There’s something about returning to this part of the world that has cleared up Rory McIlroy’s post-Masters haze.

The Scottish Open will once again be held at the Renaissance Club, a course that has plenty of links-style holes but also a few that are more parkland style. The main characteristic of this course is its pot bunkers. Golfers will have to, at all costs, avoid these small but deep pot bunkers, which effectively end up being a hazard.

The PGA Tour is set to begin its first of back-to-back tournaments in Europe with the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, on Thursday. The 2025 Scottish Open will be co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour for the fourth straight year.

The Genesis Scottish Open gets under way Thursday at The Renaissance Club. Here are the tee times and groupings for the opening round in North Berwick, Scotland ( click here for Round 2 tee times).
