2026 Genesis Scottish Open Picks, Predictions and Best Bets: First Look

 

Hey, welcome in. It is again another day without Ryan Noonan, who's on vacation, not even a golf vacation, just a regular family vacation, taking care of business there. He'll be back soon, but we'll do a quick first-look show. Ron can't join us today either, bad storms rolling through the Midwest, he hasn't had power at his house since, geez, like Friday. So just me. I avoided the worst of it. I spent a little time down at the John Deere, had a couple of sweats there. That was nice, with Suber. Doesn't quite have that dog in him. Would have been nice to see him play a little bit better on Sunday, get into the conversation. Ryan also had a Suber ticket with a much better number, and that hurts, but not as bad as having a Ben Kohles ticket. Pretty tough ending for things there.

 

And it leads us into the double situation where I can't bet on a guy because he just won a tournament, and I can't bet on a guy because he won this tournament last year. I'm not sure that you get this often, but we got the double-double with Gotterup. So congratulations. Congrats, Michael, you got your Gotterup. There were so many people in the mix that it was tough. I wasn't banking on Suber getting it done, but it would have been nice. Still, nice, happy with the process, getting some guys in the mix with a small card.

 

And boy, a big difference this week, obviously, with the strength of the field. Last week you saw a lot of cards, a lot of people betting on, you know, it's not like these guys are two hundred to one, but lesser names, younger players, guys who can go out there and just score. A bit of a dichotomy, the difference, the flip in script as far as field strength and how you're going to have to approach betting it. Usually, with the smaller purse, you don't end up with this, but the fact that it's the lead-up to the Open, the only major, and there is quite a bit of travel too, so many people just end up using this as a warm-up, and we actually have a stacked field for a smaller purse here. Most of the top of the board is here, and then obviously the LIV stuff. It's kind of cool, I guess I'm happy to get these guys in the mix more often, and however they finagled it on the back end with the DP World Tour, you get Rahm, you get Hatton, Puig I think. Patrick Reed obviously is making his way back in a different way. But it's great to have some of those names and just get the full strength of field outside of just those four times a year.

 

So it is a co-sanctioned event, that's why I mentioned the DP World Tour. You end up with the PGA and the DP World Tour both running the event, so that's why, like I said, Rahm and Hatton were able to work their way in. That way. Royal Birkdale, though, next week, so I know some people are already looking ahead to that, but obviously still an event to bet. And unlike last week, when we were hunting for a bit of a live long shot, it's funny how I said, oh, they weren't two hundred to one. A long shot has a different connotation in different sports. You look at some of these mid-board guys, it's like, oh, he's only forty to one, only fifty to one. You imagine betting on a Major League Baseball game or a basketball game and hitting a forty-to-one on some prop or an SGP or something, it'd feel damn good. But somehow, in your mind, when you're betting golf, it just doesn't seem like that big of a number. Maybe I'm alone there, but it's still a long shot. It would have been great to, you know, Suber at sixty-ish, and change, I think Ryan had seventy-five, those are definitely long shots. So unlike last week, when you're hunting for those live long shots, you actually have to beat good players this week, and that does change how we're shopping the board.

 

Which is probably a good time to bring up the Sharp Stack odds board. A lot of places not up yet, and obviously I can't bet in some of the legal shops. But as you see, it's kind of standard procedure here, you have Scottie at five to one, you have Rory at about double that. FanDuel's up, DK's up, plus nine-twenty at DK, ten to one on Rory at FanDuel. But you jam Rahm in the middle. So usually at these signature events you have those two, and then right after it you end up with Ludvig and Fitzpatrick and Schauffele and all of them, and they're still in that two-thousand range, twenty to one, but you end up with Rahm mashed in there at twelve to one, which is a fun one. Gotterup, obviously has had some success here and has some good form, thirty to one. Wyndham Clark, thirty-five. Hovland, who's obviously had some good form as well, thirty-five to one. Cantlay, I guess he worked his way up a leaderboard a couple weeks ago, got to put a little respect on the name again, but I don't know who's betting Patrick Cantlay in events like this, he's thirty-five to one. Si Woo Kim, who's had a great year without the actual top-of-the-mountaintop kind of stuff, thirty-five. J.T., forty. Bobby Mac, the local-ish guy, forty at Fanatics. I'm not sure that's a place people actually place bets, but they definitely are on the Sharp Stack odds board here. Hatton, mentioned previously that he got in through the DP World Tour, he'll play at forty to one. And then some of the interesting names here, Kitayama, fifty-five, kind of a fun, interesting one as far as how he fits in here, and we'll get into some of that later.

