McIlroy welcomes Rahm, loaded Scottish Open field: Golf roundup

Rory McIlroy, the reigning Masters champion, is preparing for the Scottish Open at Renaissance Club in North Berwick, where he previously won in 2023 before also claiming that year's Open Championship. McIlroy spent the past seven weeks in Europe resting and scouting venues, including a visit to Royal Birkdale — the site of next week's Open Championship — alongside Nick Faldo. Jon Rahm is among the notable names joining McIlroy in what is described as a loaded Scottish Open field beginning Thursday.
