Tournament: Celtic Manor Wales Open

Course: The Celtic Manor Resort, Roman Road Course

Prize Fund: £1,500,000

The lowdown: This is a tournament with an impressive list of past winners ? the names of Ryder Cup stars McGinley, Lawrie, Poulter and Jiménez have all graced the trophy in the past six years. Defending champion Robert Karlsson will be hoping to recapture the form that saw him walk away with this title last year but his biggest threat could come in the form of Retief Goosen ? the world number 10 plays for the first time. Local boy Bradley Dredge (pictured) will lead the home charge.
