Scottish culture secretary Fiona Hyslop described it as a “significant milestone for events in Scotland.”

“I'd like to thank the European Tour and other partners for developing plans for this pilot event to be held safely," she said, “not just for the benefit of the spectators and players, but as a way of developing and shaping best practice, ultimately providing a pathway to the safe return of events as soon as we are able.”

Revenue from ticket sales for the Oct. 1-4 event will be donated to a mental health charity in Scotland.

The tour resumed in July after a four-month suspension. (AP)
