The spectacular Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Switzerland is the location for the latest stop on the DP World Tour for the Omega European Masters. 

Last year, South African Thriston Lawrence claimed victory after a playoff against Matt Wallace. Both players return here, with each looking for his fifth DP World Tour victory. 

The highest-ranked player in the field is World No.8 Matt Fitzpatrick. The 2022 US Open champion has won this tournament twice, in 2017 and 2018, and he'll be looking to make that a hat-trick, particularly with his near certain appearance in the Ryder Cup just a month away. 

Fitzpatrick finished T13 at the PGA Tour's season finale, the Tour Championship, to wrap up a satisfying campaign that included a win in the RBC Heritage and he'll be confident of finding that form in the tournament. 

Fitzpatrick's brother, Alex, has also been making a name for himself lately. After finishing ahead of Matt in a T17 at The Open, he claimed his maiden professional title in the British Challenge on the Challenge Tour. Not done there, he then finished runner-up at the ISPS Handa World Invitational to further enhance his growing reputation. Can Alex get the better of his sibling again this week?

The tournament marks the final opportunity for players to impress European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald ahead of the biennial match. Robert MacIntyre, who currently occupies the final qualifying position on the European points list, plays, as does Yannik Paul, who stands directly beneath him in fourth.

Others who will be out to prove they ought to be on Donald's team ahead of his six captain's picks include Victor Perez, Pablo Larrazabal and Adrian Meronk, who won May's Italian Open at the venue for the match, Marco Simone. Rasmus Hojgaard, who won this tournament in 2021, will be another hoping to force his way into Donald's thoughts.

Elsewhere, Ludvig Aberg has another opportunity to show his ability as his fledgling professional career continues, while three-time Major winner Padraig Harrington also participates

There are more former winners in the field, too, including 2019 champion Sebastian Soderberg and 2015 victor Danny Willett.

Players will compete for a €2.5m purse, up €500,000 on the 2022 fund. The winner will bank €425,000 while the runner-up will earn €275,000.
