Max Homa's victory at the Nedbank Golf Challenge last weekend.

McIlroy has now won back-to-back Race to Dubai titles and five in total.

He'll now look to cap off another brilliant year by beating great European rival Rahm and a host of other big names to victory at the Earth Course.

2023 DP World Tour Championship live stream, how to watch online, TV schedule, golf tee times, channel

The race to dubai may have a winner but plenty remains on the line in the european finale.

The DP World Tour season is set to reach its conclusion this week with the 2023 DP World Tour Championship taking center stage at Jumeirah Golf Estates, Earth Course in Dubai. The top 50 players from the Race to Dubai standings will once again take to this par 72 with one eye on a massive payday that could be theirs come Sunday.

Rory McIlroy has already wrapped up the Race to Dubai crown thanks to regular-season performance. Highlighted by a come-from-behind victory at the 2023 Scottish Open, the Northern Irishman has claimed his fifth season-long title on the European circuit. No matter the case, the heavy hitters have arrived and look to put their finishing touches on the calendar year.

Race to Dubai No. 2 Jon Rahm makes his first start since the 2023 Ryder Cup, as does FedEx Cup champion Viktor Hovland. Englishmen Matt Fitzpatrick, Tyrrell Hatton and Tommy Fleetwood all hope to continue their fine form. Fleetwood comes in following a nice start at the Nedbank Challenge, while Fitzpatrick won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship his last time out in early October.

These stars have their pick of the litter when it comes to where they wish to play in the world. Adrian Meronk hopes for the same as PGA Tour cards will be granted to the top 10 players in the rankings who do not already have their PGA Tour cards for 2024. The top player among these 10 will be fully exempt and adds an extra layer of drama among the likes of Adrian Meronk, Ryan Fox, Robert MacIntyre and Victor Perez.

All times Eastern; streaming start times approximated.

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 RBC Canadian Open

P utting has been the ultimate decider, with four out of the top six being ranked inside the top 10 in strokes gained putting. The interesting nuance from most tour stops is the stressed importance around the green instead of on approach. Sure, shots into greens typically carry more weight than anything, however, the top two players on the leaderboard--Mackenzie Hughes and Bobby Mac--don't rank well against the field in strokes gained on approach (Hughes 32nd and Macintyre 61st). Comparatively, four of the top five players are inside the top 15 in strokes gained around the green. With the forecasted weather for Sunday's round, I expect this abnormality in statistical data to continue.

Showdown, unlike typical golf DFS that spans the entire tournament, is a contest that focuses on each round as an individual event. The usual strategy is finding guys who played well the previous day(s), particularly the players who have shown strong ability with their irons. However, it's also important to make roster decisions that give you ownership leverage over other players in your contest. This is usually done by taking riskier players on the board that haven't played their best but present a high likelihood of a bounce-back round. In other words, this is a sprint, not a marathon.

Weather, Course Conditions & Tee Times

It will be a game of two halves with what Mother Nature has in store and will force DFS players to pick their poison between rain or wind. One isn't necessarily better or worse than the other, but identifying guys who have shown strength in the weather they could find themselves playing in tomorrow is a good starting point for lineup builds. Even with the added drizzle or uptick in wind, I don't expect the scoring average to change much from what we've seen over the first three days.

Round 4 Strategy

The mindset to have for final-round showdowns is not to pull any punches. Taking guys that have a knack for hammering down the gas pedal on Sunday, and have at least shown flashes of form over the first three rounds is a great starting point. Remember that ownership levels will continuously drop the closer you get to the morning's first tee time, and finding the guys who will bounce back is paramount to winning big.

Favorite Play: Sam Burns has been quiet since his opening round 63, mostly thanks to a putter that has not shown up for him since. The whopping +3.31 strokes he gained on the greens on Thursday took a nosedive to -2.26 on Friday before settling back down to +0.84 today. For someone who is striking the ball as well as Burnsie is, I have to believe things will click sooner or later on the final day. And there's no better place to do that than a leaderboard full of unproven names that have tended to shift quickly so far this week.

