In 2022, Xander Schauffele added his name to the storied list of champions, showcasing a steely resolve under pressure. His clinical win was a masterclass in focus, accuracy, and mental strength. Just a year earlier, Min Woo Lee surged to victory in a nail-biting playoff, proving that fresh faces could dominate even the most seasoned field.
But the brilliance stretches back further. The tournament has hosted multiple icons whose legacies remain unmatched:
• Ernie Els, whose swing remains a textbook model for aspiring pros
• Luke Donald, praised for his iron precision and quiet dominance
• Phil Mickelson, who turned heads in 2013 by winning both the Scottish Open and The Open in back-to-back weeks
