The upcoming Genesis Scottish Open is another key tournament on the PGA Tour that you cannot miss, which is scheduled on Thursday, July 9th at The Renaissance Golf Club and is known as a premium golf course in Scotland. Many will earn a sliver of the $9,000,000 purse, and Rory McIlroy will lead the field as a moneyline favorite at +710.
Another exciting edition of the Genesis Scottish Open will take place at The Renaissance Club in the United Kingdom. The course is a Par 70 that covers nearly 7,300 total yards.
Defending champion McIlroy won by one stroke with a -15 score overall in the 2023 edition and had a dramatic effort with two consecutive birdies on the 17th and 18th holes. Many golfers like McIlroy are returning here, as this event will also co-sanction with the DP World Tour for the third year in a row.
Several past winners will be present in the field, especially Xander Schauffele, who is second in the odds. He won this event back in 2022 and has a good shot at repeating.
With several winners in the field and plenty of golfers showing excellent momentum, it makes sense to go with strong contenders in a loaded field. Below are some valuable options to consider.
Lee placed 35th last year at this event with just a -4 total. While this is a solid performance in a loaded field, he has the potential to do better. He won this event back in 2021 with a total score of -18.
Rai won this event in 2020 and followed it up in 2021 with a T35 finish. In his last two starts here, he missed the cut both times. However, he is coming off a T7 finish at the John Deere Classic and has great momentum.
Schauffele finished T41 here last year, won in 2022, and placed T10 in 2021. While these are somewhat volatile performances, he can be a threat here. He is coming off a T13 finish at the Travelers Championship at the end of June.
MyBookie offers compelling PGA Tour betting odds, giving you the best Genesis Scottish Open experience. According to the odds,Rory McIlroy leads the field slightly ahead of Xander Schauffele.
Most of the time, repeats do not happen, as the competition is likely too tough or an emerging star comes along. However, this is a great case for McIlroy to pull it off.
He is back in action after a runner-up performance at the U.S. Open. Looking at his last six starts, he has completed four top-four finishes (two of which were victories).
