Alfred Dunhill Links: Who are Sir Andy Murray and the other celebrities playing with?

This year's Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is set to be a particularly intriguing affair for many reasons. 

Serving as something of an unofficial homecoming for a selection of Europe's Ryder Cup heroes, Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Fitzpatrick and Tyrrell Hatton will all take part, still presumably nursing a headache or two after celebrating their historic triumph in New York.

Taking place across three of Scotland's most iconic links courses, including the fabled Old Course, this year's Championship will also see a particularly strong LIV Golf presence. Five-time major champion Brooks Koepka, former Masters winners Patrick Reed, Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson, and Open champions Cameron Smith and Louis Oosthuizen are all taking part – some at the invite of the tournament organisers themselves, and some, including Hatton, electing to take part in order to maintain their DP World Tour membership.

Adding to the intrigue, however, is the amateur factor. As arguably the European tour's signature pro-am event, it's one of the most prestigious events in which pros and amateurs compete together this side of the Atlantic. Some pros, like Hatton, elect to play with family members. Others are paired up with celebrities and VIP guests with a passion for the game, and the Dunhill is famed for routinely hosting Hollywood A-listers and sporting heavyweights alike.

As always, the players will compete over a rotation of three courses between Thursday and Saturday. There will then be a 54-hole cut ahead of Sunday's final round, which will be staged on the Old Course.

Highlighting the line-up this year is a string of famous faces, many of whom are Alfred Dunhill regulars. The Hollywood contingent will see representation in names like Michael Douglas, his wife Catherine Zeta Jones, and comedy legend Bill Murray. Huey Lewis, Ronan Keating and Linkin Park drummer Dave Farrell make up just a portion of the musical talent teeing it up this year, while sports legends Wayne Gretzky, Kelly Slater and Kevin Pietersen are also taking part.

Perhaps the most watched amateur this year, however, may be Wimbledon champion Sir Andy Murray, who has become one of the game's most prolific amateurs since his retirement from Tennis. Having gone on record about his ambitions to one day enter Open regional qualifying, the Scot inked a partnership with Callaway earlier this year (you can read about his full equipment set-up here).
