There is no shortage of world-class players competing at the BMW PGA Championship, among them 11 of the 12 Team Europe Ryder Cup players.
One of those is LIV Golf’s Jon Rahm, but it's not just the Spaniard from the big-money circuit who teed it up at Wentworth for the first round on Thursday, with several more in the field.
The fourth LIV Golf season concluded with the Team Championship in August, clearing the way for its players to compete in tournaments that offer valuable world ranking points, among them the DP World Tour's flagship event.
That meant that, as well as Rahm, big names from LIV Golf all began the tournament, including his Legion XIII teammate Tyrrell Hatton, Patrick Reed, Brooks Koepka and Joaquin Niemann.
With one round to play of the tournament, it's Hatton who is leading the way on the LIV Golf leaderboard.
He is just two back of leaders Adrien Saddier and Alex Noren on 13 under in pursuit of his ninth DP World Tour title.
Patrick Reed is also in contention for his fourth title after his third round of 69 left him on 10 under for the tournament.
Further down the LIV Golf leaderboard, Joaquin Niemann begins the final round six adrift on nine under, with Tom McKibbin in T20 at eight under.
Rahm has a mountain to climb to even mount a challenge in the fourth round, but he is still having a solid week and headed back to the clubhouse after his third round on seven under.
Meanwhile, just squeezing above the third round cut line of three under is six-time DP World Tour winner Thomas Pieters.
For three LIV Golfers, there was disappointment, with five-time Major winner Brooks Koepka’s poor run of form continuing as he finished on one under to become one of the big names to miss the cut.
Stinger GC’s Dean Burmester finished with an identical score, while Adrian Meronk was the last of the LIV Golfers in the field after rounds of 77 and 69 ensured he missed the cut line by four to finish on two over.
