NORTH BERWICK - This week, the Genesis Scottish Open can claim the fact it is the strongest field in DPWorldTour history.
“If you throw out the Majors, I would have to think that this is going to be one of the two, three, four best fields that we play the entire year,” said Justin Thomas.
Padraig Harrington, who’s twice hoisted the Claret Jug, was brought on as a player consultant shortly before last year’s Genesis Scottish Open.

TL’s Wedge for an Edge: This week, the picks will be for the Scottish Open and we’ll leave the Barbasol to the real experts! For the Scotland side, there will be a decidedly European flavor: Justin Rose, Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland and American out of Wake Forest Will Zalatoris. Reserves: Course design consultant Pradraig Harrington and Scotland’s very own Robert MacIntyre. For the Tour One and Done game? Zalatoris.
