The PGA Tour visits North Berwick, Scotland, this week ahead of the final major championship of the season
The appetizer for the final major championship of the season is expected to be a tasty one. The 2024 Scottish Open takes center stage this week at the Renaissance Club as the PGA Tour welcomes a strong field to its co-sanctioned event with the DP World Tour.
In only its third go-round as a co-sanctioned event, the Scottish Open has already identified two elite winners. Xander Schauffele held off a fierce chasing pack that included Tom Kim in 2022, while Rory McIlroy made birdie on his final two holes in 2023 to usurp Scotland's Robert MacIntyre for the title.
McIlroy returns to competition this week in what will be his first start since the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2. Taking some time away from the game, the four-time major champion will hope for a successful defense at another national open in what will be his final preparation for The Open.
