Scottish Open Tips

Close effort back in 2024 when 4th on fourteen under, but probably could have won it if not for the three-over implosion on the final day. Decent all-round effort last year to take 8th.

Xander Schauffele looks a solid outright option at The Renaissance Club. His blend of control, patience, and proven links-style scoring gives him a clear winning route. He already has a Scottish Open win on this course, and that matters at a venue where positioning, approach play, and handling slower fescue greens are all important. Schauffele's game is not built on one volatile strength. He can gain off the tee, stay disciplined with his irons, and produce enough putting to finish the job. The top of the market is strong, so he needs to beat several elite names, but at this price he appeals as the best balance of course fit, class, and win equity.

Is second for eagles percentgae this year and finished t4 int his event last year so will look to find that form here.

Robert Mcintyre is looking to make history and back to back victories returning here after being in form on the open and will want to win yhis way he did 2 years ago.

Cole has been playing well recently and lost to Henley in a play off. Had a 65 and a 63 last week so can go birdie fest but needs avoid significant errors.

6th most rounds in the sixties this year and has the most eagles on tour, however is very inconsistent so needs to limit his miatakes as much as can here.

Yet to win on the PGA tour but was multiple winner on European tour so will look to secure his maiden title here.
