Matt Fitzpatrick is the top-most-ranked OWGR player in the field. He has won the tournament twice and will look to win his 10th title on the DP World Tour. Miguel Ángel Jiménez will be playing his 34th Omega European Masters. Talking about it, he said (via European Tour):

"This is my favourite place to play golf, and I love coming back here every year. Just look around to understand what I love about this place. I don't know how many years I have left but as long as I feel capable of making birdies, you will find me at the Omega European Masters."

The other notable players to tee at the tournament are Erik van Rooyen, Sebastian Söderberg, Rasmus Højgaard, Thriston Lawrence and Richie Ramsay.

The tournament is a great opportunity for the players to earn Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points and the Race to Dubai points. Further, for the European players, a good performance at the tournament can help them in the qualification process for the Ryder Cup.
