Tom Kim ended a three-year title drought with a bogey‑free final‑round 64 to win the Scottish Open at 17 under, securing a two‑shot victory over Min Woo Lee. The 24‑year‑old overcame recent struggles with confidence and form, crediting support from Tiger Woods as he returned to winning ways and earned a place in next year’s Masters. Bob MacIntyre, Matt Fitzpatrick and other contenders fell back as Kim produced decisive birdies, notably at the 16th. Rory McIlroy matched Kim’s round but could not recover from an earlier deficit and heads to the Open Championship seeking improvements.

Fog delays left the third round of the Genesis Scottish Open unfinished, with Matt Fitzpatrick sharing the lead at 11 under after an early run of birdies. Johnny Keefer set the clubhouse target at 10 under, while several contenders remained on course overnight. Rory McIlroy fell five shots back after three bogeys in eight holes. Play is set to resume Sunday morning.

Jon Rahm returns to PGA Tour competition at the 2026 Genesis Scottish Open amid uncertainty surrounding LIV Golf’s future, joining a strong field that includes Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and defending champion Chris Gotterup. The tournament features a revised course routing aimed at creating a more dramatic finish, supported by players like Viktor Hovland. Several top contenders, including recent major winners and home favourite Robert MacIntyre, prepare for The Open the following week, with three qualification spots available. Favorable weather is forecast as players look to capitalise on benign conditions.
