This year, the competition at Hills was decided in August. The new position in the game program means that Scandinavian Invitation will be decided the week before the season's third major, the US Open at Winged Foot outside New York.
It has been speculated in the past that Scandinavian Invitation may have a new format where men and women compete against each other, but if the change becomes reality next year is unclear. It is also not clear on what course the competition will be played.