 

Did want to bring up the key stats page here on the Betsperts Golf site, just kind of talking about the makeup of this one. And before anyone asks, yeah, we'll cover the ISCO as well. I love the ISCO, I've hit outrights in Kentucky, I will be writing some previews for that, we'll get some articles up. But I haven't done zero work on the ISCO, I've been just spending my time here getting ready for the Scottish Open. So tomorrow on the betting show we'll definitely get into that one, but today, just focusing on the Scottish Open.

 

Modern links, Tom Doak design, opened, you know, twenty years ago, roughly par seventy, seventy-two hundred yards. It's a weird one, because if you start thinking about links courses, it looks like a links course, but it doesn't always play like a links course. Obviously you can get the wind coming off the water and get the winds just because it's a little more wide open, and that can definitely affect things. But man, the fairways are pretty wide here, and even with the four-inch rough, it's fescue, people don't seem to have as much trouble with that as some of the other types of agronomy that can grab at your clubs. So the missed-fairway penalty here, if you look at this, four-inch, it's categorized as long rough in how we categorize things for doing splits in the Rabbit Hole, but the missed-fairway penalty is low. And again, fairway accuracy is difficult even though they're wide, so there are a lot of people just kind of pounding it here and not worrying all that much. So it does turn into ball striking and finding your way around these really big greens. I think that's another aspect of this course that's interesting, especially compared to the last few weeks. Pretty sizable greens, seven thousand square feet on average, and slower than an average tour week just because of the agronomy, the fescue around the greens. Pretty easy here. If you're a shaky chipper, wedger, wedgers, what my kid calls it, I don't think anyone else uses that term, you can survive just finding your way around the greens because they are a little bit slower. They're big, though, you do need to have some of that three-putt avoidance when you're hitting one of these longer lag putts.

 

As I mentioned, fairway difficulty, fairway accuracy difficulty, low miss penalty. But there is some defense there with the bunkers, they're pretty tough. You'll see this at certain stops where a guy finds a fairway bunker and he's in the middle of it, he's got room, and honestly these guys are so good that they're still hitting these greens, but these are tougher bunkers just the way things are set up. So finding the fairway bunkers is going to be way, way worse than just finding some of this rough when you're off the green. Eighty bunkers, no real water hazards here, I think we listed it as low and zero. I mean, you can see water, it's just if you've actually hit it in the water you've really done something wrong.

 

GIR, greens-in-reg accuracy here is average. I think they are harder to hit in general, but they're so big that it still comes out as average for the most part. The winning profile, for some of these guys, is just somewhat distance and strokes gained off the tee paired with finding one or two other strengths. If you have a guy who's been great off the tee, he's gaining OTT, he's got some distance, and he also has that long-iron strength. The approach ranges here do skew a little longer, and we can look at that too further down. Driver usage, about seventy percent. Approach-shot distribution here on the page, where are we at, we can scoot over a little, because I think this one seventy-five to two hundred range, you know, the PGA Tour average for shots coming from one seventy-five to two hundred is fifteen percent. Last year it was twenty-three percent here, so there are quite a bit of those longer shots. PGA Tour average for two hundred plus is just shy of twenty percent, last year it was thirty-six point five. Jeepers cats. Oh, those are, I guess that's fairway only, I should be looking at total, so a little higher on total, twenty-five compared to twenty-three and a half. Total one seventy-five to two hundred is twenty-five and a half, here the PGA average is eighteen and a half. So those one seventy-five, two hundred, two fifty, those big, longer iron shots, it is a higher distribution of those this week.

