Sandy Lyle, Paul Lawrie and Andrew Coltart will be at the world-famous Brabazon course at The Belfry in September to compete against some of the game's biggest names.

Sandy Lyle gets set for The Quinn Direct British Masters

Sandy Lyle is a legend of the fairway, having been the first Brit to win the US Masters as well as the British Masters in his heyday of the eighties. Last year he returned to the Ryder Cup fold as an assistant captain while Andrew Coltart made his debut against America alongside Paul Lawrie in 1999, the year that Paul came from behind to secure a great victory at the Open Championship at Carnoustie.

The Quinn Direct British Masters 2007 will take place on the course that has played host to four Ryder Cup matches. The event will see the return of top level European Tour golf to the venue along with many of its biggest stars.

“It looks like a great field will be playing the Quinn Direct British Masters and I can't wait to pit my skills against some of the world's best," said Coltart. "It's a fantastic venue and I'm sure we're going to witness some of the best golf of the season.”

Andrew ‘Chubby’ Chandler, Managing Director of promoters International Sports Management said: “This is quite a contingent from Scotland and of course provides us with more British hopes we can cheer on for victory. With each player announcement, the competition is getting tougher and we have more to come, so watch this space!”

The prestigious tournament will be played from 20 – 23 September 2007, including a Pro-Am day on 19 September.
