IRVINE, 26 MAY 2026

World No.1 Nelly Korda has confirmed she will play the 2026 ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open, taking place at Dundonald Links, July 23-26.

After making her debut last year, Korda confirms her return on the back of a remarkable opening to the 2026 season whereby in her seven events played, she has won three times including the first major of the year and finished in second place three times.

At 27, the popular American star has already amassed 18 LPGA Tour wins, including three majors, a remarkable 82 top ten finishes and $19 million in career prize money.

Returning to the helm of the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, Korda will be looking to better her tied fifth place finish at Dundonald Links last year, commenting, “I am really looking forward to returning to Dundonald Links for the ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open. I really enjoyed my time there last year. With the lovely onsite accommodation, the fantastic links course, the welcoming Scottish crowds and getting to compete against a world-class field, I think it is the perfect preparation for Royal Lytham.”

With defending champion, Lottie Woad, already confirmed her place in the line-up alongside top ranked Brit Charley Hull and leading Scot, Gemma Dryburgh, a three-time winner of the Jock MacVicar Leading Scot award (2022, 2023, 2025), the ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open field is set to be as strong as ever.

The Scottish Government and VisitScotland remain long-standing supporters of women’s golf and recently announced a new funding agreement for the ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open, providing investment to help support the growth and profile of the tournament over the next three years through to 2028.

The 2026 tournament returns to Dundonald Links following a record-breaking event, which welcomed more than 11,000 spectators across the week. This year’s edition will also be the only LPGA Tour event staged in Scotland.

The 2026 ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open marks the third year with ISPS HANDA as title sponsor and the fifth consecutive year the tournament has been held at Dundonald Links. The event returned to the Ayrshire venue in 2022 following a multi-million-pound redevelopment that transformed the Verde Resorts venue into one of the UK’s finest golf resorts. Dundonald Links also previously hosted the championship in 2015, 2016 and 2017.
