“He skipped last year because of the Olympics,” mentioned one fan.
“Good to see him play more links golf see how he does,” commented one fan.
“Scottie the kid,” said one fan.
“Get in! I want to see a Rory v Scottie v Bobby Mac final day,” said another fan.
Scottie Scheffler spoke on his decision, sharing his excitement for the upcoming tournament.
“I’m looking forward to getting back to the Genesis Scottish Open next month,” Scheffler said, per Field Level Media via ESPN. “It’s an event and a course I enjoy playing, given we only get to play links golf a couple of times a year. Playing in such a strong field and in front of the Scottish fans is always fun for us.”
