The 2023 Genesis Scottish Open returns to The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, for the fifth consecutive year. The tournament is a co-sanctioned event between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, as well as one of the DP World Tour’s five Rolex Series events. Also, golf fans get a pair of PGA Tour events this week with the Barbasol Championship and the Genesis Scottish Open.
Since moving to a links-style golf course, the event has been an appealing tournament to players looking for a tune-up prior to The Open Championship the following week. The four-day individual stroke play event begins on Thursday, July 13th, and concludes on Sunday, July 16th.
Xander Schauffele is the defending champion and returns this year to defend his title. The win was the second of 2022 and the second international PGA Tour win of his career (2018 WGC-HSBC Champions in China). Schauffele tallied a four-day score of 273 (seven-under) to defeat Kurt Kitayama by one stroke.
Let’s take a look at the top players for the 2023 Genesis Scottish Open so you can wager against their PGA Tour lines.

PGA Tour Genesis Scottish Open | One of five tournaments of the Rolex Series
Renaissance Club | North Berwick, Scotland
July 13–16, 2023
The Renaissance Club
The Renaissance Club opened its doors in 2008 and was designed by American golf course architect Tom Doak. The layout was carved out of 300 acres of pine trees and sits right next door to Muirfield. Some of those trees remain on the property in strategic locations, giving the Renaissance Club a unique look compared to the tree-less layouts around the area.
On the scorecard, the course can stretch to over 7,300 in length and plays as a par-71. Like many of the courses along the coast of the United Kingdom, weather can play a major role in the scores for the week. Bernard Wiesberger won this event, firing a 22-under par in 2019, while Schauffele carded a seven-under for the win last year.
Genesis Scottish Open Field
Many of the world’s best golfers will play this week to get acclimated to the links style of golf as well as the weather. Only Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith are players ranked inside the top 10 in the world, not in action this week.
Nine of the top 10 ranked players in the Race to Dubai Rankings on the DP World Tour are teeing it up, including the likes of Adrian Meronk, Victor Perez, and Min Woo Lee.
Other notables in the field include rookie Ludvig Aberg, who’s made the cut in all four PGA Tour events since turning pro. Rickie Fowler is back in action for the first time since winning the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Fowler won the Scottish Open in 2015 at Gullane Golf Club.

Genesis Scottish Open Betting Favorites
Scheffler (+660) headlines the betting favorites heading into the tournament. The two-time winner this season is looking to shake off a missed cut in this event last season. McIlroy, the early favorite for the Open Championship next week, is behind Scheffler at +920.
Patrick Cantlay (+1375) comes in at third, looking for his first victory of the season. Schauffele (+1475) looks to defend his win but drew a tough tee time with an afternoon round Friday when the winds are expected to be at their worst.
The top five concludes with Tyrrell Hatton (+1675), who has been playing excellent golf on the PGA Tour and is knocking on the door of a victory.
