Betting the Genesis Scottish Open: The best bets, DFS tips and fades
ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- The key to success at The Renaissance Club in the Genesis Scottish Open will be aggressive driving combined with effective putting, especially converting 18-25 foot birdie putts, as weather conditions are expected to be mild without strong winds.
- Scottie Scheffler is the top pick due to his elite ball striking and improving putting form, making him the favorite to separate himself from the field and contend strongly for the win.
- Tommy Fleetwood and Ludvig Åberg are also strong contenders, with Fleetwood’s balanced game and solid Scottish Open history and Åberg’s length and efficiency off the tee fitting well with the course demands despite recent putting struggles.
- Rory McIlroy is favored over Xander Schauffele in a head-to-head matchup due to superior ball striking and recent form, though the betting price makes the wager less attractive.
- Dark horse DFS picks include Doug Ghim for his driving ability and Eugenio Chacarra for his recent Euro Tour success, while Bernd Wiesberger is a fade candidate despite past success due to inconsistent recent form and driving.