 

So again, if you find somebody who can bomb it off the tee and still has to hit some of these irons, one seventy-five, in really good ball strikers, maybe they don't have to have perfect chipping around the green because of the size of these greens. As long as they're not absolutely duffing it on the greens and three-putting everything, you're going to find yourself in contention, because I don't know that it's going to come down to the wind. Guys, we've had that here at this event, where if the wind really kicks up it can turn into who can fight through that, who has the flight height, the apex height, they can flight it down and fight through some of that wind, who can do it on their second shots without having to really throw it way up in the air. It doesn't look that windy this week. Again, it's Monday, lots of things can change. We threw together a weather article on the site, but a lot of Thursday we're showing this line is ten miles an hour, most of the wind below ten with some gusts fifteen. Wednesday, or excuse me, we're not going to work backwards. Friday, gusts maybe getting to twenty in the afternoon, but again, winds right around that ten-mile-an-hour range. Saturday morning it's going to be pretty windy, but again, we're going to have a cut, and I don't actually know what time tee times will start on round three, but not as early, obviously, as rounds one and two, so some of these winds are going to be dissipated by the time the guys who actually matter hit the course on Saturday. And then Sunday, same kind of story, eight to ten miles an hour with maybe gusts fifteen to twenty. Obviously that can change, but it doesn't look like we're going to have a ton of wind.

 

Honestly, one of the strange factors this week for the weather, it really is strange for me because I live in the Midwest where the corn's sweating, and I just sweated my ass off sitting down in Silvis, Illinois in the sun watching the John Deere, but it's going to be kind of chilly, especially in the morning, with ten-to-fifteen-mile-an-hour winds and temps only in the low sixties. It's going to feel like fifty degrees, which maybe isn't cold, but definitely a shock to the system for anybody, like a guy like Gotterup, who just had ass sweats for four days at the John Deere heading here. It's going to be relatively fifty degrees cooler, because with some of the humidity in Silvis there, your real feel was like a hundred degrees. So kind of strange, some of the feels-like temperatures are going to be in the low fifties here, so I don't know that that actually affects anything, it just tripped me up when I was starting to look at the weather.

 

See if we have comp courses here real quick, because people keep bringing up Harding. The Genesis Scottish Open, our listed ones are Portrush, Birkdale next week, Royal St. George's, and St. Andrews, a lot of the Open courses, Shinnecock, Royal Liverpool, Los Angeles CC North Course, the U.S. Open course from a few years ago, Memorial Park, and the Ocean Course at Kiawah, and Erin Hills. A lot of people have mentioned Memorial Park, Houston, which is kind of interesting, again, because we're not going to get that wind. We're not going to have that feel of, hey, I've got to fight through the weather and it's raining sideways and it's nasty out. It's cloudy and windy, but the fact that it might just be pretty clean conditions, the Memorial Park thing is a pretty interesting comp to me, not only because of how it plays, but if you go look at who designed this, Tom Doak, and Memorial Park is another Doak design. You spray the driver, you hit your long approaches, and you get away with a little bit of loose short game as long as the putting isn't abhorrent. I don't know if I'm going to go just take guys who played well in Houston and say, hey, I'm going to bet on you here, but it's definitely something that's on the radar this week.

 

Go look, again, to recent champs, Gotterup last year at fifteen under, Bobby Mac, mentioned, the local guy, semi-local, Rory three years ago, Xander. And this is interesting too, as you see, it was eight, fifteen under, eighteen under, fifteen under, and then you get to the Xander year in 2022, and that was a windy year, that was a weather year, that was where you ended up with a little bit of fighting through the elements again. Don't think we end up with that at all, could be wrong. It's nine-seventeen a.m. Central time on a Monday and a lot of time between now and when we actually tee off, and the weather can definitely change.

 

So, really, distance driving matters, but it's not just blind distance, it has to be good enough to avoid the fairway bunkers and good enough ball striking to make those longer iron shots. And I don't know, lag putting, I guess we could look at some of that with three-putt avoidance. You do want to dig into that a little bit more if you are looking at a place with bigger greens, so keep that in mind if you are building a Rabbit Hole model.

