Despite the excitement surrounding the tournament, a few famous names have decided to skip this year's Genesis Scottish Open. Here are four notable personalities who will not be competing:

1. Jon Rahm

Jon Rahm has decided to take a well-deserved break after his stunning victory at the US Open. Rahm became one of only four players to win both the Masters and the US Open, despite trailing by multiple strokes going into the final round.

With his win, he also reclaimed the top spot in the official world golf rankings. Rahm cemented his place among the golfing legends with his unrivaled performance.

Cameron Smith is one of the big names missing the Genesis Scottish Open. He joins a long list of golfers like Dustin Johnson and Patrick Reed, who can't play the Sottish event due to their tie-up with LIV Golf.

3. Will Zalatoris

World No.13 Will Zalatoris is another big name missing from the Genesis Scottish Open 2023 field. The golfer, who's spent most of the year rehabbing from injuries, continues to stay out.

4. Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods is once again the biggest name missing from a PGA Tour event field. The legendary golfer, currently in rehab, remains out of regular events. He is only expected to return to play later this year.
