The 2022 Genesis Scottish Open is the first-ever co-sponsored event between the PGA TOUR and the DP World Tour, and 160 golfers will take to The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland beginning on Thursday.
Jon Rahm is the favorite to be in the clubhouse ahead following the first 18 holes at DraftKings Sportsbook, but there are plenty of other players to take a flyer on as most of the best golfers in the world are here as the Open Championship is at St. Andrews next week.
Something to keep in mind is that The Renaissance Club is a much more American-style course than the usual links setup you see in Scotland. There are trees and trimmed fairways, and while the wind will be a factor, the grass will not dry to hardwood floor levels as it might at The Home of Golf next week.

The Pick: Cameron Smith +3500
The Australian has every shot in the bag, and was No. 1 on the PGA TOUR in scoring average after the first round until two blow-ups at the Canadian Open and US Open. But the Australian is now well-rested after playing more golf in consecutive weeks than he ever had, and his 4.80 birdie average is still best on tour. For a course that should be very gettable, he’s the guy that can go super low on Thursday.
