He British tomorrowfourth and last Grand Slam of 2023, it wasn’t played this week, but it felt like it was being played. It is the coming (July 20-23) to Royal Liverpool, in Hoylake (England) but based on the participation of those Scottish Open (Movistar Golf) which starts this Thursday at North BerwickWell, it seems to be playing out this week. Within The Renaissance Club (Par 70, 7,237 yards) and has $9 million in prizes (for the winner: .62 million), the American defends his title xander schauffele while the great absentee is the FedEx Cup leader and world number 2 Jon Rahm.

The Scottish Open is co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and DP World Tour for the second year, with each tour contributing at least 75 players to the field of 156. It is also the last of the four PGA Tour tournaments that part of the Open Qualifying Series (OQS), which provides spots for next week’s 151st British Open. The first three non-exempt players to make the cut this week will earn their exemption.

Note that the double winner of the US PGA Justin ThomasAfter an inconsistent season, he has finished in the top 10 of the FedEx Cup standings in each of the past six seasons, but currently sits in 70th place, the final cutoff spot to make the playoffs.

He world no.1 Scottie Scheffler It was in The Renaissance. He has finished tied for 12th or better in 17 straight starts and leads the PGA Tour with 14 top-10s this season.

Come on, this week we’ll have eight top 10s in the world, 19 top 25s, 32 top 50s and 60 top 100s in Scotland. There’s nothing like it all year on the European Tour. If we look at the FedEx Cup, there are seven top 10s, 18 top 30s, forty top 70s and sixty top 100s.

There are no LIV Golf players in Scotland. As they negotiate new deals with the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, it seems clear that some sort of non-aggression pact has been established. Until they decide how LIV golfers will return to the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing much of the regular tournaments.
