Welcome to my weekly fantasy golf model for the 2026 Genesis Scottish Open!

Since March 2020, I've shared a weekly model which offers a clear-cut ranking system based on data points weighted in a formula. It's been a tremendous success. Winners typically rank inside the top 15 of our model, though, like any model, sometimes there are outlier champions.

Let me walk you through this week's results and how I get to them. You'll see our top 10 for free, and the rest of the model, including potential sleepers and value picks, is available for GNN members.

SAVE ON GNN MEMBERSHIP: Join now, and get 2 years for $70 OR 3 years for $100! (One year is $40.) Access all our winning tools and analysis!

How the rubric works

The biggest chunk of my rubric relies on strokes gained, as well our derivative, Quality Strokes Gained, which weights a player's strokes gained against the depth of field they face. The rubric looks at this data over the longer term and medium term to derive a player's quality across the tour and across different fields. I include specific weighting of strokes gained and Quality Strokes Gained against the field strength that week, creating a range of comparison to see how players do against particular competition.

Next, the rubric accounts for two factors I look at every week: current form in the last 10 PGA Tour events played and their average strokes gained on the host course in the last three years.

All told, the model is designed to point out quality players and boost those middling players who have good current form or good course history.

While I think a long-term view of a player's performance is the best way to measure their potential, there's no doubt that short-term heaters happen. To that end, for GNN members, I also have a short-term model that compares a player's performance to his peers over the last 10 PGA Tour events.

The 2026 ISCO Championship continues the PGA Tour season with the event at Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, Kentucky, welcoming 132 world-class players to the PGA Tour event.

The 2026 ISCO Championship betting odds indicate this week's favorite is Jackson Koivun, who comes in at +1600 betting odds.

Max Homa is 20-to-1 as he looks to build on a runner-up finish at the John Deere Classic last week.

Davis Thompson and Christiaan Bezuidenhout are also 20-to-1, as they look to thrive in a field of weaker players than they typically see.

2026 ISCO Championship betting picks

The ISCO Championship is the 29th event of the season, and the PGA Tour has a second event in Kentucky for those not in the Scottish Open.

The ISCO Championship is at this venue for the second year running, playing just over 7,000 yards and forcing players into layups and cutting doglegs. The rough is not easy.

Lee Hodges played well last week at TPC Deere Run, and he's an accurate driver, which is key at this golf course.

Ben James has been impressive so far in his few PGA Tour starts since turning pro through PGA Tour U, and his demonstrated ability gives him a better price than Koivun.

Thomas Rosenmueller played very well last week on the DP World Tour in his native Germany, and the former PGA Tour card holder should have lots of confidence.

2026 Genesis Scottish Open betting picks

The Genesis Scottish Open is the 28th event of the season, and the PGA Tour heads to Scotland to get ready for the Open.

The Genesis Scottish Open has been a great addition to the PGA Tour schedule, with some fascinating finishes over the last several years. Powerful players seem to do well here, but it's not a given.

Wyndham Clark has been good on this course, as his driver really isn't a big issue here, and he's been obviously great for the last two months or so.

Alex Fitzpatrick has been one of the best players on Tour since he's joined, and I think he'll feel more comfortable in the UK.

Eugenio Chacarra has won on a linksy layout before, and he's won twice on the DP World Tour in the last month. He's going to the PGA Tour next year.

The 2026 Amundi Evian Championship betting odds indicate this week's LPGA Tour betting favorite is Nelly Korda, who come in at 4-to-1 (+300) betting odds.

Jeeno Thitikul is next best on the odds board at 10-to-1 to start the week, and she looks to break through in a major for the first time in her career.

Haeran Ryu is sitting on 16-to-1, looking to go back-to-back in majors after having won the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

2026 Amundi Evian Championship betting picks

This week, the LPGA has its fourth of five majors, with the youngest major, the Amundi Evian Championship in France. The host course has been changed and toughened up a little bit.

Nelly Korda makes a ton of sense given her year, and I wouldn't be surprised at all to see her win.

