ST ANDREWS, September 5, 2019 – Multi-talented actor, musician and avid golfer Justin Timberlake, is to play for the first time in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, alongside World No 4 Justin Rose. Timberlake and Rose have paired before in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Former World No 1 Rose has fond memories at the Alfred Dunhill Links, having finished runner-up in 2007. The 2013 U.S. Open Champion and 2016 Olympic gold medallist looks to continue a solid 2019, following a win at the Farmers Insurance Open and a third place finish at the US Open at Pebble Beach.

He has been named twice by Time magazine as one the 100 most influential people in the world.
The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, which takes place from September 26-29, celebrates links golf at its finest and is played over three of the world’s best known and respected courses – the Old Course at St Andrews, Carnoustie and the highly regarded Kingsbarns Golf Links.
