World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, two-time defending Masters champion Rory McIlroy and a host of other notable players on the PGA Tour head across the Atlantic Ocean this week for the Genesis Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland.
Coming off a win at the John Deere Classic, Chris Gotterup sets his sights on defending his title at The Renaissance Club. The five-time PGA Tour event winner closed with a 4-under 66 to hold off McIlroy and Marco Penge at the 2025 Scottish Open. Gotterup, 26, looks to become the first back-to-back champion in the tournament's history.
A total of $9 million will be up for grabs, including $1.575 million for the winner.
