The PGA Tour heads across the pond for two weeks, beginning with the 2026 Genesis Scottish Open on Thursday at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, with the Open Championship following next week. Virtually every top player is teeing it up this week, with Scottie Scheffler listed as the favorite in the 2026 Scottish Open odds at FanDuel Sportsbook at +600, followed by Rory McIlroy at +1000, Jon Rahm at +1600 and the trio of Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick at +2000.
Chris Gotterup won this event last year and won last week's John Deere Classic, and he's at +2700 on the PGA odds board this week.

2026 Scottish Open predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the Scottish Open 2026: Jon Rahm, the third favorite this week at +1600, stumbles and barely finishes inside top 10. He's a golfer to fade in Scottish Open best bets. Rahm is eligible for this event because it is co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour alongside the PGA. Rahm finished T2 at the PGA Championship this year, but missed the cut at the U.S. Open and finished T38 at the Masters. He shot 5 over and finished outside the top 50 the last time he played this event in 2022, so the model doesn't rank him as a top favorite this week. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: Wyndham Clark is a strong value this week despite having longer odds at +2700. Clark isn't getting favorite treatment on the odds board this week even though he's one of the hottest players on tour. He won the U.S. Open and hasn't finished worse than T11 in his past five events. This will be Clark's fifth Scottish Open appearance, and he's never finished worse than T25, including back-to-back top-11 finishes. See who else to pick here.
