Scottie Scheffler, the world’s number one, has confirmed that he will compete in the Scottish Open this year from July 10 through July 13 at the East Lothian resort.
The top five players in the world rankings, along with seven of the top 10, will use the tournament as their final week of preparation for the tournament’s follow-up event, which will take place in Royal Portrush, Northern Ireland, on Wednesday.
One of the strongest Scottish Open fields ever will now be home for American Scheffler, who continued to impress with a strong season on Sunday when he successfully defended his title there.
After finishing in third place on his last appearance at the Renaissance Club in 2023, the 28-year-old makes his return to the Scottish Open.
In East Lothian, the three-time major winner will compete alongside fellow Americans Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, and Justin Thomas, as well as world number two Rory McIlroy from Northern Ireland, Sepp Straka from Austria, and Ludvig Aberg from Sweden.
All three of McIlroy, Schauffele, and Robert MacIntyre from Scotland will participate, according to McIlroy.
Since Colin Montgomerie won the trophy at Loch Lomond in 1999, MacIntyre became the first Scot to do so last year.
