Law’s addition to the field came less than 24 hours after he’d secured a spot in the 150th Open at St Andrews next week through finishing joint-fourth in the Phoenix Irish Open at Mount Juliet.

The Aberdonian will be making his fourth successive Scottish Open appearance, having opened with two 67s last year before finishing in a tie for 35th.

Syme will also be playing in the event for a fourth time, having made the cut in all three of his appearances so far.

Warren will be teeing uip in his 18th Scottish Open, having recorded three top-four finishes, the most recent being just tw years ago.

With 14 of the world’s top-15 players in this week’s field, it is the strongest-ever regular event on the DP World Tour, which was formerly the European Tour.

The last time a non-major, WGC, The Players or FedEx Cup Play-Off event had 14 of the top 15 was in the 2007 Wachovia Championship.
