To paraphrase Ron Burgundy, the Scottish Open is kind of a big deal.
In 2022, the tournament has a new sponsor, a new, elevated status, a monster field and a $1,440,000 first-place prize.
Formerly the abrdn Scottish Open, Genesis has taken over as title sponsor. The event, at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, is back as host site. For the first time, it’s co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour.
The field will be a split between members of both tours and competitors will earn FedEx Cup points — 500 to the winner — a first for a DP World Tour event.
