2026 Genesis Scottish Open Final Round Set for Sunday

Leaderboard Top Contenders

A snapshot of the field when Saturday’s play was halted shows Michael Thorbjornsen and Matt Fitzpatrick sharing the lead at –11. Thorbjornsen posted his best score after 13 holes, while Fitzpatrick finished his round after eight. Several other players are within striking distance, including Johnny Keefer, Kevin Roy, Wyndham Clark, Chris Gotterup, Min Woo Lee and Jordan Smith, all sitting at –10. Behind them sit Robert MacIntyre and Tom Kim at –9, with many more golfers still in contention for a spot among the top tier.

Sunday’s Schedule After Fog Delays

Two lengthy fog interruptions on Saturday forced the third round to be completed early Sunday morning at the Renaissance Club. Because of the weather disruption, dozens of competitors will tee off before the final round can begin, creating a marathon day for the field. The order of play will be reset once the third round concludes, ensuring all contenders have a chance to finish their scores. Players will need to manage fatigue while aiming to keep pace with the early leaders.

How to Watch and Stream

Fans can follow the action live on SiriusXM from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET for continuous coverage. The PGA Tour Live stream is available on ESPN+, giving viewers access to every hole of the final round. Alternatively, Golf Channel’s coverage can be streamed free through Fubo, providing an additional option for American audiences. Check local listings for any supplemental broadcast details as the day unfolds.

Prize Money and Benefits for the Winner

The Scottish Open boasts a $9 million purse, with the champion taking home $1.62 million. Victory also secures entry into the 2026 Open Championship, provided the player hasn’t already qualified. The tradition was expanded last year when Chris Gotterup’s win earned him an invitation to the 2027 Masters. This added perk makes the Scottish title a key stepping stone for players aiming at the majors.

Historical Winners and Rolex Series

Since joining the Rolex Series in 2017, the Scottish Open has attracted top talent and produced memorable champions. Rafa Cabrera‑Bello captured the inaugural Series event in 2017, setting a high standard for future winners. The tournament’s prestige continues to grow, offering both significant financial rewards and pathways to other major championships. As the field gathers for the final round, history could be made once again on the windswept fairways of the Renaissance Club.
