Scheffler joins stellar field for Scottish Open

Scheffler had become a regular at the event before sitting out last year's edition due to the Olympics, where he won a gold medal in Paris, adding to a busy summer schedule.

The American continued a fine season when he successfully defended his title at the Memorial Tournament, and is now included in one of the strongest Scottish Open fields.

Indeed, the current top five players in the world rankings - and seven of the top 10 - will all be using the tournament as preparation for The Open Championship.

Scheffler joins the likes of Masters champion Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa and Justin Thomas in being announced by the organisers.

In addition, two others - European Ryder Cup duo Ludvig Aberg and Sepp Straka - in the current top ten in the global standings will be among those challenging for the title.

After a slow start to his 2025 campaign, Scheffler won the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow last month before lifting the Memorial Tournament for the second time.

The 28-year-old, who has racked up an astonishing 16 victories in just over three years, made his debut at the Scottish Open in 2021.

He carded a 63 in the second round as he finished in a tie for 12th behind Australian Min Woo Lee.

Scheffler missed the cut the following year before posting scores of 68-65-67-70 to secure a share of third spot behind McIlroy, who pipped Bob MacIntyre to the title in 2023.

"I'm looking forward to getting back to the Genesis Scottish Open next month," Scheffler said.

"It's an event and a course I enjoy playing, given we only get to play links golf a couple of times a year.
