Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles

The Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles is a golf tournament that was played on the European Tour 14 times in the early 21st century. The tournament was discontinued after it was skipped in 2014 so that the host facility could play host to the Ryder Cup instead.

Paul Casey, winner in 2001 and 2006, was the tournament's only double champion. Casey's first win here was also his first ever on the European Tour. Adam Scott won by 10 strokes in 2002, the event's margin-of-victory record, and also established the record for youngest winner at age 22.

The 72-hole scoring record is 262, set by Scott and 2002. Martin Erlandsson's 62 in 2009 is the 18-hole tournament record. ... This tournament is not to be confused with the Johnnie Walker Classic, a different European Tour event.
