The Scottish Open , which since 2012 of Management Aberdeen Asset sponsored, is a golf tournaments of the European Tour . It has been part of the highly endowed Rolex Series since 2017 .
The tournament takes place the week before the Open Championship , and some concerns have been raised that the Loch Lomond Golf Club course , which is very different from the Links courses at the Open , puts European tour players at a disadvantage for the major tournament that follows. The PGA Tour's leading rivals traditionally spend the same week training on links courses in Ireland . In 2006 it was proposed that the event be held on the Dundonald Links course in Ayrshire , but they were not yet prepared for a tournament of this caliber. On January 24, 2011 it was announced that the Barclays Scottish Open will be held at the Castle Stuart Golf Links in Inverness due to financial difficulties .
The Scottish Open was first held in 1972 at Downfield Golf Club near Dundee , but after the second event in 1973 at St Andrews there was a twelve-year hiatus. In 1986 the tournament reappeared on the European Tour calendar, replacing the Glasgow Open . The Scottish Open was held in its first comeback year at Haggs Castle Golf Club, after which the competition took place regularly in Gleneagles until 1994 . The tournament moved to Carnoustie for the next two years, but disappeared from the tournament calendar in 1996.
The vacated place on the European tour schedule was taken in 1997 by the Loch Lomond World Invitational, which was held a year earlier. In 2001 it was decided that the Loch Lomond event should be run as a Scottish Open and that all previous events should be counted as Scottish Open tournaments, which led to the unusual situation that the 1996 tournament had two winners.
From 1972 to 2008 the prize money increased from £ 10,000 to £ 3 million . It was reduced to 2.5 million in 2012, but increased again to three million a year later. In 2015, £ 3.25 million was played. In 2017, US $ 7 million was distributed as part of the Rolex Series .
