Jon Rahm, a two-time major winner, is returning to the Genesis Scottish Open, a tournament co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and DP World Tour. The event will take place at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, starting on Thursday.

Rahm’s Experience with Links Golf

Rahm has enjoyed success playing links golf, including two wins in the Irish Open and a runner-up finish at The Open Championship at Royal Liverpool in 2023. He expressed his excitement about playing in the Scottish Open, stating that a victory on Scottish soil would be fantastic.

Rahm has had a strong season on the LIV Golf tour, with two wins and four runner-up finishes. He also tied for second at the PGA Championship in May. However, he missed the cut at last month’s U.S. Open and finished T55 in his last appearance in the Scottish Open in 2022.

Preparation for The Open Championship

Rahm is using the Scottish Open as preparation for The Open Championship next week at Royal Birkdale. He believes that playing a links golf event before The Open Championship will help him get a better feel for the course and the weather conditions.
