Taking place from October 2nd – 5th, 2025, they play on some of the most scenic yet challenging courses in the country: the Old Course at St. Andrews, the Championship Course at Carnoustie and Kingsbarns, which has been described as a ‘modern classic’.
ALFRED DUNHILL LINKS CHAMPIONSHIP
The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is a pinnacle golfing event on the DP World Tour. With its unique format, it is a magnet for golfers and spectators from every corner of the globe. Played over three world-famous Links courses – the Old Course at St Andrews, the Championship Course at Carnoustie and the Kingsbarns Golf Links – the tournament includes two separate competitions.
One competition is an individual professional tournament for the world’s leading golfers with a US$5 million prize fund. The other one is a team competition where some of the world’s most celebrated amateur golfers are each paired with one of the professionals.
This is the 40th year that Alfred Dunhill has supported golf at St Andrews – first in the Alfred Dunhill Cup from 1985, then in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship from 2001. During that time, many millions have been raised for charity.
