They will take on a world-class international field which includes three of the world’s top ten ranked players on the Rolex World Rankings, fifteen Major winners, twenty-seven Solheim Cup players and six past champions.
In all thirty-two nationalities are represented in the 144-player line-up, with a prize pot of $1.5m at stake. There are also 21 places available for those not already qualified for the AIG Women's Open.
The seven Scots are:
Carly Booth
Gemma Dryburgh
Kylie Henry
Catriona Matthew
Kelsey MacDonald
Alison Muirhead
Michelle Thomson
Scotland's No 1 Gemma Dryburgh has been handed the honour of hitting the opening shot in the AIS Ladies Scottish Open at 6.30am.
Along with the AIG Women's Open next week, the tournament is being played with no spectators and in a strict 'bio-secure' bubble.
Carly Booth, the 2012 champion, said:
“I am always excited ahead of the Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open as it’s my home event and I have the added happy memory of having won it before. Now, after so long without tournaments, it feels like an even bigger occasion, marking not only the first women’s golf events back in Scotland but I think the first professional women’s sports events to take place in the UK. It’s a really amazing field for what is a great event and I hope lots of people will enjoy the coverage and be supporting us in spirit if not in person this year!”
