The Andalucia Masters marks the second of the Iberian Swing tournaments following last week’s Spanish Open, where John Rahm claimed the title for a record-equalling third time.

The World No.5 isn’t in the field for this week’s event, but the man five places beneath him in the Official World Golf Ranking, Matt Fitzpatrick, is. The US Open champion won this tournament last year after taking advantage of Sebastian Soderberg’s late collapse to claim a three-shot victory. He will be hoping for a repeat of that success as he looks to cement his place in the DP World Tour Rankings ahead of next month’s prestigious DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.

New Zealander Ryan Fox claimed his third win on the Tour in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at the start of the month, and the World No.23 is also in the field as he looks to build on that fine performance at Real Club de Valderrama. Another recent DP World Tour victor, Robert MacIntyre, who beat Fitzpatrick in a playoff to win last month’s Italian Open, also appears. Meanwhile, 2020 Andalucia Masters winner John Catlin returns hoping for his third win on the Tour since that one-shot victory over former World No.1 Martin Kaymer.  

Sergio Garcia boasts the record number of wins in the tournament with the most recent of his three victories coming in 2018, but there’s no sign of the LIV Golf player this week, Meanwhile, he’s also absent from next week’s Mallorca Open as his hopes of making next year’s Ryder Cup appear to have been dashed. Nevertheless, there are still several local players in the field, including Alfredo Garcia-Heredia, who finished tied for sixth last week. Pablo Larazzabal, whose 2022 has included a brief excursion to LIV Golf as well as two DP World Tour wins, most recently In April’s ISPS Handa Championship in Spain, is another local player who will be hoping for a strong performance.

Players will be competing for a purse of Є3m, an identical sum to last year’s tournament. The winner will claim Є500,000, but to do so, he’ll need to come to terms with the famously small greens on the immaculate course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr.

The purse for the 2022 Andalucia Masters is €3m, an identical sum to the 2021 tournament. The winner will earn €500,000 with the runner-up claiming €333,320. Last year, Matt Fitzpatrick took the top prize and he returns to defend his title.
