The PGA TOUR heads to North Berwick, Scotland this week for the Genesis Scottish Open. The Renaissance Club will be the host and measures as a 7,237-yard par 70 with Fescue greens.
We have another full-field event this week with 156 golfers and a 36-hole cut. Scottie Scheffler is the current betting favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook at +360, while Rory McIlroy (+850), Xander Schauffele (+1800) and Tommy Fleetwood (+2200) round out the top of the odds board.
Below I have outlined my two favorite bets for the week.
Tommy Fleetwood to win (+2200)
Many will look at Fleetwood’s choke job at the Travelers Championship as a negative, but I view it as another spot where he was right in contention at the end. There is no doubt that the Englishman’s time is coming, it’s simply a matter of when at this point. Fleetwood was unbelievable at TPC River Highlands, gaining 2.5 strokes on approach, 3.1 off the tee and 5.1 around the green.
If you roll back the last 48 rounds in this field, you’ll find that Fleetwood ranks No. 2 behind only Scottie Scheffler in Total Strokes Gained, while sitting third in SG: Tee-to-Green and seventh in SG: Approach as well. He has zero weaknesses in his game when he’s on, and the fact he’s been getting these stressful Sunday reps in of late is only going to help him in the future.
Fleetwood will be making his sixth career start at the Renaissance Club this week. In his first five appearances, he recorded three top-six finishes — including a runner-up — along with a T34 and a T26. Widely regarded as one of the best links golf players in the world, Fleetwood has yet to win on the PGA TOUR but owns six victories on the DP World Tour.
Getting 22/1 here is a pretty fair number, even with Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy in the field.
Adam Scott to win (+5500)
Scott has really found his form of late after a poor start to the 2025 season. He finished T12 at the U.S. Open despite being in contention until late on Sunday, and followed that up with a T30 at the Travelers the following week. During this stretch, the Aussie has gained 7.16 strokes ball-striking, which ranks fourth in this field.
Scott played this event last year and finished runner-up to Robert MacIntyre, falling just one stroke short. He ranked fourth in the field off the tee and 10th in putting, while also gaining strokes both on approach and around the green.
Scott has always been an elite links golfer, having played in every Open Championship since 2001. As shown last year, his driving on these wide-open style courses has been outstanding, consistently keeping him out of trouble — especially the pot bunkers. Scott definitely has one more win in him before he calls it a career, and at 55/1 on a familiar layout, I’m happy to back him here.