Other Options: Rory McIlroy

Favorite Play: Tom Kim fired an excellent -5 under par round today, putting him into a tie for 11th going into the final day. His ball striking has been much improved compared to his season-long stats, ranking 29th in the field in strokes gained on approach and 11th in strokes gained off the tee. Hopefully, +3.11 strokes gained on the greens today will mean at least some of the same tomorrow, especially if his impeccable short game stays strong.

Other Options: Aaron Rai, Robert Macintyre, Shane Lowry

Favorite Play: If I still had to pick a Canadian, Corey Conners is still who I would choose at this point. His iron play is as good as ever, ranking 4th in the field in strokes gained on approach. The solid stats we're used to seeing off the tee have been lacking this week but things have steadily improved over the first three rounds. It will come down to putting for Conners, as it usually does, however, with nothing to lose and everything to gain, things should certainly be boom or bust tomorrow for the Canadian.

Other Options: Maverick McNealy, Ben Griffin

Favorite Play: Joel Dahmen started today's round with a double bogey shot to the manhood, then followed it up with a bogey and suddenly found himself two over through three, however, by the fifth hole he had made up for both with an eagle and birdie on holes four and five. This is a different JD than we've seen most of the season, and coming back to post a -1 under-par score for the day by birdieing three of his final seven holes takes some real grit. To the field, he ranks inside the top 10 in strokes gained putting and off the tee and is ranked 19th in strokes gained on approach.

Other Options: Kevin Yu, Beau Hossler

Favorite Play: I hope Adrien Dumont De Chassart is the longest name I ever need to spell for this weekly piece--or any article for that matter--but it is for a good reason. The Belgian has done very little since his opening round 67 (-3 under), however, he ended today's round ranking inside the top 30 in strokes gained on approach and around the green for the day while also ranking 30th in strokes gained putting through three rounds. He's much too far back to make a run at the lead, but will hopefully provide enough of a floor to build the rest of a lineup on.

Other Options: Kelly Kraft

Showdown Optimizer

The optimizer works nicely with the projected ownership from the model. If you are unsure how to work it, at the top of the "PGA Lineup Optimizer" page, there is a video on how to get my projected ownership and/or projected points into your optimizer.

Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor.

U.S. Open 2024: Guide to the DP World Tour members in action

A host of DP World Tour members, ranging from Major Champions to Ryder Cup stars and players in their rookie season, are among the 156-player field in action at the 124th U.S. Open .

Here’s our guide to the 39 DP World Tour members teeing it up this week at Pinehurst No. 2, North Carolina. We've listed them in alphabetical order.

Ludvig Åberg

• Birthplace: Eslov, Sweden
• Turned Pro: 2023
• Official World Golf Ranking:
• Best U.S. Open finish: N/A

After becoming the first player in history to compete in a Ryder Cup before ever playing a Major last September, Ludvig Åberg is making his U.S. Open debut this week. Prior to turning professional in June 2023, the Swede was the top ranked amateur on the World Golf Amateur Rankings and made history as the first player to earn direct access to the PGA TOUR via collegiate merit, finishing first on the 2023 PGA TOUR University Ranking while at Texas Tech. He secured his first win as a professional at the Omega European Masters in September on the DP World Tour. He was then part of the winning European Ryder Cup team in Italy in October, delivering two points from his four matches as a rookie, and earned his first PGA TOUR win at the RSM Classic in November. He finished runner-up in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February and then eighth in his debut at The Players Championship in March, rising inside the top 10 in the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time. On his Major debut, at the Masters Tournament in April, he finished solo second.

