Andy Sullivan

A four-time DP World Tour winner - with three of his wins coming in 2015 - and one of six rookies in Europe’s Ryder Cup side for the 2016 match at Hazeltine.

He began it partnering Rory McIlroy, but it proved to be one of only two games for the former Walker Cup winner.

Sullivan captured his most recent DP World Tour title in August 2020, taking the English Championship at Hanbury Manor by a massive seven strokes.

He now returns for a seventh crack at The Open, five years on from his last appearance when he tied for 26th at Royal St George's. 

After turning professional in 2011 he had to return to the European Tour qualifying school a year later, but then improved his money list position from 145th to 98th, 33rd and then eighth after capturing the South African Open in a play-off against Charl Schwartzel, the Joburg Open by two shots and the Portugal Masters by a nine-shot margin.

He also finished runner-up to McIlroy at the season-ending DP World Tour Championship and on his return to Dubai three months later was second to Danny Willett at the Desert Classic.
