The LIV Golfers are missing at this week's Genesis Scottish Open, which begins on Thursday, July 13, at Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland.
Although the deal was announced between the rivals PIF, PGA Tour, and DP World Tour last month, players are yet to be allowed to play on the American and European Tour.
For the uninitiated, players who joined the Saudi-backed circuit were banned from competing on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour last year. The LIV players had filed a lawsuit against the DP World Tour's decision, but the judgment came against them in April.

After losing the case, several golfers, such as Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter, and Lee Westwood, gave up their European Tour memberships. The breakaway league players were also asked to pay the imposed fine to the European Tour for playing on the rival circuit.
Despite the deal between the three, the remaining seasons of all three tours will go as planned, and LIV players will strictly compete at their events and in the four majors.
Presently, LIV-associated golfers can compete in the 14 events scheduled under LIV Golf. They are also allowed to play on the Asian Tour and in the four majors if they are exempted.
Among the LIV golfers, Westwood (1998), Phil Mickelson (2013), and Bernd Wiesberger (2019) are three names who have triumphed at the Scottish Open in the past.

16 of the LIV Golf-associated golfers have received an exemption to play at the upcoming Open Championship that will take place from July 20 to July 23 at Royal Liverpool Golf Club.
The names include past champions such as Louis Oosthuizen, Phil Mickelson, Henrik Stenson, and defending champion Cameron Smith. Smith has just won the LIV Golf London, his first win this season.
