With The Open Championship rapidly approaching, many of the top players in the world will spend the week overseas for the PGA Tour’s co-sanctioned event, the 2023 Genesis Scottish Open. There will be PGA Tour and DP World Tour players teeing it up at the Renaissance Club in Scotland this week, getting in a final tune-up before the year’s 4th and final major at Royal Loverpool.
Below, we look at the 2023 Genesis Scottish Open odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
Defending champion Xander Schauffele is tied with Patrick Cantlay (+1400) for the 3rd-best odds in the field. Scottie Scheffler is the slight favorite at +700, just barely ahead of Rory McIlroy at +800. Jon Rahm is not playing in the Genesis Scottish Open this week.
This is the 5th time The Renaissance Club is hosting the tournament. It’s a newer course, having opened in 2007. In classic links golf fashion, holes are cut between areas of heavy fescue and because it was built through a forest, there are still plenty of trees on the course – though they don’t come into play all that often. It will play at 7,237 yards as a par 70 this week.
