Many of the world’s top golfers are heading to Scotland this week for the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open, providing a chance for American players to adapt to possible jet lag and similar conditions ahead of the upcoming major tournament. Notable competitors include Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, presenting opportunities for other players to make their mark among the best.

Viktor Hovland is vying for success at this year’s Scottish Open, his fourth consecutive appearance at the event. After winning the Valspar Championship and placing third at the U.S. Open, Hovland aims to capitalize on his recent performances. Despite having a 35-1 shot at the title, he has yet to place higher than T-25 in previous attempts at this event.

According to statistical models, Hovland is viewed as a potential longshot contender. Matt Fitzpatrick, at 45-1 odds, and Robert MacIntyre, who won last year’s tournament, are also expected to perform favorably in front of local supporters.
