 [June 24, 2022] Golfers
on the LIV Golf Invitational Series will not be permitted to compete
next month at the Scottish Open, according to a report by the
(London) Telegraph on Thursday.
The July 7-10 event at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick,
Scotland, is a key warmup for the Open Championship, scheduled for
July 14-17 at St. Andrews Links' Old Course.
The reported move by the Scottish Open is not a surprise given the
fact that the tournament will be co-sanctioned for the initial time
by both the DP World Tour (formerly known as the European Tour) and
the PGA Tour.

The PGA Tour has suspended all members who have
defected for the Saudi-backed LIV circuit, which will make its
U.S.-based debut June 30 to July 2 at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in
North Plains, Ore.
The list of LIV players includes Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed,
Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson, Kevin Na, Talor
Gooch, Spain's Sergio Garcia, South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen and
Charl Schwartzel and England's Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter.
