The top three golfers in the world are set to compete at The Renaissance Club for the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open, a key event co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and DP World Tour. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, coming off a win at the PGA Championship, heads into the tournament as the +360 favorite, meaning a bet of $100 would yield $360 in return if he wins. Following him is Rory McIlroy, the reigning Masters champion at +750, and Xander Schauffele with odds of 20-1.

Defending champion Robert MacIntyre is also back, looking to repeat his success after placing at 33-1 odds. Before you finalize your betting choices for this tournament, check out the insights and predictions from golf expert Eric Cohen.

Cohen, who hosts SportsLine’s Early Wedge Best Bets Show and is an astute golf bettor, successfully predicted the outright winners of eight tournaments over the past three seasons, including Justin Thomas at the RBC Heritage and Ben Griffin at the Charles Schwab Challenge. Following his picks has proven to be a profitable strategy for sports bets.

Now, Cohen has released his 2025 Scottish Open predictions, singling out bets to consider and those to avoid, including a noteworthy fade of Scheffler, despite his impressive record of top finishes and three tournament wins over the past nine events.

“I believe there are much better values on the board, even though another top-10 for Scheffler seems likely,” Cohen stated.

Cohen also has locked in a longshot pick at 90-1 odds, indicating there are good vibes surrounding his performance. For the complete list of predictions, visit SportsLine.
