Who is playing in the Genesis Scottish Open 2025? Full field and qualification explored

The Genesis Scottish Open 2025 is set to start next week at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland. The event, falling a week ahead of The Open Championship, will feature a stacked field headlined by World No.1 Scottie Scheffler and No.2 Rory McIlroy. The top duo, who skipped two back-to-back PGA Tour events, will return to playing field ahead of the major.

Both Scheffler and McIlroy commits to the Scottish Open after sharing T6 finish at the Travelers Championship in June. Having played the final Signature Event of the season, the ace golfers will be eyeing a big result at the PGA Tour and DP World Tour co-sanctioned Scottish outing ahead of the final major of the year.

For the unversed, McIlroy won the Scottish Open in 2023 beating native hero Robert MacIntyre by a stroke. Interestingly, the Scotsman won the competition last year now returns this weekend as the defending champion. He is also eligible for the competition as a top-30 finisher from last season's FedExCup points list, like McIlroy and Scheffler.

The trio mentioned above will be joined by the likes of Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, Adam Scott, Wyndham Clark, Sam Burns, Viktor Hovland, Justin Thomas and Ludvig Aberg, among others. Notably, Aaron Rai, Justin Rose and Alex Noren are some other past winners to watch in Scotland this weekend. It is pertinent to note that LIV golfers remain banned from the competition.
