This week, the Scottish Open is taking place in Edinburgh, featuring an outstanding array of competitors.

In 2023, Gary Wilson emerged as the champion for the second consecutive year, overcoming Noppon Saengkham 9-5 in the championship match.

Aiming for a third straight title this month, Wilson is set to face tough challengers, including Scotland’s John Higgins and snooker icon Ronnie O’Sullivan, along with other notable contenders.

O’Sullivan, also known as “The Rocket,” seeks to overcome his recent struggles and clinch the prestigious Stephen Hendry trophy for the first time in 24 years.

It’s worth noting that Judd Trump will not be participating, taking a pause after his incredible UK Championship win, while Mark Williams has also chosen to sit this one out.

The Scottish Open is the second-to-last event in the Home Nations Series for the current season, with only the Welsh Open left following the conclusion of the Edinburgh competition.
