The 2021 Scottish Open is the 19th event of the season while first in Scotland. This year the tournament has a special spotlight on it since players like Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Tommy Fleetwood, and many other prominent players are a part of the field. Jon Rahm is playing in the Scottish Open for the first time in his career.
The total prize money for the 2021 Scottish Open is $8,000,000. And it is the standard 16.67% payout according to the European Tour’s prize money distribution chart. So the entire field is competing to get the highest share from the total purse of $8 million.
