World No.1 and Masters champion Scottie Scheffler is the latest superstar to commit to the Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club in July.
The American joins a stellar field that includes fellow Major winners Collin Morikawa, Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, leading Scot Robert MacIntyre, seven-time DP World Tour winner Matt Fitzpatrick and defending champion Min Woo Lee, who secured his first Rolex Series win at Renaissance Club last season.
Speaking of his decision to once again take to the famed Scottish links, he said: “I enjoyed the week at the Scottish Open last year and I’m looking forward to getting back to the Renaissance Club in July for the start of an exciting two weeks in Scotland.
“I had heard a lot about the event and the Rolex Series before I played for the first time, and it lived up to it. A lot has happened for me since then, and I’m hoping to keep that good feeling going over the summer. Last year was my first trip to Scotland and I can’t wait to play in front of the Scottish fans again, and hopefully see a bit more of this beautiful country.”
The Scottish Open boasts a new headline sponsor in Genesis and will be co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour and PGA Tour as part of its Strategic Alliance. The field will be split between members of both tours and will count towards the DP World Tour Rankings and FedEx Cup.
