SportsLine golf expert Eric Cohen just locked in his PGA Tour best bets for the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club

Jake Knapp made his professional links debut this week in Scotland, and he's off to a terrific start at The Renaissance Club.

McIlroy said he could hear the excitement in the voices of friends talking about his Masters win. And there’s the anticipation of two weeks of a different brand of golf, the Scottish Open that starts Thursday and then the British Open at Royal Portrush in his native Northern Ireland.

Lack: Maverick McNealy (80-1, FanDuel) — Maverick McNealy has had an incredibly impressive 2025, where he has found himself agonizingly to the winner’s circle. McNealy’s prowess off the tee and elite putting upside should pay dividends at the Renaissance Club, where he has already recorded a top-20 finish in his only appearance.

The reigning Masters champion, Rory McIlroy, cannot escape the trolls as his latest trim has them questioning who the barber was.

Genesis Scottish Open tee times for Friday's second round in Scotland, featuring Scottie Scheffler, Adam Scott and more.

Robert MacIntyre won the 2024 Gensis Scottish Open. The Scottish native finished 18 under par, beating second place by 1 stroke. MacIntyre returns to defend his homeland championship. He is currently ranked 14 on the Official World Golf Rankings.

In 2024, MacIntyre became the first Scot to win the Scottish Open since Colin Montgomery in 1999. MacIntyre won with a score of 18-under, one stroke ahead of Adam Scott.

While still the Open tune-up it's long been, this week's Genesis Scottish Open will feature the toughest field of the year aside from the PGA Championship, U.S. Open and The Players.
