Jon Rahm kommer att tävla i Scottish Open för första gången sedan 2022. Beslutet kommer efter att ändringar i LIV Golf-schemat skapat en lucka i hans kalender.
Rahm nådde en överenskommelse med DP World Tour om att behålla sitt medlemskap genom att spela fem tävlingar i år. Scottish Open, som är sanktionerad av både PGA Tour och DP World Tour, blev den femte tävlingen efter att DP World Tour valt ut den för att uppfylla kravet.
