Four-time major champ Rory McIlroy is the latest top name to confirm that he will be teeing it up at next month’s Scottish Open.

It will be the first time since 2019 that McIlroy has featured at the event, skipping the 2020 tournament which was delayed until October due to COVID-19.

The Northern Irishman will be seeking to improve upon a T34 finish in 2019 as he looks to hit form before featuring in his first Open Championship since missing the cut at Royal Portrush.

McIlroy, 32, will join a star-studded line-up at the Renaissance Club, as East Lothian gets set to welcome the likes of recent US Open Champion Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele, Tyrrell Hatton, Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa.