Sam Bairstow

• Birthplace: Sheffield, England
• Turned Pro: 2022

The left-hander from England will make his U.S. Open debut after booking his ticket to North Carolina through Final Qualifying at Walton Heath last month. While he has also twice qualified for The Open in 2021 and 2022 as an amateur, this will be his first Major start since joining the paid ranks in September 2022. A winner of the prestigious Brabazon Trophy in 2021, Bairstow reached the final of the Amateur Championship at Royal Lytham & St Annes a year later, losing to South Africa’s Aldrich Potgieter in the 36-hole match. He lifted his first piece of silverware as a professional with victory at the European Challenge Tour’s Farmfoods Scottish Challenge supported by the R&A as he went on to earn promotion to the DP World Tour where he has recorded four top 20s in his rookie season including solo third in Singapore.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout

• Birthplace: Delmas, South Africa
• Turned Pro: 2015
• Official World Golf Ranking: 40
• Best U.S. Open finish: T31, 2021

The South African is making his third U.S. Open start, and first since 2021, after being among the top 60 on the Official World Golf Ranking on May 20. Of his ten worldwide professional victories, three have come on the DP World Tour, including two back-to-back in his homeland at the end of 2020. In January, he finished as the runner-up to amateur Nick Dunlap in this year's American Express Championship but collected the first-place check at the PGA TOUR event. The 30-year-old has since finished in the top 20 on a further seven occasions, including at the Memorial Tournament where he finished fourth over the weekend. He represented the International Team in the 2022 Presidents Cup.

Thomas Detry

• Birthplace: Uccle, Belgium
• Turned Pro: 2016
• Official World Golf Ranking: 55

He made the cut in his first 10 professional events, culminating in his win at the 2016 Bridgestone Challenge on the Challenge Tour. In 2018, he won the 2018 World Cup of Golf with partner Thomas Pieters, representing Belgium. He has twice finished solo second on the DP World Tour, while he lost in a play-off to Min Woo Lee that also featured Matt Fitzpatrick at the Scottish Open in 2021. The 31-year-old, who is on track to qualify for this summer's Olympics, reached a career-high 52nd in the world earlier this month after a strong 2024 so far on the PGA TOUR.

• Birthplace: Salt Lake City, United States
• Turned Pro: 2007
• Official World Golf Ranking: 28
• Best U.S. Open finish: 5, 2018

That was the same year he made his Ryder Cup debut at Le Golf National. His best performance at a Major came when he finished third at The Open in 2019 at Royal Portrush.

Matt Fitzpatrick

• Turned Pro: 2014
• Official World Golf Ranking: 16
• Best U.S. Open finish: W, 2022

Fitzpatrick joined Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win a U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur at the same venue. His victory at The Country Club in 2022 was his first professional victory on American soil. A second followed in April 2023 at the RBC Heritage in Hilton Head Island. He won his sixth DP World Tour later that year in Scotland at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, a week after helping Europe regain the Ryder Cup in Italy. He has three top-10 finishes so far this season on the PGA TOUR ahead of his milestone tenth U.S. Open start.

Tommy Fleetwood

• Birthplace: Southport, England
• Turned Pro: 2010
• Official World Golf Ranking: 13
• Best U.S. Open finish: 2, 2018

In 2023, he finished runner-up in both the RBC Canadian Open and the season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. He recorded top 10s in both the U.S. Open and The Open, along with the clinching point for Team Europe at the Ryder Cup. The Englishman made a terrific start to 2024, winning the Dubai Invitational in January for his seventh win on the DP World Tour before finishing in a tie for third at the Masters Tournament in April. Expected to represent England alongside Fitzpatrick at this summer's Olympics in France.

Grant Forrest

• Birthplace: Livingston, Scotland
• Official World Golf Ranking: 203

The Scot will make his U.S. Open debut and first Major start stateside after coming through Final Qualifying at Walton Heath. This will also be his first Major stateside, having made appearances at The Open in 2013 and 2018. He became the first player from his country to win on home soil in nearly a decade at the 2021 Hero Open at Fairmont St Andrews as he claimed his maiden DP World Tour title. He earned his DP World Tour card for the 2019 season by finishing seventh on the Challenge Tour's Order of Merit. His best performance so far this season came at the ISPS HANDA Australian Open when he finished in a tie for fourth towards the tail end of last year.

• Birthplace: Auckland, New Zealand
• Turned Pro: 2012
• Official World Golf Ranking: 60

The New Zealander enjoyed a strong finish to 2023 on the DP World Tour, winning his first Rolex Series title at the BMW PGA Championship - a result which earned his berth in the U.S. Open - and finishing tied second at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on his title defence in Scotland. Those performances helped him earn dual membership status with the PGA TOUR as one of the top 10 finishers not already exempt on the season-long Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnership with Rolex. The four-time DP World Tour winner has two top tens so far this year on the PGA TOUR.

