Jon Rahm calls the Genesis Scottish Open a strong Open tuneup, not a special reunion.

Rahm is one of seven LIV Golf players in the co-sanctioned PGA Tour and DP World Tour field at The Renaissance Club. He said the mixed tee sheet does not make the week feel different.

Rahm said the Scottish Open helps prepare players for links golf at The Open because it brings weather, fescue and a world-class field one week before Royal Birkdale.
