The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship 2026 is not just another stop on the DP World Tour; it's the ultimate links battle and a celebration for true golf fans. Starting October 1st, when the best players in the field hunt for the trophy at St Andrews, Carnoustie, and Kingsbarns, it's clear: this is about prestige, crucial points, and a hefty $5 million (approx. €4.6 million) prize fund. The final round will fittingly take place on the Old Course at St Andrews.
What makes this spectacle special: 168 players, including true golf legends, will rotate across three of Scotland's most legendary links courses before the final battle is waged on the Old Course at St Andrews. Added to this is the Pro-Am format, which brings superstars like Bale, Murray, and Gullit to the starting line – a real highlight alongside the sporting class.
Who Will Claim the Links Throne?
The odds are heating up among bookmakers, and the usual links specialists are at the top of the list. Matt Fitzpatrick and Tommy Fleetwood are the hot favorites, both with odds of +1000. Close behind them lurk links aficionado Tyrrell Hatton (+1300) and Robert MacIntyre (+1500), whose home advantage could make the difference. But watch out, Alex Noren is also considered a hot tip – a real dark horse could be starting here.
