The PGA Tour and DP World Tour get together in Scotland this week for a co-sanctioned event
Eight of the top 10 players in the Official World Golf Rankings will tee it up this week at the 2023 Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club. A co-sanctioned event between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour for the second consecutive year, the Scottish Open presents players their last opportunity to prepare for the year's final major championship: the 2023 Open Championship at Royal Liverpool.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will take the links-golf test a week early, as he did a year ago. Missing the cut in his debut appearance at the Scottish Open, the Texan hopes for a better effort this time around. Enjoying one of the best statistical seasons from tee to green, Scheffler has connected on 18 straight top-12 finishes dating back to the fall of 2022 and enters the Scottish Open with six straight top-five results.
Rory McIlroy rolls into Scotland with one eye on Hoylake. The site of his 2014 Open triumph, Royal Liverpool will have to wait a week as McIlroy embarks on his third stroll around The Renaissance Club and his first since 2021. Enjoying little success in this tournament while it was exclusively on the DP World Tour, the four-time major champion hopes a fine tune-up is in his near future.
