The tee times for the first two rounds of the Scottish Open have been announced, with defending champion Rory McIlroy headlining a strong field competing at The Renaissance Club.
Just a week before the fourth and final Major of the year, The Open Championship, the Scottish Open will see some of the best players in the world test their skills at the North Berwick links.
McIlroy, among several big names in the field, returns to action for the first time since his US Open collapse at Pinehurst, where he fell short by one stroke in an agonizing defeat to Bryson DeChambeau.
The world No.2 will be looking to become the first player to win back-to-back Scottish Open titles and add to his two PGA Tour wins this season.
He will tee off alongside last year’s runner-up Robert MacIntyre and Viktor Hovland at 3.28am ET (8.28am BST).
Another notable group sees world No.3 Xander Schauffele alongside Tommy Fleetwood and Wyndham Clark teeing off at 3.39am ET (8.39am BST).
Hideki Matsuyama, Collin Morikawa and Ludvig Aberg is another intriguing grouping, with the trio teeing off at 8.43am ET (1.43pm BST).
The 156-man field will compete for a share of the $9 million total purse, with the winner getting $1.62m.
Six of the top-seven players in the world are in the field, with the only absentee being world No.1 Scottie Scheffler.
Scheffler confirmed after his sixth victory of the season at the Travelers Championship that he would be taking a short break before playing The Open, the Olympics, and the final three playoff events in the FedEx Cup.
The Scottish Open – which is co-sanctioned by the PGA and DP World Tours – is also the final chance for players from the European circuit to qualify for The Open, with three spots on offer.
