Fraser Munro, Head of Events at Scottish Golf said: It’s been hugely positive to see participation numbers increasing across all golfer types over the past few years. The new PING Scottish Open Series will help make our events even more attractive, accessible, and inclusive going forward. It’s extremely important our National Championships not only cater for golfers of all ages and abilities but continue to adapt and evolve to support increasing player numbers and the different ways our customers consume their golf.
The PING Open Series will offer nearly 1,000 golfers the chance to compete across the six qualifiers. The event will allow players the chance to sample some fantastic golf courses and entry for each includes hospitality before and after golf. All finalists will win a round at Trump International, Aberdeen and be treated to an overnight stay at the Village Hotel Aberdeen and gala dinner after the final.
