14 of the top-15 players in the world are set to play on the coast of Scotland ahead of the final major of the year
One last tune-up for the 150th Open Championship awaits players as the biggest names in the game are set to partake in the Scottish Open event at The Renaissance Club this week. The Tom Doak design will hold the hosting duties for the fourth consecutive year, but this will be the first time it welcomes a mixed field as the Scottish Open has become a co-sanctioned event between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.
Located in North Berwick, Scotland, The Renaissance Club is often described as a faux links golf course. There are traditional features of links golf intertwined in the design, such as wide fairways, large, slow greens, pot bunkers throughout, but also some characteristics which mirror that of golf in the United States.
Because of this, The Renaissance Club makes for a nice stop on the playing schedule before competitors shift their attention to the Old Course at St. Andrews. Collin Morikawa will look to defend his crown as Champion Golfer of the Year next week but will first attempt to find the form which led him to raise the Claret Jug.
