Don't be fooled by the name of the venue – the London Golf Club is out near Brands Hatch, a good 30 miles from the capital. But if London Wasps can play rugby in Wycombe and London Irish in Reading, we'll let it lie. The challenging par-72 Jack Nicklaus-designed Heritage Course is actually the seventh to stage the event, which has spent the last 13 years at the K Club in Ireland. Colin Montgomerie is the defending champion, though it'll need a major upturn in form for Monty to figure among the leaders again. Instead, Sergio Garcia and Padraig Harrington will play together in this country for the first time since their epic Open Championship duel last year, while Justin Rose heads to Kent after finishing joint runner-up in the Memorial Tournament, a performance which lifted him to world number six and the highest-placed European. If you can get along on Thursday, admission is free via an e-ticket available from the European Tour Tickets website. Andrew Shields
