As widely expected, it has today been confirmed that The Renaissance club will stage the Scottish Open and Ladies’ Scottish Open in 2020.

More than 66,000 fans flocked to the Tom Doak-designed course for this year’s men’s event – the highest figure since the tournament began travelling to venues across the country in 2011, following a 16-year spell at Loch Lomond Golf Club.
