The 2020 Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open will be played behind closed doors at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick from August 13-16.

The event will mark the return of professional women’s golf to Scotland for the first time since Europe’s remarkable triumph in the 2019 Solheim Cup last September.

The tournament is set to go ahead without spectators as a made for TV event, fully adhering to internationally recognised COVID-19 protocol and subject to necessary formal approvals of athlete quarantine exemptions.

The decision to move forward with the event has been taken only once organisers and stakeholders could ensure delivery of an event with all relevant safeguarding and protocols in place.

Fans will be able to watch the Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open on Sky Sports and the Golf Channel, with enhanced content on its digital channels, www.ladiesscottishopen.com, @LadiesScottish #ASILSO #RuleTheLinks.
