SuperSport is bringing viewers the 23rd edition of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship to be held in Scotland from Thursday 3 to Sunday 6 October 2024. It is the only professional golf tournament to be played annually over the historic Old Course at St Andrews, alongside the Championship Course at Carnoustie and the’modern classic’, Kingsbarns.
A unique aspect of this event is that it incorporates two separate competitions: an individual professional tournament for the world’s leading golfers and the team championship in which the professionals are paired with amateur golfers, which creates a unique atmosphere.
Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick will return to defend his Alfred Dunhill Links title, bidding to become only the second golfer in history, along with Tyrrell Hatton, to win back-to-back championships.

Fitzpatrick, who won last year by three shots, said: “It doesn’t get much better than winning at St Andrews. To play in a tournament there and be in contention is something that you always remember. To say I’ve won a tournament there is even more special.”
In addition to winning the Individual Professional Tournament in 2023, he also triumphed in the Team Championship alongside his mother.
“Last year in the Dunhill, I felt very relaxed and focused on playing well with my mom, not putting pressure on myself, and trying not to get stressed out or get frustrated,” he explained.
“The Ryder Cup was the week before. That’s obviously a very stressful week. I’d not really had a great season, so having the feeling of being relaxed and not trying too hard helped to bring out the best in my game.”
One of the players looking to dethrone Fitzpatrick is Brooks Koepka, who has ambitions of becoming the first American to win the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
“I’ve been fortunate to play in several Dunhill Links, as well as two Open Championships at St Andrews over the years, and these trips are always highlights of my year,” said the five-time Major title winner.
“I love Links Golf, and St Andrews is my favorite course in the world. I could play there every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.”
