Luke and Nicholas adopt Scotland

Aussies Shane Luke and Geoff Nicholas have qualified for the inaugural EDGA Scottish Open next month in North Berwick.

Luke and Nicholas will be two of the players with 10 players who beat it in the new 36-hole tournament for golfers with a handicap.

The event is being played on the same course at the same time as the European Tour's ASI Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club.

That means that Luke and Nicholas get the chance to play with some of the biggest stars of the men's pro game, such as Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka and Justin Thomas.

The new event on the EDGA calendar comes on the back of the groundbreaking Australian All Abilities Championship in November last year.

The 12 leading golfers at the World Rankings for Golfers with Disability (WR4GD) played three league rounds at the Lakes Golf Club at the same time as the Emirates Australian Open.

Keith Pelley, CEO of the European Tour, has worked closely with EDGA to offer more opportunities to all golfers, with the vision of making a separate world tour

"This event in Scotland is a turning point, as we are working with EDGA on our ambitious goal of a & # 39; Golfers with Disabilities World Tour & # 39; in 2021, & Pelba."

Scoring and event coverage for the EDGA Scottish Open will be integrated via the European Tour website and European Tour App.
