The Trust Golf Women’s Scottish Open, one of the most prestigious events on the LPGA circuit, gets underway this week at the famed Dundonald Links in Ayrshire with the strongest field in tournament history.
The 144-woman field features eight of top-10 in the Rolex Women’s Rankings, 22 Major champions and 28 Solheim Cup players.
World No.1 Jin Young Ko headlines the field and is joined by newly-crowned Amundi Evian Championship winner Brooke Henderson alongside rising star Atthaya Thitikul and the European contingency of Georgia Hall, Charley Hull and three-time Major winner Anna Nordqvist.
Hall, who has been a long-standing supporter of the event, said: “I am really looking forward to playing in the Trust Golf Women’s Scottish Open. The next month is going to be a very busy time on the schedule, but I can’t wait to kick off the two Scottish events at Dundonald Links next week. I love the challenges of links golf, and last time we played here in 2017 I finished in the top-10 so I am excited to see how the club and course has changed over the last few years.”
In her 11th season on the LPGA Tour, and her 228th start, Ryan O’Toole claimed victory at the 2021 Trust Golf Women’s Scottish Open. The American secured the title courtesy of a final round bogey-free 64, three shots clear of Lydia Ko and Atthaya Thitikul. The 35-year-old returns to defend this week.
Dundonald Links plays host to the Women’s Scottish Open for the fourth time and the first since Mi Hyang Lee tasted success in 2017. Georgia Hall, Minjee Lee and Carlota Ciganda, who all finished inside the top-10, are present in the field this week.
The Kyle Phillips design is a modern yet deceivingly tricky links course; with many ‘upturned’ greens emphasis will be on iron play and missing in the correct places. After a two-year Covid-19 inflicted hiatus, fans will be welcomed back to the Trust Golf Women’s Scottish Open for the first time since 2019 and there is no better place for it than one of the best courses in Scotland.
