The PGA Tour this week features the 2026 Genesis Scottish Open starting on Thursday at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland.<\/p>\n
My PGA Tour field ranking for Genesis Scottish Open looks at the top 10 players in this 156-player field<\/a> that brings together the best in the world for the last event before The Open.<\/p>\n The Genesis Scottish Open<\/a> marks the return of the PGA Tour to Scotland for a co-sanctioned event with the DP World Tour.<\/p>\n The Renaissance Club routing has been changed for this year, creating what the tournament feels will be a more intriguing last four holes. Still, there’s almost always drama in this tournament until the very end.<\/p>\n Just a reminder that I make my expert picks looking at all fantasy leagues and formats. Whether you’re playing in a fantasy golf leagues, betting on golf, or competing in a DFS (DraftKings, FanDuel) event, our picks highlight the top PGA Tour golfers to watch this week from our 2026 Genesis Scottish Open rankings.<\/p>\n 2026 Genesis Scottish Open expert picks and rankings<\/p>\n 1. Scottie Scheffler<\/a>: Scheffler just cannot seem to be on the right side of variance this year, and that largely seems to come down to weaker putting and short game than last year.<\/p>\n 2. Rory McIlroy<\/a>: McIlroy has hit some magical shots here and done very well for himself, and he seems to embrace tough conditions more than he ever did.<\/p>\n 3. Tommy Fleetwood<\/a>: Fleetwood has been playing great, but don’t you think winning the Open in your hometown the next week is a better cosmic play?<\/p>\n 4. Xander Schauffele<\/a>: In terms of horses for courses, there aren’t many at Renaissance Club, but a winning Xander is one of them.<\/p>\n 5. Wyndham Clark<\/a>: Clark has been brilliant the last two months-ish, and he has a good record here that might surprise some.<\/p>\n SAVE ON GNN MEMBERSHIP:<\/a> Join now, and get 2 years for $70 OR 3 years for $100!

Jon Rahm<\/a>: Rating Rahm seems risky business this year, but he has been enjoying some time off post-US Open thud.<\/p>\n 7. Matt Fitzpatrick<\/a>: Fitz is off the highs of earlier in the year, but he does have a good record in this event that buoys him.<\/p>\n 8. Chris Gotterup<\/a>: The defending champion shot a Sunday 62 in the Quad Cities to earn a third win this year. Why can’t he defend here, too?<\/p>\n