Tyrrell Hatton

He additionally made the cut in all four Majors and represented Europe in his third Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club. His most recent victory worldwide came at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in 2021.

Nicolai Højgaard

• Birthplace: Billund, Denmark
• Turned Pro: 2019
• Official World Golf Ranking: 42

The Dane is making his debut at a Major for the second time this year, having done so at the Masters in April. Claimed his maiden Rolex Series victory at the DP World Tour Championship at the end of last season, a week after finishing runner-up at the Nedbank Golf Challenge. He finished second at the AT&T Pebble Beach PRO-AM in February, days after finishing in the top 10 at the DP World Tour's Hero Dubai Desert Classic, during an impressive start to his first full season on the PGA TOUR. The three-time DP World Tour winner was a member of the winning European Ryder Cup team last year.

Billy Horschel

• Birthplace: Grant-Valkaria, United States
• Turned Pro: 2009
• Official World Golf Ranking: 62
• Best U.S. Open finish: T4, 2013

Horschel will make his 12th U.S. Open start thanks to being among the top five players in the 2024 FedEx Cup standings as of May 20, who were not otherwise exempt. He returned to the PGA TOUR winner's circle with victory at the Corales Puntacana Championship in the Dominican Republic in April. That was his eighth PGA TOUR success, having gained his first at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in 2013. He has won twice on the DP World Tour, both coming in 2021, memorably lifting the BMW PGA Championship title at Wentworth.

Rikuya Hoshino

• Birthplace: Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan
• Official World Golf Ranking: 108
• Best U.S. Open finish: T26, 2021

The Japanese is set to make his fourth U.S. Open start after being the top player on the 2024 Race to Dubai Rankings on the DP World Tour not otherwise exempt as of May 20. Was given playing opportunities on the DP World Tour for 2023 after finishing second on the Japan Golf Tour’s money list in 2022 but went on to earn a full card for 2024 as he ended the year 81st on the Race to Dubai Rankings in partnership with Rolex. In February, he won the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters for his maiden DP World Tour during a great period of success for Japanese golfers. The 28-year-old, a six-time winner in his homeland, has not played competitively through injury since the Porsche Singapore Classic in March.

Viktor Hovland

• Birthplace: Oslo, Norway
• Official World Golf Ranking: 5
• Best U.S. Open finish: T12, 2019

The 2018 U.S. Amateur champion made his U.S. Open debut in 2019, finishing tied for 12th - his best performance from his five previous starts in this Major. Last year, he won three times on the PGA TOUR, while he recorded top-20 finishes in each of the four Majors. He also finished in a tie for second at the DP World Tour’s season-ending event in Dubai. Delivered 3.5 points from his five matches at the 2023 Ryder Cup in Italy. His best performance so far in 2024 came at last month's U.S. PGA Championship when he finished solo third after reuniting with his former coach, Joe Mayo.

Casey Jarvis

• Birthplace: Boksburg, South Africa
• Official World Golf Ranking: 314

The big-hitting 20-year-old from South Africa was added to the field as an alternate from the Final Qualifying event at Walton Heath, having missed out on a guaranteed berth by just one shot. This will be his Major debut, and it comes during his rookie season on the DP World Tour after earning promotion from the Challenge Tour where he won the Euram Bank Open in Austria. He has played in all 17 DP World Tour events, outside the Majors, open to his membership category with his best finish a tie for seventh at the Alfred Dunhill Championship on home soil.

Takumi Kanaya

• Birthplace: Kure, Japan
• Turned Pro: 2020
• Official World Golf Ranking: 115
• Best U.S. Open finish: CUT, 2020

The Japanese, a former recipient of the McCormack Medal for being the leading amateur in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, is set to make his second U.S. Open start after coming through Final Qualifying at Dallas (Texas) Athletic Club on May 20. Before turning professional, Kanaya spent 55 weeks atop the World Amateur Golf Ranking and even claimed a Japan Golf Tour event during that span. He turned professional in 2020 and has since amassed five more victories on his home circuit. He finished in a tie for 11th on home soil at the ISPS HANDA - CHAMPIONSHIP in April.

