There will now be a pre-qualifying round at Fraserburgh on Tuesday 24 May for non-exempt players. For the first time this pilot will decide a minimum of 30 qualifying places into the Scottish Men’s Open at Cruden Bay by means of an 18-hole stroke play pre-qualifying round.
Scottish Golf would like to encourage all eligible players to embrace this exciting opportunity which creates a more transparent and accessible route for golfers to qualify for the Scottish Men’s Open.

The new event will see qualifying events take place throughout the summer months at some of Scotland’s most stellar courses. Competitors will get the opportunity to experience exactly what it feels like to play in a National Championship, enjoy some hospitality and be in with a chance of winning some great prizes and qualifying for the Grand Final.
"It’s been hugely positive to see participation numbers increasing across all golfer types over the past two years and I hope the new Open Series and Men’s Open Pre-Qualifying will make our events even more attractive, accessible, and inclusive going forward.
It’s extremely important our National Championships not only cater for golfers of all ages and abilities, but also continue to adapt and evolve to support increasing entry numbers and the different ways our customers consume their golf. I hope this year’s offering will provide more players the opportunity to compete on the national stage and experience some of the country’s best courses and hospitality along the way.
We hope our events continue to be a great platform for host venues to showcase themselves to as wide an audience as possible. These events wouldn’t be the success they are without the cooperation and generosity of our host clubs, and we are grateful to them for their continued support"
