HULL AND KORDA RETURN FOR 2026
May 26, 2026
England’s Charley Hull, who reached a career high ranking of No.3 on the Rolex Rankings in February, the highest ever achieved by a British player, has confirmed she will play at the 2026 ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open taking place at Dundonald Links, July 23-26.
Having recently celebrated her 30th birthday, Hull is currently ranked No.7, and has already been in the winner’s circle this year, winning the PIF Saudi Ladies International in February.
This will be Hull’s 10th appearance in the ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open which she has played consecutively since 2017, making every cut with her best finish being 5th place which she achieved in both 2021 and 2024.
One of the most popular golfers on Tour, Hull commented, “I always look forward to the summer when the Tour arrives in the UK and I think the ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open is the perfect week for me to get my head into playing links golf. It’s always a pleasure to play in front of the super knowledgeable Scottish crowds and I really enjoy staying on site at Dundonald in their luxury apartments. Everything is super easy and we are looked after so well that I think it is the perfect tournament to play ahead of the AIG Women’s Open. I will try my best to make it 10th time lucky this year!”
World No.1 Nelly Korda has confirmed she will play the 2026 ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open.
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 having confirmed her place in the line-up alongside 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.
