Brown, who led the final men’s Major of the year after the first round, joined the DP World Tour winner’s circle last year after triumphing at the 2023 ISPS Handa World Invitational and will be looking to continue his strong form from Royal Troon with another good showing on home soil at The Belfry.
“I’m really excited about playing in front of the home fans again so soon after The Open,” said Brown. “Having their support last week was amazing, and I’m sure they’ll be out in force again at The Belfry.
“I’ve taken a lot of confidence from the way I played at Royal Troon, and I’m looking forward to another week on home soil taking on a strong field at a world-renowned venue.”

Compatriot Jordan joins Brown amongst the home contingent at The Belfry after a similarly positive week at Royal Troon in which he carded four successive rounds of level par to finish in a share of tenth for the second year in a row at The Open.
The 28-year-old will be making his sixth appearance at the Betfred British Masters this year after debuting in 2019, when he posted a sensational opening round of 63 to lead by two shots after the first round.
“The British Masters is always a special event for me,” said Jordan. “The list of past champions is packed with legends of the game, from Sam Torrance and Thomas Bjørn to Seve and even Sir Nick himself, so having the chance to add my name to that is a fantastic opportunity.
“I have some great memories from the tournament over the past few years, and I’m hoping to make a few more at The Belfry this year.”

The Betfred British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo will be the first event of the Back 9 on the Race to Dubai and comes at a crucial time as players look to boost their ranking ahead of the DP World Tour Play-offs.
Brown and Jordan will be part of a strong British contingent at the tournament, which includes victorious Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald and 2016 Masters Champion Danny Willett – both of whom have hosted the tournament in previous years – as well as rising star and Junior Ryder Cup winner Kris Kim, who will be making his DP World Tour debut.
