The Scottish Open has become one of the most underrated tournaments on the golf calendar. Played at the picturesque Renaissance Club on Scotland's 'Golf Coast,' the Scottish Open has become a favorite for players, fans and bettors alike, and it is the perfect tune-up event for next week's Open Championship at Royal Portrush. Not only does it allow players to get accustomed to the links-style courses that dominate the golf landscape across the pond, but it also allows fans and bettors to adjust to the time difference so they're ready for the final major of the season. A lot of the 'warm-up events' for majors will feature paltry fields that are wanting for star power, but the Scottish Open boasts an elite field headlined by Scottie Scheffler (+500) and 2023 champion Rory McIlroy (+950). Links golf is often chaotic, and can produce surprising results, but since the Scottish Open became a co-sanctioned event between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour in 2022 it has been pretty chalky. Robert MacIntyre bucked that trend as a 45/1 outsider last year, but the two previous winners were McIlroy and Xander Schauffele, and big names like Scheffler, Tommy Fleetwood, Ludvig Aberg and Collin Morikawa dominated the leaderboard. And while that won't stop us from trying to find a couple of long shots to back this week, it does mean we'll start our card with a player closer to the top of the board. 2025 Scottish Open Picks Collin Morikawa (25/1, BetMGM) It's been an eventful few weeks for Collin Morikawa, but the World No. 5 got his game together at the Rocket Classic, finishing T8. That was an encouraging sign for the 2021 British Open Champion, as it was his first tournament since separating from Joe Greiner after just five tournaments together. Morikawa's tee-to-green game is elite, and he's an obvious fit for links-style golf with a Claret Jug on his mantle and T4 finish here last year. Sungjae Im has been hot and cold all season. Marc Lebryk-Imagn Images Sungjae Im (140/1, bet365) A couple of years ago, it felt like Sungjae Im was one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour. The South Korean seemingly played every week, and he rarely looked out of sorts. This year has been a different story. Im has been a boom or bust player this season, with a handful of impressive performances (T5 at the Masters, third-place at the Sentry and T4 at the Farmers Insurnace) mixed in with six missed cuts and a handful of finishes outside the top 50. Perhaps a change in scenery will do Im wonders. Not only did he finish T4 here in 2024, but he followed that up with a T7 at the 2024 Open Championship, his third top-25 finish in four attempts at the Claret Jug. Betting on golf? Richard Mansell (350/1, bet365) If you do your homework, you'll find some terrific numbers on DP World Tour players with tournament-winning upside, like Richard Mansell. Not only did Mansell win the Singapore Classic back in March, but he also posted a T10 finish at this event last year. As an Englishman, Mansell will be more than comfortable playing on this kind of setup, which significantly levels the playing field against a lot of the players shipping in from the PGA Tour this week.

John Deere Classic Favorite Among PGA Tour Golfers Who Surprisingly Miss Cut
John Deere Classic Favorite Among PGA Tour Golfers Who Surprisingly Miss Cut originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Sometimes, the Fourth of July fireworks arrive a day late and hit your favorite golfers square in the FedExCup standings. The John Deere Classic looked ready for a typical birdie-fest, but by Friday afternoon, some of the tournament's top bets were already packing their bags. Advertisement The cut line danced all day between 4-under and 5-under before finally settling at 5-under, tying last year's record. By then, a few big names had already stumbled. Ben Griffin, Sungjae Im, Jason Day and Michael Kim, all highly ranked in the FedExCup, couldn't find enough birdies to stay alive for the weekend. Griffin, who entered the week as the No. 6 player in the FedExCup, shocked many by missing the cut. Same for Sungjae Im (No. 24), Jason Day (No. 28) and Michael Kim (No. 30). A brutal afternoon at TPC Deere Run didn't spare anyone. Even the course's perfect conditions couldn't rescue these guys. PGA Tour pro Ben Griffin hits his ball from the 9th tee box during the second round of the Rocket Classic at the Detroit Golf Club© David Rodriguez Munoz / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images While the favorites struggled, Doug Ghim played steady golf to hold the midway lead at 12-under. Defending champ Davis Thompson and Max Homa sit one shot back, ready for a weekend shootout. Advertisement Lucas Glover, who won here in 2021, found his groove again with a second-round 64. He'll start the weekend six shots off the pace but with confidence brewing. "Golf course is absolutely perfect," Glover said after his round. "Definitely shoot too low." The oddsmakers had the favorites riding high. According to Griffin opened at +1600, Day at +2200, Im at +3500 and Kim at +4500. None of them will see Sunday at Deere Run. That's golf for you. One day you're a favorite. The next, you're flying home early while the leaderboard marches on without you.
