The Genesis Scottish Open offers the final opportunity for DP World Tour members to play their way into The 152nd Open at Royal Troon.
The tournament, co-sanctioned with the PGA TOUR, is the 16th and last in The Open Qualifying Series (OQS), which has so far seen 41 players book their spots in the field for the final Major Championship of the year.
There are three places on offer to the leading three players, not already exempt, who make the cut at this week’s second Rolex Series event of the 2024 Race to Dubai schedule.
The Open, the oldest golf tournament in the world, is being held this year from July 18-21.
Brian Harman is set to defend his Open Championship title later this month in Ayrshire, having lifted the Claret Jug for his first Major victory at Royal Liverpool last year.
