Genesis Scottish Open 2024

One of the five professional golf tournaments in Scotland that is a part of the Rolex Series, the Genesis Scottish Open is considered one of the top events on the European Tour. Although it has been played on a variety of courses, in recent years it has been played on a links course of the Renaissance Club, which has drawn players looking to gain experience ahead of the Open Championship.

Since 1987, it has been the final opportunity to qualify for the Open, along with the John Deere Classic. Since the Open Qualifying Series' inception in 2014, it has been a part of it. In case they haven't qualified already, the top three players (four in 2016) have been granted access to the Open. Since the Scottish Open was added to the Rolex Series in 2017 (the year the series was launched), the prize money has grown by $7 million. Starting in 2022, Genesis sponsored the title, and the PGA Tour co-sanctioned the event.

Genesis Scottish Open History

The inaugural Sunbeam Electric Scottish Open took place at Dundee's Downfield Golf Club in 1972 as a part of the European Tour; the event was sponsored by Sunbeam Electric in 1971. In a sudden-death playoff, Neil Coles defeated Brian Huggett by making a 12-foot putt on the second hole. A total of £10,000 was awarded, along with a £2,000 first prize.

Even though ITV broadcast the events in 1972 and 1973, the event for the following season was canceled because there was no television coverage available. In 1986, the Glasgow Open, which had been played at Haggs Castle Golf Club from 1983 to 1985, was renamed the Scottish Open and was once again added to the European Tour schedule.

The event was held at Gleneagles the week before the Open Championship in 1987, having previously taken place at Haggs Castle. The BBC also aired live coverage of the event in 1987 and did so until 1993. It stayed at Gleneagles until Bell's pulled off their sponsorship in 1994, the same year that SKY replaced the BBC as the network providing TV coverage. It was held, unsponsored, at Carnoustie in 1995 and 1996.

Since 1997, the Loch Lomond World Invitational—which had its inaugural event at Loch Lomond Golf Club in September 1996—has occupied the pre-open spot on the European Tour schedule for the Scottish Open. The Loch Lomond event took place the week prior to the Open Championship, from 1997 to 2000; the "Scottish Open" name was not used in these events; ISM owned the rights to use it. The Loch Lomond event was renamed the Scottish Open in 2001, and all previous editions, including the September 1996 event, were given the title of Scottish Open.

Genesis Scottish Open 2024 Course

Scotland's Renaissance Club is a golf club situated in North Berwick, about 20 miles east of Edinburgh. The Ladies Scottish Open was held there in 2019 and 2020, as well as the Scottish Senior Open in 2017. The Genesis Scottish Open was first held at the club in 2019 and will continue there until 2026.

This is a Links course, the most traditional type of golf course, having originated in Scotland. Compared to parkland and heathland courses, link courses are typically constructed on sandy coastland, which provides a firmer playing surface.
