Scottish Open 2024 odds, picks, lineups: Surprise predictions from golf model called 13 majors
Rory McIlroy enters the 2024 Scottish Open third in the FedEx Cup standings after two wins and five top-10s this season. He is the defending champion of the event and is fresh off a runner-up finish at the US Open. McIlroy will undoubtedly be among the top contenders for the 2024 Scottish Open when the tournament begins at The Renaissance Club on Thursday, July 11. McIlroy, a 26-time PGA Tour winner, is listed as a 7-1 favorite in the 2024 Scottish Open odds.
Next up on the PGA odds table are Xander Schauffele (8-1), Collin Morikawa (12-1), Ludvig Aberg (14-1) and Viktor Hovland (20-1). Should your 2024 Scottish Open picks include backing one of the favorites, or should you target a potential underdog like Adam Scott (80-1) or Will Zalatoris (90-1)?

Top Predictions for the Scottish Open 2024
The model predicted a big surprise at the 2024 Scottish Open: Viktor Hovland, the reigning FedEx Cup champion and one of the favorites, missed out on a top-10 finish. Hovland has only had one top-10 finish this season, a T-3 at the PGA Championship in May.
Hovland’s struggles can be attributed to his inability to score. Despite ranking in the top 10 in strokes gained: driving (.671) and putting average (1.712), Hovland has a scoring average of 70.38 this season, which ranks him 107th on the PGA Tour. He has also finished T-25 or worse in each of his last two starts at the Scottish Open, which doesn’t bode well for Hovland’s chances of finishing atop the leaderboard. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: Corey Conners, a 45-1 underdog, is in a strong race to win the title. He has a better chance of winning than his odds suggest, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a big payday.
To score well at The Renaissance Club, players will need to be extremely accurate with their irons, and few do it better than Conners. The 32-year-old Canadian enters this week’s event ranked fourth in strokes gained: approach greens (0.854) and seventh in greens in regulation percentage (70.90%). He’s also very accurate off the tee, ranking 17th in total strokes (105) and 23rd in driving accuracy (69.07%). Those impressive stats, combined with his high odds, make him a strong value pick for your 2024 Scottish Open bets. See who else to support here.
