Lynx-style drama, Scottish winds, and a stacked leaderboard—this weekend is must-watch golf.
We’re heading to The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland for the Genesis Scottish Open. It’s a perfect blend of tradition and modern design—lynx-style layout, coastal views, and the kind of weather that can flip the leaderboard in minutes.
Whether you’re betting, watching, or planning a dream Scotland trip, here’s everything you need to know.

This Tom Doak-designed course is not your average links. Think wide landing areas, deep bunkers, and unpredictable winds. Conditions change fast—one hour it’s scorable, the next it’s survival mode.
Yes, you can play it, but it’s private with limited visitor access and a hefty guest green fee (rumored to be £350+). If you’re planning a Scotland golf trip, it's worth asking your club pro about a letter of introduction.

Betting Odds: The Favorites, the Defending Champ, and a Sleeper We Love
🔥 Top Picks
Scottie Scheffler (+360) – It’s Scottie. Always in the mix.
Rory McIlroy (+850) – 2023 champ. Comfortable in links conditions. Loves a wind battle.
Robert MacIntyre (+3000) – Defending champ. Scottish local. Runner up at the U.S. Open.
Collin Morikawa (+2600) – Links game suits him. Short game trending up.
Adam Scott (+5500) – Our sleeper of the week. Timeless swing, plenty of Open prep experience, and a number that feels too long. He also finished 2nd here last year…
Will it be one of these five? Or will another pick top us out? This is one of the best pre-major fields of the season, and the leaderboard is going to be stacked.

Why This Week Matters: It’s Open Season
The Open Championship kicks off next week—and this is the best preview we’ll get.
The Scottish Open gives players a chance to:
Adjust to true links turf
Dial in their wind game
Mentally prep for chaos (aka British weather)
Build momentum heading into the final major of the year
Winning this week isn’t just about prize money—it’s about setting the tone for Royal Troon.
Our Final Word
This weekend’s Scottish Open is more than just a tune-up—it’s a test. And for fans, it’s a preview of what’s to come. Rory looks dialed, Bobby Mac has home-country magic, and our eyes are on Adam Scott at +5500. Let’s see who handles the wind, the turf, and the pressure.
