Barely a week has passed since Collin Morikawa finished two shots ahead of Jordan Spieth to win The Open but the world's best golfers are back in action this week.

Justin Rose won gold in Rio 2016 as golf made its first appearance in 112 years, but he will not be present in Tokyo with Paul Casey and Tommy Fleetwood flying the flag for Team GB.

Unlike other majors, the 72-hole individual stroke play tournament has no cut after two rounds, meaning all of the competitors will play all four rounds.