 

I haven't finished mine for the week, but as always, we do have the key stats model built up. It is just five stats, our simple one we put right up there on the home site. On the homepage, Ron builds this with basically one stat from each of the four major categories, and then kind of a little bit of a wild-card one. This is just total, last six months, it's just form. So form off the tee, looking at the last six months off the tee. Approach, last three months, all starts, all courses. Around the green, looking at some of the, we took out some of the tough around-the-green spots, this is just easy, very easy, and average around-the-green play. And then a little bit of putting, putting gaining difficulty, because again, it is tough to gain strokes here on the greens. So, pretty in line with the odds board, honestly. Scottie number one, when you do it like this and you're not getting terribly granular, that's how it should look. Rory two, Ludvig a little further down, three. Obviously, looking at data like this excludes a lot of Jon Rahm's play, so he's just going to be lower on here, maybe not at all, based on how much data we have. There are just dead spots here where we don't have a lot of data on him based on the tournaments he's been allowed to play. So Rahm, better than fifty-second in the field, I'll go out on a limb and say that, but just worth mentioning that his is a data problem, we don't really think that lowly of him.

 

Fitzpatrick, obviously an interesting play here based on the year he's had, and he's had some tough finishes or good finishes here. The putting is a little lower than people up higher in the field. It's funny that Brandt Snedeker, again, you're going to use form, you're going to use some of the things he does well, some of his iron play. Brandt Snedeker has a win on tour this year, he almost took down another one. I don't know that a guy who's going to be a huge price like that is going to be value, but definitely another guy worth digging into, because he's a guy I've liked this year. Tommy Fleetwood, we skipped over, he was fifth in this model. He hasn't done anything wrong. Again, a guy, I don't know that I can bet him here, is someone who maybe struggles a little to close the deal at times, obviously. Fitzpatrick, the other Fitzpatrick, again, great form. After winning that event with his brother, people were kind of dogging on, oh, he made his way on tour in kind of a sneaky, backhanded way, but he's played some good golf, so I don't hate that. Jake Knapp is a weird one too, the data you're looking at here is also looking far enough back where you're looking pre-injury, where he's been kind of banged up, and I don't know how to treat him this week. That's kind of a play-it-by-ear if you're using him in DFS because of some of the issues we could see from a guy that maybe hasn't played his best this year, fighting through some of that. Smalley, that's an interesting one to be this high, I didn't see that coming.

 

Brooks Koepka is in this, but I don't believe he's playing, I'm going to double-check on that. I'm not sure, I saw news that he was going to pull out, so let me triple-check that while we talk through this. I don't remember what his deal was. It's kind of interesting too, with the Gotterup thing, having to travel after a win, you often see people win a tournament and then pull out, but what are you going to do, this is prep. All right, yeah, there was news that he'd pulled out, and the latest article says, Brooks Koepka back in Scottish Open field after entry confusion resolved. So I take it back, I guess he's playing. Obviously we'll cover that if something happens, but Brooks, he's kind of back, he's played some good golf. I was really down on him last year when he was making some starts, because his knee, I don't think, was right, he wasn't driving off that knee right, and his swing mechanics looked a little wonky, he was missing off the tee a lot, some of his approach shots you could just tell he wasn't comfortable. So Brooks Koepka, maybe somebody I might bet again after really, really fading that guy last year. And then kind of rounding out the top dozen, Tom Kim and Taylor Moore. Tom Kim, another weird one, where a guy came on the scene, was great, fell off for a while, but his form's kind of back in place, and somebody you can look at at a bigger number here.

 

So if you are putting in some filters this week for a Rabbit Hole, I think definitely rely heavy on off-the-tee stuff. It might not just be, hey, I'm putting in driving distance and that's going to be a huge driver for me, because it isn't pure bombing with these fairway bunkers that can be a little punishing. But definitely an off-the-tee filter needs to come in heavily, if it's that, or if it's tee to green, if it's ball striking, if you want to combine the two, because it is a big driver profile week, which is, you know, MacIntyre. MacIntyre won this, MacIntyre can probably win this again if he plays well enough with the second shots. And then, as we went over a little earlier, the approach stuff, if you are doing approach, you might want to look at some of those buckets that are one seventy-five on out. This is where a lot of the shots live here at this course. If you're looking at somebody, can they play elite from the long-range irons?

