Deep, Cross‑Tour Field Sets Stage For Genesis Scottish Open

The co‑sanctioned event unites PGA, DP World and eligible LIV players as the final tune‑up for The Open, and late withdrawals plus a reverted routing and Jon Rahm’s comments on possible personal investment have reshaped the build‑up.

Overview

  • The Genesis Scottish Open begins July 9 at The Renaissance Club with a $9 million purse and a field that includes Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm.
  • Rahm is playing after resolving his DP World Tour eligibility and told reporters he would not rule out investing his own money in LIV Golf if asked.
  • Organizers reverted to the 2019 routing at the Renaissance to strengthen the closing holes, a change confirmed in pre‑tournament notices and course previews.
  • Several notable pre‑tournament withdrawals, including Tony Finau and Brooks Koepka, produced late replacements and altered pairings and betting markets.
  • The event offers three qualifying spots into next week’s Open at Royal Birkdale and will be televised across Golf Channel, CBS and PGA Tour Live on ESPN+, with UK coverage on BBC and Sky.
