The first year of a strategic alliance between the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour kicks off with the 2022 Scottish Open from The Renaissance Club in North Berwick. A field of 154 golfers comprises 75 PGA Tour players, 75 DP World Tour players, three from the KPGA, and three unrestricted sponsor exemptions – 14 of the top 15 ranked pros will be teeing it up in preparation for next week’s Open Championship.
The Renaissance Club plays as a par 70 at 7,293 yards. This is only the fourth time the Scottish Open has been held at this Tom Doak design, and although it has a reputation as a tight driving course with tricky greens, it does yield a plethora of birdies as the average winning score here has been 17-under-par.