Min Woo Lee

• Birthplace: Perth, Australia
• Official World Golf Ranking: 36
• Best U.S. Open finish: T5, 2023

The Australian is making his third consecutive U.S. Open appearance. He registered his best Major result on his debut at this event last year by finishing in a tie for fifth. Registered six top 10s in total last year, including at The PLAYERS, along with a victory on the Asian Tour, before getting his 2024 DP World Tour campaign off to a fast start with a title on home soil at the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship in November. Finished in a tie for second at the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches on the PGA TOUR in March.

Shane Lowry

• Birthplace: Clara, Ireland
• Official World Golf Ranking: 33
• Best U.S. Open finish: T2, 2016

The popular Irishman will tee it up for the 12th time at a U.S. Open, with two top tens to his name in 2015 and 2016. The latter of those saw him finish in a tie for second at Oakmont Country Club. His best result of 2023 saw him finish in a tie for third on home ground at the Horizon Irish Open, shortly before he helped Europe regain the Ryder Cup after receiving a Captain’s Pick from Luke Donald. Finished third and then a tie for fourth in back-to-back events on the PGA TOUR in March to climb back into the world’s top 50. He has since won alongside Rory McIlroy at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans before finishing in a tie for sixth at the US PGA Championship.

Matteo Manassero

• Birthplace: Negrar, Italy
• Official World Golf Ranking: 178
• Best U.S. Open finish: T46

His resurgence is perhaps among the best feel-good stories in recent times. After coming through Final Qualifying, he earned his first Major appearance in eight years. That followed on from him ending his near 11-year wait for a fifth DP World Tour title with victory at the Jonsson Workwear Open. Gained promotion back to the DP World Tour by finishing ninth on the Challenge Tour's Road to Mallorca Rankings. This is his fifth U.S. Open, having first played at the event in 2011 at Congressional Country Club. To this day, he remains the youngest ever winner on the DP World Tour at the age of 17.

Richard Mansell

• Birthplace: Lichfield, England
• Turned Pro: 2017
• Best U.S. Open finish: CUT, 2022

This will be the Englishman's fourth Major start and second at the U.S. Open, having missed the cut on his debut in 2022 at The Country Club. He turned professional in 2017 and earned his DP World Tour privileges by placing fourth in the European Challenge Tour's Order of Merit in 2020. Has since come close to winning on the DP World Tour, finishing second in Austria in 2020 and three subsequent third-place finishes.

Robert MacIntyre

• Birthplace: Oban, Scotland
• Official World Golf Ranking: 41
• Best U.S. Open finish: T35, 2021

Claimed an emotional maiden PGA TOUR title alongside his dad Dougie as caddie at the RBC Canadian Open earlier this month. It was a victory that lifted him to a career-high world ranking of 39th and thus secured his spot in the field this week. It followed on from an upturn in his form stateside that followed on from a return back home to Scotland. Registered seven top tens on the DP World Tour last season, agonisingly missing out on winning the Scottish Open to Rory McIlroy. Made his Ryder Cup debut for Europe in Italy last year and delivered two and a half points for Luke Donald's triumphant team.

Rory McIlroy

• Birthplace: Holywood, Northern Ireland
• Official World Golf Ranking: 3
• Best U.S. Open finish: W, 2021

McIlroy, who is making his 16th U.S. Open appearance, won his maiden Major at this event in 2011. He finished second last year to Wyndham Clark and has five top tens in his last five starts. Successfully defended his title at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic in January as he claimed his third Rolex Series title. In 2023, he won in Dubai and Scotland on the DP World Tour as he earned his fifth Harry Vardon Trophy, finished inside the top seven in three majors, and produced a career-best performance to help the European team win the Ryder Cup. Has won twice so far this season on the PGA TOUR, namely the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and more recently the Wells Fargo Championship for a fourth time.

