The PGA Tour is set to begin its first of back-to-back tournaments in Europe with the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, on Thursday. The 2025 Scottish Open will be co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour for the fourth straight year.

Lack: Maverick McNealy (80-1, FanDuel) — Maverick McNealy has had an incredibly impressive 2025, where he has found himself agonizingly to the winner’s circle. McNealy’s prowess off the tee and elite putting upside should pay dividends at the Renaissance Club, where he has already recorded a top-20 finish in his only appearance.

Sepp Straka sets the early target on the opening day of the Scottish Open as world number one Scottie Scheffler is ominously well placed on a congested leaderboard.

In 2024, MacIntyre became the first Scot to win the Scottish Open since Colin Montgomery in 1999. MacIntyre won with a score of 18-under, one stroke ahead of Adam Scott.
