Celebrities came to the fore as the Dunhill Links Championship got under way in Tayside and Fife on Thursday.
Hollywood legend Bill Murray, TV star Piers Morgan and US actress Kathryn Newton were among the famous faces on the fairways of Carnoustie.
And singer Ronan Keating, Keane frontman Tom Chaplin and former Genesis star Mike Rutherford graced the greens of the Old Course in St Andrews.
The tournament takes place at both venues, as well as Kingsbarns in Fife, until Sunday.
A number of well-known amateurs from the worlds of acting, music, sport and business team up with some of golf’s biggest names to compete for the championship trophy.
Fans’ favourite Rory McIlroy, this year’s US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick and 2019 Open victor Shane Lowry led the professional line-up.
