Rory McIlroy from Northern Ireland was crowned the 2023 Genesis Scottish Open champion after four days of exciting competition at the Renaissance Club in East Lothian, Scotland. McIlroy’s 15-under par was one shot ahead of his nearest challenger, Scotsman Robert MacIntyre, taking home US $1.62 million and an Electrified GV70.
Rolex Series title of the year.
"To play that back nine in four under par to win the tournament, I'm really proud of how I just stuck in there.
"It's nice to have the validation. It's great racking up top fives and top 10s, but it's much nicer heading away with a trophy on a Sunday afternoon.
"It's been a long six months since I won in Dubai. I've given myself tons of chances and hopefully this win breaks the seal for me, especially going into next week as well.
To elevate the overall tournament experience for all spectators, Genesis made several enhancements to the fan experience in the Championship Village, and a Mobile Lounge that offered test drives to select Genesis models.
Genesis Concierge in the Player’s Lounge to ensure their families were well taken care of. The Players & Caddies Café was upgraded to provide a variety of snacks and refreshments with Korean items available as an added touch.
“The national titles I feel are pretty big deals, especially when you look at the trophy and see the list of winners that have gotten their name on them,” said McIlroy, who has also won the Canadian, US and Australian Opens. “So it’s nice to add my name to this one now.”
McIlroy did, in fact, win "a wee bit more," $1.575 million to be exact. And to be more exact, it sounds like the fan then responded with "Let me buy you a pint!" instead of "I'm happy for ya, mate!" as the caption says. Rory probably should have accepted, because after how Sunday ended he won't be too popular in any Scottish pubs for a while.
