The Freed Group Women’s Scottish Open, presented by Trust Golf and co-sanctioned by the LPGA and LET, is teeing off Thursday, August 3rd, and will continue until August 6th. After their France tour for the Amundi Evian Championship, the LPGA Tour is now traveling to Scotland for their latest event. The Dundonald Links in Ayrshire will be hosting the tournament, just like it did last year.

Despite following a major event, this tournament has quite the field capacity, with a total of 144 players who are promisingly supposed to join, and would be competing for a hefty purse.

But this year we are likely to witness fresh faces swinging their clubs and competing for the hefty prize pool. Let’s take a look at the possible power rankings and what’s at stake at this coveted tournament.
