Sir Nick Faldo will host the Betfred British Masters for a second time this year.
It’s the fourth consecutive year that the championship will take place at the Belfry after first hosting in 2006.
The event itself has been won by some greats of the game, from Greg Norman and Seve Ballesteros to Justin Rose and Lee Westwood.
While that calibre of player isn’t in town this week, there are plenty of big names including Luke Donald and Danny Willett.
LIV Golf star Tyrrell Hatton, meanwhile, is making his first DP World Tour appearance since January, as he looks to meet Ryder Cup qualifying criteria.
Donald will have his eyes on a few other names, too, as the event officially marks the start of the Ryder Cup race.
Six automatic qualification spots are available from this week until August 24, next year.
The British Masters is also the first event of the DP World Tour’s ‘Back 9’, which means the race towards the play-offs in the Middle East is underway.
Bumper crowds are expected in Sutton Coldfield again this week, so here is everything you need to know…
