The Genesis Scottish Open is a professional men's golf tournament and part of the DP World Tour. It is part of the DP World Tour's Rolex Series and since 2022 has been jointly sanctioned by the PGA Tour, meaning it offers a higher prize fund and attracts more of the game’s top players as a result.
It was established in 1972, and after being cancelled 2 years later when TV coverage of the tournament could not be arranged, it was revived in 1986 and has been held annually since. The event is typically held in July a week before The Open Championship, giving players one last chance to qualify and warm up for that major.
In 2024, Robert MacIntyre – who finished as runner-up to Rory McIlroy in 2023 – delighted the home fans as he became the first Scot since Colin Montgomerie to win the event since 1999, finishing a single-stroke ahead of Australia's Adam Scott.
