Pop superstar Justin Timberlake arrives to play golf in Carnoustie as Hollywood stars descend on Courier Country

Timberlake will be teeing off on Thursday along with a group of celebrities like Hollywood actor Bill Murray, Peter Jones from Dragons’ Den, breakfast host Piers Morgan, cricket legend Sir Ian Botham and Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford.

Video of the singer practising for the competition has been watched more than 1,100 times in three hours.

The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, a celebration of links golf at its finest, takes place over the Old Course at St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns, from Thursday until Sunday.

It incorporates two separate competitions — an individual professional tournament for the world’s leading golfers and the Team Championship, in which the pro’s are paired with amateur players.

The amateurs will be joining the strongest ever professional field in the history of the Alfred Dunhill Links, led by three of the world’s top 10 — Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose and Jon Rahm.

Open champion Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood and US Ryder Cup player Tony Finau also make up the field.
