SportsLine golf expert Eric Cohen just locked in his PGA Tour best bets for the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club

The Scottish Open will once again be held at the Renaissance Club, a course that has plenty of links-style holes but also a few that are more parkland style. The main characteristic of this course is its pot bunkers. Golfers will have to, at all costs, avoid these small but deep pot bunkers, which effectively end up being a hazard.

McIlroy has played this event twice since he became co-sanctioned in 2022, winning in 2023 and finishing T-4 last year. He closed well at the U.S. Open and carried that over into the Travelers Championship where he tied for sixth, so he's gaining some momentum as he regains his focus before next week's Open.
