BARCLAYS END SPONSORSHIP OF SCOTTISH OPEN

The European Tour is looking for a new sponsor for the Scottish Open following Barclays' decision not to renew its sponsorship of the tournament which was played for the first time at Castle Stuart this year after a long association with Loch Lomond.
The European Tour says the 30th Scottish Open will keep its prime July date in the week preceding the Open Championship.
Tim Peat, Managing Director, Barclays Capital, said: “Barclays has been proud to be the title sponsor of the Scottish Open for the last decade. We made our decision reluctantly based on current market factors.
"Through our sponsorship of Phil Mickelson, The Barclays (tournament) in the USA and The Barclays Singapore Open, an event co-sanctioned by The European Tour, we will continue to have a significant presence in professional golf.”
