DeChambeau is the defending champion and has expressed his eagerness to win it back‑to‑back trophies. "I'm always chasing history," DeChambeau told reporters on Wednesday. "Everybody is. We're all trying to accomplish feats that haven't been done in a long time. "And going back to back would be great. Three in a row would be an even better accomplishment. So it is in the back of my head." On Friday, DeChambeau will tee off at the LIV Golf Virginia, hoping to secure one last win before the major.

Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler set for Genesis Scottish Open epic as World top 2 head for The Renaissance Club
World No.1 and No.2 booked for The Renaissance Club next month Golf giants Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are set for a spectacular Scottish head-to-head next month at The Renaissance Club. The Genesis Scottish Open is now gearing up for a potentially-epic clash between the World's No.1 and No.2 players after the American confirmed he's returning to the East Lothian showpiece. Scheffler has punched is ticket alongside 2023 champion McIlory in an elite field fighting it out at £8 million Rolex Series cracker at The Renaissance Club. The 28-year-old opted to miss the event last year in the build-up to The Open at Royal Troon. However, as he gets ready for Royal Portrush and the 153rd Championship in Northern Ireland, the three-times major winner is heading back to golf country to join McIlroy and an all-star cast. Scheffler said: 'I'm looking forward to getting back to the Genesis Scottish Open next month. "It's an event and a course I enjoy playing given we only get to play links golf a couple of times a year. Playing in such a strong field and in front of the Scottish fans is always fun for us.' Scheffler's appearance means seven of the top 10 in the Official World Golf Ranking are teeing it up in Scotland's national Open as he joins McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas, Ludvig Aberg and Sepp Straka. Defending champion Robert MacIntyre will spearhead the home challenge as he aims to go back-to-back at Renaissance after his fabulous triumph 11 months ago. Major champions Justin Rose and Matt Fitzpatrick, six-time PGA TOUR winner Max Homa and most recent Genesis Championship winner Byeong Hun An are also involved. Scheffler's win at Muirfield Village last week was his third of the season, including his third Major title at the PGA Championship, as he joined Tiger Woods as the only players to successfully defend their titles at Jack's Place. The 28-year-old returns to the Genesis Scottish Open after a tied third place finish on his last appearance at the Renaissance Club in 2023.

Scottie Scheffler, the world No 1, has joined another stellar field for this year's Genesis Scottish Open after confirming his return to The Renaissance Club in East Lothian. The three-time major winner had become a regular in the Rolex Series event before sitting out last year's edition due to the Olympics - he won a gold medal in Paris - adding to a busy summer schedule.

Cox/Getty Images It means that the current top five in the Official World Golf Ranking will be teeing it up in Scotland's Golf Coast, with Scheffler joining Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa and Justin Thomas in being announced by the organisers. In addition, two others - European Ryder Cup duo Ludvig Aberg and Sepp Straka - in the current top ten in the global standings will be among Bob MacIntyre's rivals as well as the Scot defends his title on 10-13 July. American shot 63 at The Renaissance Club in 2021 After a slowish start to his 2025 campaign, Scheffler won the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow last month before successfully defending the title in the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday at Muirfield Village last weekend.

He then missed the cut the following year before posting scores of 68-65-67-70 to secure a share of third spot behind McIlroy, who finished birdie-birdie to pip MacIntyre, in 2023. 'I'm looking forward to getting back to the Genesis Scottish Open next month,' admitted Scheffler of the only event he has played on the DP World Tour apart from the JP McManus Pro-Am in Ireland in 2022.

Robert MacIntyre returns to site of his first victory at RBC Canadian Open
After winning for the first time on the PGA Tour a year ago at the RBC Canadian Open, Robert MacIntyre hung around the clubhouse with his father, who served as his caddie that week, and several members at Hamilton Golf Club until about 11:30 at night. 'Just drinking beers and just having a good time,' he said on Tuesday during his pre-tournament press conference. 'Nothing wild.' Robert MacIntyre holds the trophy after winning the 2024 RBC Canadian Open. (Photo: Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY Sports) The 28-year-old Scot returned to the Canadian port city on the western tip of Lake Ontario Monday to play the Hamilton course with his father and a couple of members and relive some of the shots and memorable moments. A flood of fond memories hit MacIntyre, who, a month later, went on to win the Genesis Scottish Open, the tournament he wanted to win the most during his career, other than a major. Advertisement 'It's always special to come back somewhere you've got fond memories of,' he said. 'Last year was kind of a fairytale, the way I won Canada with my dad on the bag, and then winning the Scottish Open. I mean, I honestly couldn't ask for a better year unless I won a major championship.' Strangely enough, all of MacIntyre's success resulted after he was down in the dumps, having missed the cut prior to the RBC and fighting home sickness and culture shock in the U.S. Having parted ways with his fourth caddie in the last 18 months, he asked his father, Dougie, a greenkeeper back home in Oban, Scotland, 'How would you like to come to Canada and caddie for me at the RBC Canadian Open?' Dougie was busy at home at Glencruitten Golf Club, but his wife, Carol, gave him a look and said he needed to go be there for his son. Robert admitted he had asked a few others to be on the bag but no one wanted a one-week gig. 'If in doubt, phone dad,' MacIntyre said. The next morning at 8 a.m., Dougie was on a direct flight to Toronto and seven days later, they were embracing on the 18th green as Robert closed in 2-under 68 to win the 113th edition of Canada's national championship. MacIntyre became the first player to win with his father as his caddie since Heath Slocum had father Hack on the bag at the 2005 Sanderson Farms Championship. Advertisement Following up last year's twin successes hasn't been smooth sailing for MacIntyre, he conceded. This season, his short game hasn't been as sharp and his putting prowess has abandoned him, leading to a coaching change at Pebble Beach in February. He's made 12 of 14 cuts this season and recorded three top-10s, most recently at the Charles Schwab Challenge two weeks ago. 'It's been a little bit of trying to fix certain things. But now I feel like we're on the right path and the game's starting to kind of merge together,' he said. 'Starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel.' MacIntyre won't have his father on the bag this time, but his old man decided to join him North of the Border thanks to a little prodding from mom. 'Told my dad last week, 'Look, do you want to come to Canada again? You're not caddying, but you can come and have a holiday again.' Again, he's hemming and hawing about leaving his work, and my mom ended up saying, 'Look, you're 60 now. Get to Canada.' He came, and we went there yesterday, and they actually put the pin positions out for the Sunday of the Canadian Open.'
