Fog Forces Suspension and Marathon Sunday at 2026 Scottish Open

Thick sea‑borne fog halted the third round of the Genesis Scottish Open on July 11, 2026, after players could no longer see the landing area. Play was suspended for over two hours before being stopped completely.

Because the round could not be finished, many competitors will need to complete additional holes on Sunday, with some facing up to 28 holes in a single day. Tournament officials announced the final round will be run in threesomes to accelerate play and avoid extending the event into Monday.

Players expressed frustration over the delay, noting difficulties seeing the ball and the physical strain of a marathon Sunday. The disruption mirrors similar fog‑related issues the Scottish Open experienced in previous years.
