Solheim Cup Georgia Hall and Charley Hull headline a strong English contingent in action, with five Scots also in the field on home soil, with the tournament offering players one final opportunity to test themselves on links golf ahead of the AIG Women's Open the following week.
The final women's major of the year will see Germany's Sophia Popov return to defend her title after a surprise victory at Carnoustie in 2020, with the also holding extra significance in the race to qualify for the European Solheim Cup team.
