It is played in September, on three different links courses, centred on the "home of golf", St Andrews in Fife, Scotland. The tournament is a pro-am, with the format based on the long-running United States PGA Tour's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am held annually since 1937 (except during the Second World War), where each team consists of one amateur and one professional. The three course rotation consists of The Old Course at St Andrews, Carnoustie Golf Links and Kingsbarns Golf Links. The 54-hole cut is made of the top 60 professionals and the leading 20 pro-am teams, regardless of the professional member of the team making the individual cut. These players and teams advance to the final round at St Andrews. The event takes place Sep 30-Oct 03 and has a prize fund of USD 5,000,000 Danny Willett claims Alfred Dunhill Links Championship victory at St Andrews on his 34th birthday After two years without a win and a 2021 plagued by ill-health, Danny Willett fought his way back into the winners' circle on the European Tour with a superb two-shot victory at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship . Willett's closing 68 at St Andrews was enough to clinch a two-shot victory as Ryder Cup stars Tyrrell Hatton and Shane Lowry were unable to make inroads into their overnight three-shot deficit. 1082714
