The Scottish Open, running July 9–13, returns to North Berwick as a Rolex Series event on both the PGA and DP World Tours. With a $9 million purse, including $1.575 million for the winner, and eight of the world’s top 10 golfers competing, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Balionis will report live on CBS from the weekend’s final two rounds, surrounded by talents like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland and defending champion Robert MacIntyre.

The event has impacted regular life at North Berwick. East Lothian Council, DP World Tour and Police Scotland have implemented road closures in villages like Aberlady, Longniddry and Dirleton, added 30‑mph limits on key routes and encouraged public transport links from Edinburgh and Longniddry station.

Free shuttle buses, numbered X5 and 124 routes, and rail service will ensure fans reach the course.