Tom McKibbin

• Birthplace: Belfast, Northern Ireland
• Turned Pro: 2021
• Official World Golf Ranking: 145

Secured his maiden Major appearance by coming through as one of nine qualifiers at Walton Heath. In his rookie season on the DP World Tour last year, the Northern Irishman, who hails from the same Holywood club in county Down as McIlroy, McKibbin won the Porsche European Open in Germany. The 21-year-old is enjoying a consistent campaign this year, with four tops tens already.

Adrian Meronk

• Birthplace: Hamburg, Germany
• Best U.S. Open finish: CUT, 2021, 2023

The Pole will compete in his third consecutive U.S. Open by virtue of being among the top 60 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Won twice on the DP World Tour in 2023 to become a four-time winner, and registered three further top-five finishes as he went on to win the Seve Ballesteros Award after being voted Player of the Year by his peers. He finished runner-up at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic in January.

Edoardo Molinari

• Birthplace: Turin, Italy
• Turned Pro: 2006
• Official World Golf Ranking: 509

In 2005, Molinari became the first player from Continental Europe to win the U.S. Amateur, doing so at historic Merion Golf Club with his younger brother and current PGA Tour player, Francesco, on the bag. A qualifier from Walton Heath, this will be his fifth U.S. Open start, having first played in the tournament back in 2006. The Italian, who will again serve as a Vice Captain to Luke Donald at next year's Ryder Cup, claimed the last of his three DP World Tour titles at the Trophée Hassan II in Morocco in 2017.

Francesco Molinari

• Turned Pro: 2004
• Official World Golf Ranking: 324
• Best U.S. Open finish: T13, 2021

He will make his 14th U.S. Open start after coming through as a qualifier at Dallas Athletic Club, on the same day his older brother Edoardo qualified in England. Became the first Italian-born golfer to win a Major when he claimed a two-stroke victory in the 2018 Open Championship at Carnoustie, the most recent of his six DP World Tour titles. A three-time Ryder Cup player for Europe, he memorably won all five matches he played at Le Golf National in 2018.

• Birthplace: Stockholm, Sweden
• Turned Pro: 2005
• Official World Golf Ranking: 52
• Best U.S. Open finish: T17, 2020

The ten-time winner on the DP World Tour (formerly European Tour) will make his 11th U.S. Open start after being among the top 60 in the Official World Golf Ranking as of May 20. The Swede's best finish in a Major is a tie for sixth in the 2017 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. His best finish so far this season on the PGA TOUR was solo third at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson in May.

Matthieu Pavon

• Birthplace: Toulouse, France
• Turned Pro: 2013
• Official World Golf Ranking: 24
• Best U.S. Open finish: T25, 2018

The Frenchman, who will be making his fourth U.S. Open start, broke through for his first PGA TOUR win by edging fellow European Nicolai Højgaard by one stroke at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines earlier this year. That saw him make history as the first French winner on the PGA TOUR since 1907. Two further global top 10s have since followed for the dual member, most recently in Singapore on the DP World Tour.

Victor Perez

• Birthplace: Séméac, France
• Official World Golf Ranking: 78
• Best U.S. Open finish: CUT, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023

The native of France will make his fifth consecutive U.S. Open start, thanks to being among the top two finishers in the 2023 Race to Dubai Rankings on the DP World Tour not otherwise exempt as of May 20. Registered his career-best finish on the PGA TOUR at the RBC Canadian Open with a solo third. He has won twice on the DP World Tour, with the most recent of those coming at the KLM Open in 2022.

Séamus Power

• Birthplace: Tooraneena, Ireland
• Official World Golf Ranking: 118
• Best U.S. Open finish: T12, 2022

The Irishman secured his third consecutive U.S. Open appearance by progressing from Final Qualifying in Columbus, Ohio. Since turning professional in 2011, Power has registered seven worldwide victories, including the 2022 Butterfield Bermuda Championship and 2021 Barbasol Championship on the PGA TOUR. His best finish on the DP World Tour came at the WGC - Dell Technologies Match Play in 2022 when he finished fifth.

• Birthplace: Barrica, Spain
• Official World Golf Ranking: 8
