The PGA Tour is prepared to co-sanction the 2023 Genesis Scottish Open this week, teaming up with the DP World Tour for a field of 156 golfers competing at the iconic Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland. We get to see eight of the world’s top 10 ranked golfers attempt to navigate the links course, headlined by World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
Renaissance Club is a par 70 that contains three par 3s and three par 5s, relying on the coastal winds to serve as the biggest hazard against players this week. Greens are much bigger in surface area, comprised of fescue grass, which only runs 11.5 feet via Stimpmeter. The signature deep-walled sand bunkers and tall fescue in the two-and-a-half-inch rough create a much different, albeit challenging, course compared to recent events played on the PGA Tour.
