Paul Broadhurst
The competitor in the field with the greatest career highlights (1991 Ryder Cup, 6 European Tour wins, and 5 PGA Tour Champions wins), Broadhurst will be one of the favorites for sure. With the PGA Tour Champions season set to resume the last week in July, he has been keeping his game sharp by playing on the 1836 Tour and 2020 Pro Tour in northern England.
Robert Rock
Known for his near-perfect swing and classic style, the full-time pro and part-time coach will certainly be one of the betting favorites. With a best finish of tied-36th in Oman, "Rocky" will be looking to get his game back in shape before the Tour's re-start next month.
Oliver Farr
Another European Tour member in the field, the 32-year-old Welshman will also be looking to get his game in shape after struggling in the first six events of his season. His best finish is tied-28th in the South African Open in January. Farr wrote a blog entry on the European Tour's website describing his play last season and his wife's career working for the NHS during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ashley Chesters
The third and final European Tour member in the field, the 30-year-old Englishman is currently ranked 102nd on the Race to Dubai. He will be looking forward to getting a scorecard in his hand and competing for the title.
Meghan MacLaren
This woman has a lot of talent and will be paired with Farr and James Mack. A winner on the LET in 2019, she has been billed as a future Solheim Cup player. The Englishwoman has been outspoken regarding the gap between the men's and women's game in terms of prize money and sponsorships. Do not be surprised to see her name near the top of the leaderboard at Sandwell Park.
Holly Clyburn
A member of the Ladies European Tour and Symetra Tour, the Englishwoman will certainly be itching to compete after playing only three events so far in 2020. A former top-100 ranked player in the world back in 2014, the popular player will be looking to get a competitive round in to see where her game is at before the women's game resumes.
Felicity Johnson
The third LET player in the field, Johnson is a two-time winner on the circuit but has struggled in the past few years. She lives in Birmingham so maybe she can use the home comforts to her advantage. Will be looking to get some competitive reps in before the LET resumes (next event is scheduled to be the Ladies Scottish Open in August).
George Bloor
Keep an eye on this player. Plays a lot of events on the UK mini tour circuit and usually finishes in the money. Won the Portugal Pro Tour Order of Merit in 2019/2020 and will be awarded a few Challenge Tour starts in 2020 or 2021. Recently won on the 1836 Tour on 6/19/2020 after shooting a 65 which is what needs to be shot to win these 18-hole events.
Richard Mansell
Another talented Englishman who finished 2nd on the EuroPro Tour Order of Merit and has a Challenge Tour card for 2020. His form in 2020 has not been up to his standards but anyone who has shot 58 in college can go low any day of the week.
Marco Penge
In keeping with the theme of talented young Englishmen, Penge has Challenge Tour status courtesy of his finish on the EuroPro Tour in 2019. He recently won on the 1836 Tour after shooting 65 and has the game to go low. A little inconsistent but if his game is on, he will be near the top of the leaderboard.
