Rory McIlroy discusses Jon Rahm's participation in Scottish Open

Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm will compete at the Scottish Open starting July 8, 2026. Rahm, a LIV Golf competitor, is eligible to play due to his DP World Tour membership. McIlroy acknowledged that Rahm's presence enhances the event, though he has faced criticism for not playing in more PGA Tour events this year. This marks their first competition outside of a major since Rahm's switch to LIV Golf. The week promises competitive matchups if both players perform well.
