Three of the most iconic venues in golf are also three of the cutest. The DP World Tour’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is played over three historic golf courses – The Old Course at St. Andrews, Carnoustie, and Kingsbarns – over the first three days. Then for the final round, everyone hits the Old Course a second time. Some of the big names in the field include Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tyrrell Hatton, and Billy Horschel. During the week, the golf courses get visits from a variety of everyone’s four-legged friends. All dogs must remain on a leash but they can tag along any day of the week. The tournament released a video called “The Dogs of Dunhill” as well.
