The Genesis Scottish Open is currently the only co-sanctioned event between the PGA and DP World Tour. It is one of the five tournaments that is part of the Rolex Series, so it also doubles as one of the DP World Tour's five premier events. For the second time ever, it will also provide FedEx Cup points as well. The event has been played on several different courses, but in 2019, it moved to the Renaissance Club. We’ve seen a wide variety of different scoring conditions at Tom Doak’s modern links design, and like most coastal courses in the area, the wind completely dictates how challenging the course will play. In 2021, Min Woo Lee defeated Matt Fitzpatrick and Thomas Detry in a playoff at 18 under, and yet last year, it only took a winning score of seven under-par for Xander Schauffele to triumph. While this event is always the week before the Open Championship, it still receives an incredibly strong field. Schauffele will return to defend his title, and he will be met by a worthy crop of challengers, including World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay, Rickie Fowler, Max Homa, Jordan Spieth, Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Viktor Hovland, amongst others.
