Skene House HotelSuites, Aberdeen, 24 June 2014 - Sir Nick Faldo, the most successful British golfer in history, will return to the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open for the first time in five years when he takes his place in the world-class field at Royal Aberdeen Golf Club, from July 10-13.
The six-time Major Champion, now spotted more often in the commentary box than on the fairways, will make a rare appearance on The European Tour the week before he plays in The Open Championship at Royal Liverpool Golf Club.
He joins a cast of fellow Major winners including Darren Clarke, Paul Lawrie, José María Olázabal, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson, the defending champion.
“I’m really looking forward to playing at Royal Aberdeen,” said the 56 year old. “The Scottish Open was always one of the leading tournaments on The European Tour in my playing days and I think you can see by strength of the field we have in July that it remains so.
“I’ve always enjoyed playing in Scotland and I am particularly looking forward to the test that Royal Aberdeen will present. I think it is important for me to play in a big event like this before heading to The Open.”
