2025 was a bumper year for English players on the Race to Dubai, with four of them claiming dual membership with the PGA TOUR.
And three of them return home this week for the Husqvarna British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo at The Belfry.
We caught up with Marco Penge, John Parry and Dan Brown to discuss being home, the PGA TOUR and plans for the rest of the season as they look to retain their places as international players.

"I've missed this Tour. Going to the PGA TOUR has been a great experience and a great place for me to improve, but you know, there's nothing like being back on the DP World Tour, and after the success I had last year, it's nice to be seeing familiar faces and catching up with lots of different people.
"Unfortunately I'm having to prioritise keeping my playing rights in America. Obviously my goal is to play with the best players in the world and I feel like you get that on the PGA TOUR. I feel like it's a place that I can improve the fastest as a golfer, as well and as a person, so yeah, I mean, I need to, I haven't earned the right to be taking weeks off in America and coming back to play here.
"It's kind of been in the back of my mind the whole year, like come on, come on, I want to get the job done as quick as I can so I can come back. But the health stuff has gotten in the way there and a few barriers.
"Unfortunately I won't be playing after next week in Europe, unless I go and win early on in America - so that's the plan."

"It's nice to be home and obviously not have to travel far to get here. It's good to see some old faces and catch up with people.
"I think I've learned a few things. Obviously we get big crowds here and in America you generally play in front of big crowds so that's become more of a normal thing.
"The greens are quite slopy here and usually when I turn up I think it's hard work but because in America they seem to have slopier greens and quicker greens it feels a bit more normal.
"There are certain elements I can take from there to this week.
"I'm playing this event and then I'm going to have two weeks off, treat it a bit like an off-season, and then I'll be out there for nine or ten weeks so it's going to be busy.
"I'll be glad to have a break and be back over here but after that I'll be glad to be back over there as well.
"It's been alright, I'm happy with certain stuff. Like any golfer, we're all the same, I feel like I could have done a little bit better over in America but the competitions I've played over here I've done pretty well and I've had a couple of good Major results so confidence is good."

"It's nice. I came back for the Scottish and The Open which was nice to come back and play in the UK again and this is always a good event. A good event for the Tour in general but being English it gives it that extra feel.
"In general it's not too different. This is one of the better turned-out events on the DP World Tour and that's how it is most weeks in America, so very similar this week.
"I've spent most of the time just being a little frustrated with the way I've played this year. I've been injured a couple of times so I've been battling some niggles which I haven't had to do in previous years gone by so it's been a challenging year.
"Whether a win ca be this week I'm not sure because I'm battling a wrist injury so I'm just going to try and make it to Sunday.
"I've got Irish Open and Wentworth and then I'll probably play five or six events in the Fall Series back in America and see if we can liven up what's been a bit of a dull year so far."
