Is the Women's Scottish Open the most underrated event in golf? Let's hear your thoughts!

Two Tours, one epic battle! The LPGA will once again be joining the Ladies European Tour to host the ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open. The 156-player field is scheduled from August 15 to August 18 at the Dundonald Links in Scotland. The 2024 edition has a total of 36 Olympians, 5 top-10 players, 18 major winners, 46 LPGA winners who have a total of 177 titles, and 22 Solheim Cup players with 53 appearances.

Last year, Celine Boutier defeated South Korea’s Hyo Joo Kim with a two-shot victory. She carded consecutive LPGA Tour victories and was on a winning spree. The French national even entered the Women’s Scottish Open with a home major victory at the Evian Championship just a week ago. The six-time LPGA Tour winner will be looking forward to defending her title this year, and the competition is going to be insane. You can catch the action live from Scotland or enjoy the thrilling moments from the comfort of your home. Here’s how you can do it!

Have an interesting take?

To amp up the golf madness to another level, the Championship will be held alongside four other events: the FedEx St. Jude Championship (PGA Tour), the US Amateur Championship (USGA), the D+D Real Czech Masters (DP World Tour), and the Rogers Charity Classic (PGA Tour Champions). So, what will make the Scottish Open more interesting?

The Scottish Women’s Open has a purse of a whopping $2 million. It has pretty much remained the same since 2001, when it increased by 33% from last year’s share. Until 2020, it was $1.5 million. The winner will take home the highest share of the total purse money.

Last year, Celine Boutier took home $300,000 along with the winning trophy. The winner’s share remains the same this year. The player who bags the second position will take home $167,000, which is close to just half of what the winner takes home. Who do you think will lift the trophy this year?
