The tournament format is similar to the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-am, with a cut for the top 60 pros and top 20 teams based on 54 holes played. St. Andrews expects increased visitors this week, with local hotels and pubs preparing for a busy event. Mild weather is forecasted, a contrast to delays caused by high winds last year.
