The Genesis Scottish Open is a professional golf tournament in Scotland, and is one of five tournaments that are part of the Rolex Series, which identifies it as one of the European Tour's premier events. It has been played on various courses, but in recent years it has been played on a links course, appealing to players who wish to gain experience before the Open, which takes place in the following week. Since 1987 it has, together with John Deere Classic, been the last chance to qualify for The Open. It has been part of the Open Qualifying Series since that series started in 2014. The leading 3 players (4 in 2016) not already qualified, have received an entry to the Open. Before 2014 there was generally an exemption category so that the leading player or players, not already qualified, could play in the Open. The Scottish Open became a Rolex Series event in 2017 (when the series was inaugurated), which meant the prize fund was increased to $7 million. Beginning in 2022, the tournament was co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and title sponsored by Genesis South Korea's Tom Kim won the 2026 Genesis Scottish Open, capturing his first professional title in nearly three years. He shot a spectacular, bogey-free 6-under 64 in the final round to finish at 17-under par overall at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland. The co-sanctioned PGA Tour and DP World Tour event concluded on Sunday, 12 July 2026, overcoming significant schedule adjustments after thick coastal fog suspended play during Saturday's third round. The Open Exemption: Johnny Keefer, Keita Nakajima, and final-day chargers punched their late tickets to the upcoming Open Championship at Royal Birkdale by being the top three non-exempt players.
