Italy takes another major stride in the world of golf this week as the Rolex Series arrives in Milan for the Italian Open at Golf Club Milano.

With just five years to go until the 2022 Ryder Cup in Rome, the country will be building anticipation and showing off its best courses with the strongest fields in Europe each year.

Home talent Francesco Molinari, ranked 18th in the world, defends the title after beating Danny Willett by one last time out.

Golf Club Milano makes for a beautiful setting and a host of the world's best players are ascending on Milan with just six tournaments left in the season.

World number five Jon Rahm headlines a field containing Masters champion Sergio Garcia, defending champion Francesco Molinari, last week's winner Tyrrell Hatton, Race to Dubai leader Tommy Fleetwood, European Masters winner Matt Fitzpatrick, new St Andrews Old Course record holder Ross Fisher and Alex Noren.
