Michael Kim continues his PGA Tour season at the Scottish Open this week, with hopes of playing The Open Championship right after.

Kim just missed the cut at the John Deere Classic, the most recent tournament in the PGA Tour schedule.

The event was won by Brian Campbell, who battled past Emiliano Grillo in a playoff at TPC Deere Run on Sunday.

Both players finished on 18-under to force a playoff, while one-time PGA Tour winner Kim missed the cut on three-under.

Kim won the tournament back in 2018, but now turns his attention to the Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club.

At The Masters, Kim finished T27, and followed that up with T55 and T50 places at the PGA Championship and US Open respectively.

A place at The Open is now on his agenda, with Kim among the players looking to fine-tune their games for the major in Scotland this week.

World top three Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele are also taking on the Scottish Open, which was won by home favourite Robert MacIntyre in 2024.
