Alfred Dunhill Links Championship format
The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is played over four days, and there is a cut for the qualifying field.
The field of 168 players is reduced to the top 60 and ties for the final round of the event. The 54-hole cut is made of the top 60 professionals and the leading 20 pro-am teams, regardless of the professional member of the team making the individual cut. These players and teams advance to the final round at St. Andrews. Each professional-amateur team plays one round on each rotation course before the cut is made.
At the end of the 72-hole event, the lowest score wins.
