Overview
- The Genesis Scottish Open runs July 10–13 with a $9 million purse, awarding $1.62 million to the winner and granting the top three non-exempt finishers spots in next week’s Open Championship.
- The Renaissance Club’s course upgrades, highlighted by a fully enclosed stadium on the par-3 sixth hole, are ready for the Rolex Series event.
- Eight of the world’s top ten players, led by No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and No. 2 Rory McIlroy, will test their links preparations against firm fairways and coastal winds.
- Scheffler is bucking his usual pre-major rest by seeking links exposure this week, while McIlroy returns after a break aimed at recharging his game.
- Local favorite and defending champion Robert MacIntyre will bid to become the first player to win successive Scottish Opens on home soil in the modern era.