 

We could look at that comp-course thing, I haven't done that. We should just go straight Rabbit Hole here. I like doing this quite a bit too, where maybe I'm not building a model, but I like to click the button right under courses, it'll pull in all those courses mentioned earlier automatically. It'll only show rounds and stats from courses you've played on, which is a bit of a problem since our timeframe is set at six months, and nobody's played at St. Andrews in the last six months on tour. So if you do want to look at the comp stuff, some weeks it's fine to look at a year, but with so many of these being places I haven't played, I'm going to pull up two years and look at some of the average strokes gained when they played on these, what, ten courses or so. Even this isn't going to pull in like Los Angeles, because it's been too long ago. Even this is only giving me sixteen rounds for some of these guys, so grain of salt on some of this. And obviously Scottie's top of the board here, Xander's second, but interestingly enough, Sam Stevens. That's a popular one this year, people have lumped on him a few times. Sam Stevens, and if you click on this, it'll actually show, hey, you pulled up these ten courses, last two years, it'll show which ones it's pulling for him. And it was the 2026 U.S. Open the other week and two straight years of the Texas Children's Houston Open. So, again, use some context, because some of these are going to be a lot of tougher courses, where two-thirds of his rounds are the Houston Open under probably easier conditions. Which, again, maybe not the worst thing to look at this week with the light winds, scatter it up high. What are you going to do, he's playing great.

 

Keith Mitchell, interesting. Keefer, a guy I bet last week, I'm guessing his eight rounds are just going to be Houston, or no, it was two rounds, no, it was all four rounds at the U.S. Open, and then this year's Texas Children's Houston Open for him as well. Bet him last week, don't think I have the stomach for it at a good event like this, so I'll be avoiding Johnny Keefer this week. Sorry, Johnny, we tried. Sudarshan Yellamaraju, very small sample for him, just six, I'm guessing he missed the cut at the Open. Yep, two at the Open and then the Texas Children's Open, so maybe this isn't super instructive on everybody. You could go show me guys who played at least twelve rounds and sort out some of those guys, but it is a lot of the top of the board. It is Scottie, Xander, Rory's not that far, Wyndham's not that far down, Fitzpatrick's right there. Corey Conners, couldn't pay me to bet him here, I don't think he has the chops to beat this field right now. Min Woo Lee, maybe a guy I'm looking at.

 

Yeah, I guess Gotterup, defending champ, he was on sponsor's exemptions not that long ago, this guy has a bunch of wins now, been hot all summer. That's a weird bet to make, though, as I mentioned right off the top, because we, as golf bettors, hate betting on a guy that just won, and we hate betting on a guy that won this event last year. So he's got two strikes against him. Maybe I just kind of wait, I'm going to kind of keep an eye on his price, if it fades down. He's just playing such good golf. Gotterup each-way, or Gotterup top ten. If the market's a little cooler on him because there are so many big names and they want to avoid him for that reason, maybe I'm in the Gotterup business.

 

I bet Rory at the U.S. Open, didn't help, he didn't get it done. He's ten to one, if I had to place one bet near the top of the board, and I know Scottie has looked a little better, he almost got it done there a couple weeks back, but if you're going to give me Scottie at, again, five to one and Rory at double that price, and, I mean, what's his form here, is it just like second place every year? We can look at his page quick here, gosh, I'm terrible at clicking around. Hopefully he's not Sabbatini, we'll look at McIlroy. Going down to his Genesis, oh, it's going to pull in the Genesis Invitational too, I've got to type in Scottish here. T-2, twenty-five, T-4, twenty-four, and then obviously the win a couple years back. So I think I'm in the same boat as I was at the U.S. Open. If you're making me take someone at the top of the board and you're getting ten to one on a guy who does nothing but top-five this place, and you're getting twice the price for half the projected win equity in the market right now, I'm kind of looking at Rory again. Yeah, he's disappointed me before and I hate his guts most weeks, but I don't know that ten to one is going to sit there forever, I'm probably looking at that.

 

I've looked at Fitzpatrick, I haven't made any clicks yet. Again, as a guy who's not in a legal state and can't just hammer the stupid early numbers on DraftKings, I'm going to wait until some of the books I can use pop up here. You know what, I bet on the prediction markets last week, I used Kalshi for a couple. I get the best odds possible, for me at least. I believe it was Blades Brown and Suber that were on Kalshi for me, they were about fifty-five to one everywhere else, I got roughly sixty-five. And I have no idea when they open odds, I just haven't really looked at that. I know when Bovada, BetOnline, BookMaker open odds for me, I know when to start checking that stuff, I don't really know Kalshi, Polymarket, Novig. So I'm going to have to do some double-checking on that and see if I'm going to be more of a Monday bettor if I have three or four options to shop from. I think a lot of why I wait is I'm waiting for the BookMaker prices to come out, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday.

