Dan Brown and Matthew Jordan both finished in the top 10 at the British Open and will compete in the Betfred British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo at the Belfry next month.
Britain's Brown won his first major championship via final qualifying, shooting a stunning opening-round 65 to take the 18-hole lead at Royal Troon, while compatriot Jordan impressed again with back-to-back top-10 finishes at the British Open.

Brown, who leads the final men’s major of the year after the first round, joins the DP World Tour Champions Circle after winning the 2023 ISPS Handa World Invitational last year and will be looking to continue his strong form at Royal Troon with another strong result on his home course, the Belfry.
“I’m really excited to be playing in front of my home fans again so soon after the Open,” Brown said. “It was fantastic to have their support last week and I’m sure they will give it their all again at the Belfry.
“My performance at Royal Troon has given me a lot of confidence and I’m looking forward to another week of competition on my home and world-renowned course against strong opposition.”

Fellow countryman Jordan enjoyed a similarly positive week at Royal Troon, joining Brown as the Belfry’s home competitor, as he shot even par in four straight rounds at Royal Troon to tie for 10th at the Open for the second year in a row.
The 28-year-old will be competing in the Betfred British Masters for the sixth time this year, having made his debut in 2019 when he shot a stunning 63 in the first round to lead by two shots after the first round.
“The British Masters has always been a special tournament for me,” said Jordan. “The list of past champions is full of legends of the sport, from Sam Torrence and Thomas Bjorn to Seve and even Sir Nick himself, so the chance to add my name to the mix is a fantastic opportunity.
“I’ve had some great memories from the tournaments over the past few years and I hope to create some more this year at The Belfry.”

The Betfred British Masters presented by Sir Nick Faldo will be the first event on the back nine of the Race to Dubai, a pivotal moment for players as they look to improve their rankings ahead of the DP World Tour Play-offs.
Brown and Jordan will form part of a strong British delegation at the tournament that includes Ryder Cup-winning captain Luke Donald and 2016 Masters champion Danny Willett – both of whom have hosted the tournament in previous years – as well as rising star and Junior Ryder Cup champion Chris King, who will be making his DP World Tour debut.
This year’s tournament will be the seventh and fourth in a row to be held at The Belfry. In 2021, The Belfry returns as a venue after a 13-year absence. The Sutton Coldfield course has hosted 20 DP World Tour events since Seve Ballesteros won the Lada English Golf Classic in 1979.
Tickets to The Belfry are in high demand this year, with a limited number of Premium and Tickets + Experience tickets available. Remaining tickets for these categories, as well as General Admission tickets, are available here, and fans are advised to purchase their tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.
