Active LIV Golf members will be competing in a non-major championship PGA Tour-sanctioned event for the first time this week.
The field at the Genesis Scottish Open, which begins Thursday at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, includes seven LIV players: Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, David Puig, Laurie Canter, Tom McKibbin, Adrian Meronk, and Victor Perez.
With a purse of $9 million, the Scottish Open is a popular tune-up event for the Open Championship, which will be played next week at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England.
The Scottish Open in 2022 became the first tournament to be co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and DP World Tour. That means members of both tours are allowed to compete in the event, which allots points to both the PGA Tour’s FedExCup and DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai.
The four majors are each run by independent organizations, which have not placed any bans on LIV players like the PGA Tour has.
