Last updated:

Resident betting expert Tom Jacobs picks out his top Genesis Scottish Open betting tips ahead of the DP World Tour Rolex Series event…
The eyes of the golfing world turn to Scotland for the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open, where a stellar cast line up on the North Berwick links for the annual Open Championship dress rehearsal that kicks off the DP World Tour’s ‘Closing Swing’.
Of course, the Scottish Open is far more than a mere warm-up. Steeped in 42 years of history and boasting an illustrious roll call of former champions, it continues to be one of the most prestigious events on the global golfing calendar.
Co-sanctioned also by the PGA Tour, the Scottish Open is the third of the five events that make up the DP World Tour’s Rolex Series, offering considerably elevated prize funds of approximately three times the size of regular season events.
Eight of the world’s top 10 players and 13 of the top 20 will be in action when the tournament kicks off on 10 July. That includes the winners of this year’s three majors – Rory McIlroy, World No.1 Scottie Scheffler, and reigning Open Champion, Xander Schauffele.
