Another trio of huge names added to Genesis Scottish Open

The Genesis Scottish Open field is showing no signs of letting up.

Earlier in the month, Scottie Scheffler confirmed that he’d join Rory McIlroy in the star-studded lineup at the Renaissance Club.

It followed the news that Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Åberg and Sepp Straka would all tee it up in East Lothian in July.

And now, the event has revealed that another trio of huge names will take part.

Tommy Fleetwood, Viktor Hovland and Sungjae Im are the latest stars to join the world-class field, which is set to include eight of the world’s top ten.

From July 10-13, they’ll star alongside another Ryder Cup star and the defending champ Robert MacIntyre, who agonisingly missed out on US Open glory last weekend.

World No.9 Hovland finished third at Oakmont, meanwhile, and will be vying for a third DP World Tour win.

“The Genesis Scottish Open is a fun week, with the DP World Tour and PGA Tour guys coming together,” he said.

“I’ve played the tournament a few times now and I always enjoy getting back to Scotland.”

For Fleetwood, it will be an 11th time playing Scotland’s national open, and he’ll hope to go one better than a second-place finish in 2020.

“I always enjoy playing in the Genesis Scottish Open, and it makes for a great couple of weeks, coming just before The Open,” the Englishman said.

“I’ve come close a couple of times over the last few years, and I would love to lift the trophy at Renaissance Club.”

And Im will make his fourth consecutive appearance in the Genesis Scottish Open when he lands in the Home of Golf next month.

The Korean finished fourth last year and already has three top-five finishes on the PGA Tour this season.

“I’m happy to be able to include the Genesis Scottish Open on my schedule again this season, and I look forward to another exciting week with many of the best players in the world coming together at the Renaissance Club,” he said.

Co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour and PGA Tour, the event will welcome the top five players in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR).

It counts on both the Race to Dubai Rankings and the FedEx Cup standings, taking place one week before The Open.

General admission tickets and season tickets are still available to purchase.
