History

Historical Context

After becoming a regular LET stop in 2010 and gaining LPGA co-sanction in 2017, the ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open moved to Dundonald Links. The 2025 champion Lottie Woad underscored the course’s toughness, and the 2026 purse listed a $300,000 winner’s share, prompting the LET to consider redesign options for future tournaments.
