The fans need to wait just one more day for the event in Scotland to come to a close! The 2024 ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open saw a scintillating three days of play as the field of golfers duked it out at Dundonald Links. However, as is the case with every tournament, only one golfer will be able to rake in the title of champion. And with it, a winner’s cut of the total prize purse!
The LPGA Tour event, over the three days of play, has witnessed the likes of Olympic gold medalist Lydia Ko, Lauren Coughlin, and Megan Khang, among others, dishing out an amazing display of skill. But the winner’s cut of $300,000 from the total prize pool of $2 million, per Golf Monthly. The runner-up, meanwhile, will be awarded a figure of $188,651.

That’s not all. The victor at the 2024 ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open will also be awarded Rolex points. This will surely be a great help to the golfers who are aiming to climb their way through the world rankings. And the likes of Lydia Ko will also be looking to achieve the same through a victory at the LPGA Tour event!
Lydia Ko hopes to win the 2024 ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open
“It’s nice to kind of play your way into a major championship,” divulged the Kiwi while alluding to the current tournament and the one that will follow it, the 2024 AIG Women’s Open. She also expressed hope at finishing well at the ongoing contest while revealing her plans for the final day; “Just hit a couple balls and a few putts. Just kind of get out of the cold.”
But for the New Zealand golfer to come out victorious, the athlete would need to beat the likes of Lauren Coughlin, the American pro who is currently at T1. She boasts a score of 12-under, a stroke less than Megan Khang at T2. Coughlin, over the three days of play, has carded a figure of 69-69-66, while Ko has just carded a 69-69-71. Anyhow, she will need to step up her game if she is to come out lifting the trophy!
