Golf in wet and windy conditions sounds horrible, but the professionals love it and accompanied by friends and family is why the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is so popular. The players will tee it up on three courses: Kingsbarns, Carnoustie and St Andrews before the concluding round is played out on the Old Course at the home of golf in St Andrews.
'They kept fighting all the way down to the end' - Captain Immelman after the Presidents Cup loss
Golf is back home this week, as the DP World Tour returns to Scotland for the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
Unlike the Open Championship at St Andrews in July, this week’s event looks set to be played in proper Scottish weather with wind and rain on the menu.
It is an event the players relish, a Links test in Linksy conditions - while the opportunity to play with friends, family and the odd superstar from outside the world of golf adds to the appeal.
Rory McIlroy will be teeing it up this week, and will be joined by star names including Matt Fitzpatrick, Billy Horschel, Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood and Tyrrell Hatton.
There could be some uncomfortable moments, similar to the BMW PGA Championship, as Liv Golf players Talor Gooch and Peter Uihlein - among others - will be in the field.
Danny Willett will be back to defend his title, a little over a week on from his collapse at the Fortinet Championship, while Hatton is bidding for a third victory in the multi-course event.
Courses:
Old Course, St Andrews
The home of golf. Golf has been played at St Andrews since the 1400s, with the Old Course crafted for play in 1895. The Open Championship has been staged on the famous links on 30 occasions, with Cameron Smith securing victory this year.
Kingsbarns
While St Andrews dates back to the 1400s, Kingsbarns is a modern layout. It may not have the history of some famous Scottish links, but it is a majestic track with holes hugging the coast. It is not a test for the professionals, and if the wind does not blow it can be a birdie-fest, but the amateurs in the field will love it.
Carnoustie
Without doubt the toughest of the three courses played this week. It is one of the venues on the Open rotation and has hosted the major on eight occasions.
Old Tom Morris played a part in the initial 10-hole layout dating back to 1842, before extending it to 18 holes in 1867.
It first hosted the Open in 1931, and was modified significantly prior to the 1999 championship. Bunkers were changed and added, with some being removed, while greens were tweaked and new tees added.
It is a stunning track, and one of its most famous moments was in the 1999 Open when Jean van de Velde threw away the title on the 18th hole after his tangle with the Barry Burn.
Prize Money: $5m (£4.68m), with the winner’s share being $833,000 (£780,864).
Format: 72-hole strokeplay.

- 18 holes: St Andrews - 61 - Ross Fisher (2017), Carnoustie - 63 - Tommy Fleetwood (2017), Kingsbarns - 60 - Branden Grace (2012), Peter Uihlein (2013)
