Scottish Open: 8 Top-10 Players in the Field; Which PGA Tour Stars are Missing
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Genesis Scottish Open is the next stop on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour calendars, and once again serves as a prelude to The Open Championship, the season's major finale. As has been the case in recent years, the Renaissance Club will host most of the world's top players on their way to play at Royal Portrush a week later. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler leads a very strong field that includes eight members of the world's top 10. In fact, according to the Nosferatu X account, which covers movements in the Official World Golf Ranking, this will be the second-strongest field of the year, surpassed only by The Players Championship. The world top 10 players who will join Scheffler in Scotland are Rory McIlroy (2), Xander Schauffele (3), Justin Thomas (4), Collin Morikawa (5), who just landed a new caddie, JJ Spaun (8), Ludvig Aberg (9), and Sepp Straka (10). The absences from this group? Russell Henley (6) and Keegan Bradley (7). Henley decided to skip the Scottish Open after finishing in three top-10s at as many events in June. Bradley, meanwhile, played four tournaments in June, with one win and one top-10 finish, which undoubtedly influenced his decision to take this week off. Scottie Scheffler of the United States plays a shot on the 15th hole during the final round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 22, 2025 in Cromwell, Connecticut. Scottie Scheffler of the United States plays a shot on the 15th hole during the final round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 22, 2025 in Cromwell, top PGA Tour Stars Skipping the Scottish Open The field will feature nine other members of the top 25 in the world rankings, most notably Viktor Hovland, defending champion Robert MacIntyre, Tommy Fleetwood, and Justin Rose. However, other important names in world golf will be absent from The Renaissance. A notable example is Jordan Spieth, who is recovering from a right scap injury. Shane Lowry and Hideki Matsuyama will also be missing the Scottish Open, likely because they haven't had the best of luck in past editions of the event and prefer to go directly to the Open Championship. A different case is Min Woo Lee, who won there in 2021 but still decided to skip this week. Two of the PGA Tour's fan favorites, Max Homa and Rickie Fowler, will also not be in the Genesis Scottish Open field. Both played the past three weeks in-a-row, which probably led them to take this week off. More Golf: John Daly Toasts 'Bonus Daughter' as Love Life with Anna Cladakis Thrives

Collin Morikawa Lands Major-Winning Caddie for Open Championship
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Just weeks after clashing with a reporter over speculation about his caddie situation, Collin Morikawa has finally landed on a major-winning name for his bag. The 2-time major champion, who publicly called out Golfweek's Adam Schupak during a tense press conference at the Rocket Classic, had said then, "It's a process for me to find [a caddie] because I only know one way." That process now appears to have joined him with one of the most respected loopers in the game, Billy Foster.

DETROIT, MICHIGAN - JUNE 25: Collin Morikawa of the United States during a Pro-Am prior to the Rocket Classic 2025 at Detroit Golf Club on June 25, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan. (Photo by) More Getty Images Foster has a strong record, having caddied for Matt Fitzpatrick during his 2022 U.S. Open win. The news was first confirmed by and later backed by footage shared by the DP World Tour, showing Morikawa and Foster working together on the range ahead of this week's Genesis Scottish Open. Collin Morikawa and Billy Foster teaming up in Scotland 🤝#GenesisScottishOpen | #RolexSeries — DP World Tour (@DPWorldTour) July 7, 2025 The duo will also team up for next week's Open Championship at Royal Portrush, where Morikawa will chase his second Claret Jug. Morikawa's move to work alongside a major-winning caddie comes after a turbulent stretch of experiments with several bagmen. The process started when Morikawa parted ways with longtime caddie J.J. Jakovac in April after a six-year partnership that included all six of his PGA Tour wins. The Southern California native then partnered with Joe Greiner, Max Homa's former caddie but that pairing lasted just five events. "Joe is an amazing caddie," Morikawa said at the Rocket Classic, "but the way we kind of saw things... we were just a little bit on a different page." Next, the 28-year-old turned to former college teammate KK Limbhasut for a one-off loop in Detroit, where he finished T-8. Collin Morikawa's recent performances Over the last few months, Morikawa's constant instability with his caddies raised questions about whether it was affecting his form on the course. While he's made 13 of 14 cuts this season, he's still searching for his first win since the 2023 Zozo Championship. Morikawa's best finishes in 2025 came during The Sentry and Arnold Palmer Invitational with a pair of solo seconds. He logged a solid T14 at Augusta National, T50 at the PGA Championship and T23 at the U.S Open. Now, with Foster, who has caddy records with Seve Ballesteros, Darren Clarke, Matt Fitzpatrick, Lee Westwood,....Morikawa gains not just experience, but a proven major-winning presence just before the Open Championship.
