The prestigious event has suffered major setbacks in recent years due to lack of major sponsorship, and it's scheduling on the calendar.

The above reasons have led to the tournament attracting less of the world's top players but there's still a number of stars in the field.

Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Seamus Power and Tom McKibbin will all lead the home challenge this week, and they'll be joined by the likes of Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre.

The Scot has enjoyed a breakout year on the PGA Tour, winning the Canadian Open and his home Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club.

Erik van Rooyen, Guido Migliozzi, Nicolai Hojgaard, Ryan Fox and Padraig Harrington are also all set to take part.

The DP World Tour event no longer has Rolex Series status, it is still an important event on the schedule – only five regular DP World Tour events have a bigger prize fund.

Early Ryder Cup points for 2025 are also on offer for players in the field.
