Ryder Cup qualifying kicks off this week at the British Masters, and a good start is crucial for those hoping to wear the blue and gold in New York next year.
The 2024 British Masters marks the start of European qualification at Bethpage, with many players on the DP World Tour looking to get off to a strong start in the race for a spot in 2025. Although this year’s event runs concurrently with the PGA Tour’s Tour Championship, there are still plenty of big names from Europe’s current and past successes to be seen on the Brabazon course at The Belfry.
Hosted by Sir Nick Faldo and held on the outskirts of Birmingham, the British Masters is expected to attract some of the biggest names from around the world in the final stage of the DP World Tour.
It's easy for the Ryder Cup stars to take the spotlight, with Tyrrell Hatton and two-time captain Luke Donald both in the field, but this tournament will feature many of the biggest names from the European Tour, vying not only for the cut but also for a bigger prize on Sunday.
Here are the tee times for the first and second rounds of the British Masters on Thursday and Friday, with only the best players making it to the weekend:
