Richie Ramsay, Kevin Streelman and Hiroshi Iwata have been added to next week's Open after three more withdrawals.
In a statement, the R&A revealed that Chris Kirk had broken his hand and would be replaced by Streelman, with it understood that the injury occurred after an accident at home.
The world No 19, who won his fourth PGA Tour title in the Crowne Plaza Invitational in May, hasn't featured competitively since finishing 75th at last month's US Open.
Streelman will now make his fourth Open appearance in five years, looking to improve on tied-54th and tied-79th finishes in his previous two visits.
Ramsay is to feature on home soil next week after South Africa's Tim Clark withdrew due to visa issues. The Scot had moved up to first reserve earlier on Sunday when Sweden's Alex Noren was forced out due to injury, with Japan's Iwata taking Noren's place. American Shawn Stefani is now first reserve
Kirk was the second player to pull out of next week's major, after world No 1 Rory McIlroy was forced to withdraw after rupturing ankle ligaments while playing football.
The Northern Irishman was replaced by Russell Knox, who will make his Open debut.
