The Genesis Scottish Open will be played at The Renaissance Club through to 2030, with the East Lothian venue preparing to host the Rolex Series event for the eighth consecutive season from July 9-12, 2026.
Founded in 2008, The Renaissance Club nestles on 300 picturesque acres along the Firth of Forth and is one of the newest additions to the world-famous stretch known as Scotland’s Golf Coast.
The Genesis Scottish Open has reached new heights since finding its home at The Renaissance Club in 2019, with development of the Championship Course and an increased fan experience – including the Fringe by the Tee stage in the Fan Zone and The Stadium hole, now rebranded as The Thistle, contributing to record crowds, including a weekend sellout in 2025.
This season, the Championship layout will be rerouted to build an exciting closing stretch for both players and fans. At the heart of the changes, the fan-favourite par 3 sixth hole The Thistle now becomes the 15th hole.
Scotland’s national open is co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour and PGA TOUR, counting on both the Race to Dubai Rankings delivered by DP World and the FedExCup, and boasts Genesis as title partner – with the luxury automotive brand from South Korea last year also committing to the event through to 2030.
The Genesis Scottish Open also benefits from the continued commitment of the Scottish Government and VisitScotland through to 2028.
Rory Colville, Genesis Scottish Open Championship Director, said: “The Renaissance Club has been a fantastic host venue for the Genesis Scottish Open over the past eight years and we are delighted to be able to call it our home through to 2030.
“The venue has grown and developed with the event in that time, and John and Jerry Sarvadi and their team have really been committed to providing a world-class experience for everyone on site – with the latest changes to the championship course routing just the latest part of that evolution.”
John Sarvadi, The Renaissance Club CEO, said: “We at The Renaissance Club are thrilled to extend our role as host venue for the Genesis Scottish Open, an event that has firmly established itself as one of the premier tournaments in world golf. The strength of field continues to rank among the very best each year, with the calibre of the event reflected in recent champions including major winners such as Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele, alongside outstanding talents like Min Woo Lee, Bob MacIntyre, and Chris Gotterup. We are pleased to continue our collaboration with Genesis in working with the DP World Tour, the PGA TOUR, and our other valued partners to further grow and enhance this world-class event through 2030.”
The Renaissance Club is once again set to welcome a stellar field this summer, with the last three winners all returning to chase further Genesis Scottish Open glory – defending champion and World Number 11 Chris Gotterup, home hero and 2024 winner Robert MacIntyre, and his European Ryder Cup team mate, back-to-back Masters champion Rory McIlroy, who triumphed in Scotland in 2023.
Genesis is title partner of two tournaments on the 2026 Race to Dubai, with the Genesis Championship in Korea rounding out the Back 9 in October, as well as two tournaments on the PGA TOUR’s 2026 schedule, with the Genesis Scottish Open following the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club, which ended with an impressive breakout win for American Jacob Bridgeman.
The fan experience at the Genesis Scottish Open includes the Fringe by the Tee pop-up stage, in conjunction with the Fringe by the Sea festival, with The Feeling and Toploader already confirmed as the Friday and Saturday headline acts, and more to be announced soon.
