Andalucía Masters: Field, tee times and groups for the DP World Tour event

Spain's Adrian Otaegui won the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters in 2022.

The DP World Tour heads to Real Club de Golf Sotogrande for the 2023 Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters but who is playing and what are the tee times?

Ryder Cup star Wyndham Clark makes his DP World Tour debut and is the highest-ranked player in the field at the Andalucia Masters in the second leg of the Spanish swing. The US Open champ will be joined by fellow Ryder Cup rookie Bob McIntyre in a solid field as the tour’s schedule heads towards its conclusion.

Where is the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters being played?

The Andalucia Masters had been played at Valderrama since its inception in 2010, but the venue was removed from the DP World Tour schedule after signing a five-year deal to host LIV Golf tournaments. The 2023 event moves five kilometers closer to the coast with Real Club de Golf Sotogrande, one of the best golf courses in Spain, hosting for the first time.

Opened in 1964 the 7,099-yard course was the first European layout to be designed by Robert Trent Jones and held the Spanish Open just a year later.

A major refurbishment was completed in 2016 with greens reshaped and reduced back to their original, smaller sizes, along with fairways being reshaped, Bermuda grass being laid across 37 hectares, and bunkers modernized. It will play as a par 72 for the DP World Tour event.

Who is playing in the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters?

While Clark will travel from America for the event, Matthieu Pavon will make the journey 650km south from Madrid in a bid to win back-to-back DP World Tour titles.

The Frenchman sealed his first win in his 185th start, ten years after turning pro, at last week’s acciona Open de España in Madrid.

Home favorite Adrian Otaegui is back to defend his title, with Jorge Campillo, Pablo Larrazabal, Rafa Cabrera Bello, and Adri Arnaus among a host of Spaniards in the field.

BMW PGA champion Ryan Fox, who has hopes of winning the Race to Dubai, 2018 Open champion Francesco Molinari, former Ryder Cup player Matt Kuchar, and Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship winner Victor Perez will also be among those teeing it up in Sotogrande.

Who will win the Andalucia Masters?

It wasn’t the dream Ryder Cup debut for Wyndham Clark, but in his first start since Team USA’s defeat in Rome, the US Open champion is the 10-1 favorite to win in Spain.

Ryan Fox is 12/1 to add his fifth DP World Tour title, with Poland’s Adrian Meronk third-favorite at 16/1.