 

But yeah, Fitzpatrick's on the radar. He's got that low ball flight, Fitz, links courses, maybe, again, not as much of a problem this week with the light winds. The new driver has the form trending. But he's like twenty to one, I can't bet all the guys at the top of the board. I mentioned Kitayama, he's had a good finish here a few years back, he's been gaining on approach, he's won in the wind, if it does kick up and be windy. The putter's a little rough, I think that's probably going to keep me off him, but he's like fifty to one, he'd be someone I looked at. I mentioned Tom Kim, he's, God, what is it, the inside fifteen? I think that was the stat that popped up for him, just finding really good opportunities, hitting your irons inside that fifteen-foot range, giving yourself opportunities at birdies, and obviously hopefully just two putts here, not three putts. He's someone I looked at.

 

And then Chacarra, are we going to bet Chacarra? I have a bet on him next week, a hundred to one to win, and I bet him parlayed with France to win the World Cup, that pays, you know, like fifteen dollars to pay eight grand or something ridiculous. So I'm going to be cheering him next week, but I don't know, I'm going to have to double-check he's in the field, I think so, just because it is a DP World Tour co-sanction and he's had so much success, I would assume he's here. Haven't looked all the way up and down the field yet, still a bit of a Monday for me.

 

And I don't have that much more, unless anyone has any questions or ideas, thoughts. I'll be back tomorrow, I'll have my betting card put together. If you do want to check out some of the stuff that's behind the paywall, we still have the Novig deal. You're able to get yourself a full year, three hundred and sixty-five days, all the way through next year's John Deere Classic, for five bucks. You sign up for Novig, use our promo code BSG and deposit at least five bucks, they'll give you fifty, which is already a ten-to-one you hit on. You can hit on that and Rory, have two ten-to-ones. We'll give you a full-year subscription to Betsperts Golf, the Rabbit Hole, the paywalled articles, the daily articles through the tournament from Ron, all of the player pages, the tournament pages, all that. So check that out. And yeah, BSG26 if you can't take advantage of that. If you have already done some of those deals, or you already have a Novig account, I'm going to say, you know who doesn't have a Novig account? Your wife, your girlfriend, your dad. They can get a Novig account, they can just give you the promo code. Sign up for Novig, find your way in there, get this for free. I mean, not free, but five bucks is practically free, so check that out.

 

And then, yeah, I'll see you tomorrow. Loaded field, a course that rewards driver and long irons, forgives the short game a little, and a winning number that kind of looks wimpy this week. Give us a thumbs up on the way out, subscribe to the channel. I am able to see the stats, only like thirty percent of the people that watch these videos are subscribed, that hurts my feelings, so hit the subscribe button. And then, yeah, we'll have full outright cards tomorrow. Ryan will have his, I don't know that he's writing an article, but I will make him tell me who he's betting, at least, so I can talk about a few of his bets in the show. And yeah, we'll catch you tomorrow, we'll have a little more firm look at the weather.

 

We do have a question: did you see any Preston Stout at the JDC? He was impressive. Yeah, everybody wanted to talk Jackson Koivun, who, I don't know, the pressure had to be on that kid because he got interviewed so much, he got talked about so many times coming into that tournament, and it was his debut. But Preston Stout was super impressive. I don't know what his status is completely on going forward and playing some of these events. Guy played pretty well. It was an easy event, played pretty easy, but the guy top-twentied the John Deere. After, I think he played the Byron Nelson this year, outside of just being in the U.S. Open as an amateur. But top-twenty, can't argue with that. I'm trying to pull up his stats, just great ball striking, didn't really gain anything on the greens, he was pretty neutral on the greens, but he gained one point six five strokes over the field ball striking, a lot of those in his approach. And honestly, if he can hit the ball decently off the tee, he's going to be in good shape.
