Ryder Cup Captain Henrik Stenson, 2017 European Number One Tommy Fleetwood and a host of 2022 DP World Tour winners are in action - but who will be lifting the trophy come Sunday?

Favourite - Tommy Fleetwood
The Englishman is the highest ranked player in the field this week and arrives full of confidence after a top-five in his last DP World Tour start at the US PGA Championship.
He also has two further worldwide top tens in 2022 as he seeks a first DP World Tour victory since 2019, having not missed a cut in a regular event for almost four years.
This will be his first time playing at Green Eagle but that should not prove any hindrance for the two-time Ryder Cup player, who said after his performance at Southern Hills Country Club: "To come out in a Major and play solid and do that, it gives you a boost and gives you some confidence going into the next period. I mean, it's busy now, and with two Majors left, every week is a big event always these days. It's nice that I'm sort of racking up what I feel is really good golf."
Form horse - Adrian Meronk
The Pole sealed his third top-three finish of the season at last week's Dutch Open, finishing just a single shot out of the play-off won by Victor Perez.
He had back-to-back top-three finishes, albeit a month apart, at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters and Catalunya Championship and also finished sixth at the Soudal Open in his last five starts.
The 28-year-old is surely edging ever closer to that maiden DP World Tour victory, and has the added incentive this week of sealing a place at the U.S. Open Championship via the Qualifying Series for the second year in a row.
Wild card - Thomas Detry
Detry is aiming to make the U.S. Open for the third year in a row via the Qualifying Series and returns to a happy hunting ground this week.
He finished in a tie for second here last season after holding the first-round lead and his worst result in three appearances at Green Eagle is a tie for 37th.
Has just one top ten so far this season and has missed his last two cuts but his class is undoubted and nobody would be surprised if this was the week he won his first DP World Tour title.
