Scottish Open Odds and Predictions

Scottish Open picks from SBR's Esten McLaren:

Pick to Win: Robert MacIntyre (+3000 DraftKings)

"MacIntyre enters this week at No. 14 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR). A two-time PGA Tour winner last season, he rose to a career-best 12th in the OWGR following his runner-up finish in the U.S. Open, before a T-17 finish in the Travelers Championship Signature Event.

The Scotsman returns home after taking the last two weeks off of competitive golf. He held the late clubhouse lead of the U.S. Open only to watch J.J. Spaun steal victory from the scorer's table.

Adding to MacIntyre's resume for this week - and this pick recommendation - is the runner-up finish at The Renaissance Club that preceded last year's win on home soil. In all, he has averaged 1.62 strokes gained on the field per round across 20 career rounds at this venue.

He has gained strokes in all key metrics across his last 20 measured rounds (including an average of 0.38 SG: approach per round), and he ranks 21st on Tour in proximity from 150-175 yards - this week's key distance."

Long-Shot Pick: Ryan Fox (+6500 FanDuel)

"These are extremely generous +6500 odds for one of this year's two-time winners on the PGA Tour. bet365 has +4500 odds (2.17% implied win probability) for Fox to win, and I'd deem that the more accurate number. We can get an extra $200 in profit with this ticket at FanDuel.

Fox is second on the PGA Tour this season in proximity on approach shots from 150-175 yards. He's played at The Renaissance Club each of the past three years, with a top result of T-12 two years ago. He's gained strokes in all key metrics across his last 20 rounds, including 0.50 SG: approach and 0.78 SG: tee-to-green."

Prop Pick: Tom Kim top 10 finish (+700 bet365)

"The 2025 golf season hasn't been overly kind to Kim. He has fallen from No. 21 to No. 61 in the OWGR since the end of last year. His best finish of the season was a T-7 in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February. That was his only top-10 finish to date.

But a return to The Renaissance Club should bring a change in the tide. Kim leads all golfers in this field with an average of 2.23 strokes gained across his 12 career rounds at this venue. He finished third in his 2022 debut at the Scottish Open, with a T-6 two years ago and a T-15 last year.

Despite his struggles this season, he ranks 32nd on the PGA Tour in proximity from 150-175 yards. His approach shots and short game have been his biggest strengths of late, and those are necessary for any success in links golf.

Buy the dip with these inflated +700 odds for a top-10 finish. FanDuel has this prop priced at +550, so we can get an extra $15 in profit on a winning $10 bet at bet365."
