Seven of World’s Top 10 Confirmed for 2026 ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open

This year’s ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open is set to have the strongest field in the tournament’s history with seven of the world’s top ten players already confirmed to head to Dundonald Links.

World No.1 Nelly Korda, 2025 champion and World No.4 Lottie Woad and World No.5 Charley Hull were previously confirmed but they are now joined by World No. 3 Hyo Joo Kim, World No.8 Miyu Yamashita, World No.10 Sei Young Kim.

Collectively, these confirmed top ten players have amassed 56 LPGA Tour victories, including 8 major championships, underlining the extraordinary strength of the field for this year’s championship.

Reigning AIG Women’s Open Champion Miyu Yamashita will make her second appearance at the ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open this year, following an impressive debut in 2025 where she finished T10, just one week before going on to claim victory at Royal Porthcawl. Each of the last five AIG Women’s Open champions competed in the Women’s Scottish Open the week prior to their Major victory, highlighting the event’s key role as vital preparation for the final Major of the year.

Yamashita said: “I am really looking forward to being back at Dundonald Links this year for the ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open. Last year was a great experience and the players were so well looked after. It proved to be the perfect preparation ahead of the AIG Women’s Open, so I’m excited to use it in the same way again before I defend my title next month.”

Further strengthening the field that will head to Dundonald Links later this month is Korea’s Hyo Joo Kim who claimed back-to-back Tour titles at the Fortinet Founders Cup and the Ford Championship, both times narrowly edging out World No.1 Nelly Korda.

Australia’s Hannah Green also enjoyed a strong start to the season, winning four times on the LPGA Tour and the Ladies European Tour between early March and mid-April.

Dr. Haruhisa Handa, ISPS Founder and Chairman commented: “ISPS HANDA are thrilled that eight of the world’s top 10 players have already committed to competing in the 2026 ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open, reinforcing its status as one of the strongest fields outside the majors. It is inspiring to see the world’s best players continue to support this event and we look forward to welcoming them for another year in Scotland.”

The ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open takes place from 23-26 July at Dundonald Links. Head to our ticketing page to secure your spot now.
