It's The Ladies' Turn to Tackle The Links. Everything You Need to Know Ahead of the Women's Scottish Open.

Final prep for the last major of the season begins with a quick trip to Scotland for the Women's Scottish Open—here's how you can follow along.

Wishing we had more links golf to watch? Well you're in luck. It was a story bookending for Scottie Scheffler in Ireland, but now it's the LPGA and LET's turn to take a swing at links golf and hopefully more magic will ensue as the world’s best player get ready to compete in the country where the game of golf has its roots.

The Women's Scottish Open serves as the final test ahead of the AIG Women's Open, the final major of the 2025 season, but also allows players to get acclimated to the challenges that come with links golf.

Returning to Dundonald Links, 144 players will go head to head for a ashare of a $2 million purse, all while battling the Scottish elements—which the ladies Tours have coined "The True Test".

Who's in the Field?

It's a special week for Ms. Lottie Woad, who's set to make her professional debut this week. After a more than remarkable showing at Evian, the 21 year old earned her LPGA membership and made quick work to accept her status for the 2025 season.

Nelly Korda will make her first appearance at Dundonald Links this week. The world No. 1 is 11/11 on made cuts and has four top-10 finishes, including a runner up finish at the U.S. Women's Open. At the most recent major, Evian, Korda finished T43. Maybe this week will be the proper tune up she's looking for to prepare her for a massive showing at AIG.

Evian Champion Grace Kim will also tee it up, as well as Charley Hull, who returns to competition after a scary early exit from Evian. The English golfer suffered from a virus but looks to be back in form at Dundonald.

Another notable name in the field this week is the tenured American golfer Lauren Coughlin, and defending Women's Scottish Open champion. The 32 year old captured her second LPGA title last season—her second win in just three starts.

Coughlin has missed the last three major cuts, so hopefully she can rekindle some of that fire she had one year ago and get into form ahead of next week. In her pre-tournament presser, she touched what it is like coming back to the tournament she won last year.

"I was thinking about [returning as defending champion] a little bit coming into this week, just being like the first time doing it. New feels and all that kind of stuff," Coughlin said. "But I feel like I'm trying to just do a really good job of just get ready for this week and really focusing on this week and doing what I need to do to play well again this year."
