When Scottie Scheffler (+480 at FanDuel Sportsbook) enters the chat, he is the man to beat regardless of the occasion, time zone or field. This week at the Genesis Scottish Open is no different. The FedExCup points leader has picked off just one victory in 2026, but he leads the TOUR with nine top-10 paydays from 14 starts. 

Rory McIlroy (+1000), won on debut at The Renaissance Club in 2023 and was one of two players who shared second in 2025 behind defending champion Chris Gotterup (+3000). Making his fourth start at The Renaissance Club, he owns three finishes of T4 or better on these links, with all 12 loops having gone for 68 or better. Growing up on the links of Northern Ireland, the 30-time winner on TOUR understands how to navigate the breezes, humps and bumps of links golf.

Posting rounds of 68-78 at Shinnecock Hills at the U.S. Open to miss the cut should be plenty of motivation for Jon Rahm (+1200) this week in Scotland. Making just his second start at The Renaissance Club, he arrives at a track where he posted only one of four rounds in the 60s on debut in 2022 for T55.

Matt Fitzpatrick (+2000) joins Gotterup as the only other player on TOUR in 2026 to win three times. The Englishman picked up winners’ checks at the Valspar Championship after finishing second at THE PLAYERS Championship in March.

 Alex Fitzpatrick (+6000) to win the following week at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Sitting second to Scheffler in the FedExCup points race, the Englishman arrives in Scotland off a runner-up at the RBC Canadian Open and a T4 at the United States Open at a course where he earned a pair of top-10 paydays in four appearances, including a career-best T4 in 2025. 

 Aaron Rai (+6000) in the 2020 edition and added T4 in 2022 and T6 in 2023. The last two visits both resulted in T34 paydays, but he is more than comfortable at The Renaissance Club. He kicked off 2026 with a T4 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am to start his season stateside in February and added another T4 in early June at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday.

Ludvig Åberg (+2500) is the final player in the field, commanding odds better than +3000. After a run of nine events spanning late February through the end of May that resulted in paydays of T21 or better, the two-time TOUR winner has cooled off as the weather has heated up. Closing with 66 at Shinnecock Hills three weeks ago, he posted four rounds of 70 or better the following week at the Travelers to earn T55.
