2025 Genesis Scottish Open picks, odds, field: Surprising predictions from model that’s nailed 15 majors
The roars return to The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, for the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open, which begins on July 10. The 2025 Genesis Scottish Open field will feature the best players from the DP World Tour and PGA Tour in a dual-eligibility event. The field features eight of the top 10 players in the Official World Golf Ranking, including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. Scheffler has racked up three wins and 11 top-10 finishes this season, and his best finish at this event was a T-3 showing two years ago.
According to the latest 2025 Genesis Scottish Open odds, Scheffler is the +360 (risk $100 to win $360) betting favorite. He’s followed by Rory McIlroy (+750), Xander Schauffele (+2000) and Tommy Fleetwood (+2200) on the PGA odds board. Defending champion Robert MacIntyre is +3300 to repeat.

2025 Genesis Scottish Open predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open: Rory McIlroy, a 29-time PGA Tour winner and one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and barely cracks the top five. McIlroy won the Scottish Open in dramatic fashion in 2023 and secured a T-4 finish in 2024, but he’s been inconsistent since his victory at the Masters in April.
McIlroy has finished T-47 or worse in two of his last four starts on the PGA Tour and has failed to finish inside the top five since beating Justin Rose in a playoff to complete the career Grand Slam at Augusta National. The 36-year-old has struggled with accuracy all season, ranking 166th in driving accuracy (52.40%), 80th in strokes gained: approach to green (0.100) and 74th in greens in regulation (66.40%). He’s not a strong pick to win it all, and there are far better values in the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open field. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: Ludvig Aberg, a 30-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.
Aberg certainly has the game to finish near the top of the leaderboard this week. The 25-year-old has one win and three top-10 finishes this season, and he secured a T-4 finish at the Scottish Open in 2024. He’s also shot 69 or below in eight of his last 11 rounds on the PGA Tour, proving his game is trending in the right direction. If he’s striking the ball well this week, he’ll have a great shot at finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open. See who else to pick here. Bettors looking to take advantage of a bet365 bonus code can get Aberg to finish inside the top 10 at +230 odds.
