Scottie Scheffler is set to lead a stellar lineup at next week’s Genesis Scottish Open, which includes eight of the world’s top 10 ranked players. The event will take place at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, featuring notable competitors from both the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour.
Scheffler, ranked No. 1 globally, chose not to participate in last year’s tournament to rest and spend time with his family, especially his son, Bennett. This will mark Scheffler’s fourth appearance at the Scottish Open, where his best performance came two years ago with a tie for third place.
High-Profile Players Confirmed and Absences Noted
Joining Scheffler are No. 2 Rory McIlroy and No. 3 Xander Schauffele, both of whom will compete at the Renaissance Club. However, No. 6 Russell Henley and No. 7 Keegan Bradley are missing from the roster. The tournament also boasts the participation of defending champion Robert MacIntyre and Padraig Harrington, the recent U.S. Senior Open winner.
Corey Conners is returning to competition at the Scottish Open after withdrawing from the U.S. Open due to a right wrist injury, marking his first play since that setback. The field is rounded out by four sponsor exemptions: Luke Clanton, David Ford, Alex Noren, and Brandt Snedeker.
