<p>With the Open Championship set to take place next weekend, most of the biggest names in golf have already made their way to the UK. Some golfers are simply heading over there to get some practice rounds in, while others are looking to compete to stay in top shape.</p>



<p>The PGA Tour will be putting on the Genesis Scottish Open this weekend, and there is a loaded group of golfers ready to compete. It’s no surprise who the betting favorite is this weekend, but there are some other big names ready to compete as well.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here is a look at the top betting odds to win the Genesis Scottish Open this weekend. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi">Sign up with BetDSI for your 200% Cash Bonus</a></h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Dynamic Duo</h2>



<p>When looking at the <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">betting</a> odds to win the Genesis Scottish Open, there are two names that stand out right away. It’s no surprise that Rory McIlroy is the betting favorite to win this tournament at +650 as he is playing close to home in this event. </p>



<p>McIlroy is going to be one of the top picks to win the Open Championship next weekend as well, and he is going to be trying to get his game in top form by playing this weekend. He will have to play well to win though as Xander Schauffele isn’t too far behind with betting odds set at +750 to come up with the win.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There could be other golfers that make a run at winning the tournament in Scotland, but these are the two golfers that are expected to win.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Names to Watch</h2>



<p>While there are a couple of big <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">betting</a> favorites in this tournament, you have to look deeper in the odds as well. Since Scottie Scheffler is not teeing it up in the event this weekend, all of the players feel like they will have a chance to win. </p>



<p>Collin Morikawa is next on the list at +1200, and Ludvig Aberg could get into the mix at +1400 as well. It’s been a great year for both of those players, but each is looking to pick up some wins along the way.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here is a look at some other names of players to watch:</p>



<ul>
<li>Tommy Fleetwood +2000</li>



<li>Viktor Hovland +2000</li>



<li>Tom Kim +2500</li>



<li>Min Woo Lee +2500</li>



<li>Hideki Matsuyama +2800</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Momentum For McIlroy</h2>



<p>Winning this tournament is going to be the main goal for every golfer this weekend, but everyone is also simply trying to get momentum on their side. This golf course is going to play similarly to the course at the Open Championship, and it’s going to require a ton of concentration.&nbsp;</p>



<p>No one knows this style of golf better than Rory McIlroy, and he is going to have a massive following this weekend as well. There will be some other golfers that make things interesting this weekend, but it’s hard to see them coming up with the win.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There is still plenty of value in getting McIlroy at +650 to win the Scottish Open, and that is the betting pick that should be made.</p>
