While names such as Rory McIlroy, Tyrrell Hatton, Tom Kim, Scottie Scheffler, Max Homa and Rickie Fowler are residing at or near the top of the leaderboard at the Genesis Scottish Open, there are several big names leaving The Renaissance Club early this week.
Adam Scott, for example, opened with a 2-over 72 on Thursday and dug himself too big of a hole. A second-round 3-under 67 wasn’t enough, and the Aussie is headed to Royal Liverpool a few days early.
Seventy-seven players made the weekend, with the cut coming in at 2-under 138.
Here are seven big-name players who missed the weekend at the 2023 Genesis Scottish Open.

It’s been an up-and-down month for the Aussie. After tying for ninth at the Memorial, Scott missed the cut at the U.S. Open. A week later, he tied for 19th at the Travelers Championship, but he’s once again headed home early after rounds of 72-67.