Lottie Woad wasn't much at the Women's PGA Championship, but a tighter, shorter course should work for her game.

Ina Yoon has been brilliant in a pair of majors this year, and she can learn quickly from the nerves of having a big lead.

Esther Henseleit is a great horse-for-course play here this week, and she was a strong play at the Women's PGA.

The PGA Tour this week features the 2026 ISCO Championship starting on Thursday at Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, Kentucky.

My PGA Tour field ranking for ISCO Championship looks at the top 10 players in this 132-player field that brings together the best in the world for the last event before The Open.

The ISCO Championship marks the return of the PGA Tour to Kentucky for a co-sanctioned event with the DP World Tour.

Hurstbourne is just over 7,000 yards, yet it didn't give up crazy-low scores last year. It's a bit wonky, and keeping the ball in play with smart golf seems to be the key here.

Just a reminder that I make my expert picks looking at all fantasy leagues and formats. Whether you're playing in a fantasy golf leagues, betting on golf, or competing in a DFS (DraftKings, FanDuel) event, our picks highlight the top PGA Tour golfers to watch this week from our 2026 ISCO Championship rankings.

2026 ISCO Championship expert picks and rankings

1. Max Homa: Homa wound up the runner-up at the John Deere Classic, and it's a course he definitely likes. However, it's unclear what this means beyond TPC Deere Run.

2. Davis Thompson: Thompson seems to do so well in these weaker-field events, but he seems to thrive on go-low events, and I'm not convinced Hurstbourne is that kind of course.

3. Christiaan Bezuidenhout: He's made three cuts in a row, but that's all we really have as a weak case to like him this week, other than reltively strong experience.

4. Lee Hodges: Hodges seems to play his best golf in the Midwest, and this is another venue that demands some degree of accuracy, which he has while not smashing it.

5. Jackson Koivun: Koivun should not, under any circumstance, be the betting favorite this week. He's a great player in the making at the pro level.

6. Ben James: James has looked quite good in his first few professional starts coming out of college, and he's at a good price.

7. Zac Blair: Blair has been showing out well of late between the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour, so it can continue here this week.

8. Lucas Glover: Glover showed up well at TPC Deere Run, a place he loves, and he might thrive on a relatively short venue.

9. Ben Kohles: It's hard to be on Kohles coming off the heartache of what happened at the Deere, but he has been playing well of late.

10. William Mouw: We'll put Mouw on here as defending champion, as it's not entirely clear what kind of golfer really thrives here.

The PGA Tour this week features the 2026 Genesis Scottish Open starting on Thursday at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland.

My PGA Tour field ranking for Genesis Scottish Open looks at the top 10 players in this 156-player field that brings together the best in the world for the last event before The Open.

The Genesis Scottish Open marks the return of the PGA Tour to Scotland for a co-sanctioned event with the DP World Tour.

The Renaissance Club routing has been changed for this year, creating what the tournament feels will be a more intriguing last four holes. Still, there's almost always drama in this tournament until the very end.

Just a reminder that I make my expert picks looking at all fantasy leagues and formats. Whether you're playing in a fantasy golf leagues, betting on golf, or competing in a DFS (DraftKings, FanDuel) event, our picks highlight the top PGA Tour golfers to watch this week from our 2026 Genesis Scottish Open rankings.

2026 Genesis Scottish Open expert picks and rankings

1. Scottie Scheffler: Scheffler just cannot seem to be on the right side of variance this year, and that largely seems to come down to weaker putting and short game than last year.

2. Rory McIlroy: McIlroy has hit some magical shots here and done very well for himself, and he seems to embrace tough conditions more than he ever did.

3. Tommy Fleetwood: Fleetwood has been playing great, but don't you think winning the Open in your hometown the next week is a better cosmic play?

4. Xander Schauffele: In terms of horses for courses, there aren't many at Renaissance Club, but a winning Xander is one of them.

5. Wyndham Clark: Clark has been brilliant the last two months-ish, and he has a good record here that might surprise some.

6. Jon Rahm: Rating Rahm seems risky business this year, but he has been enjoying some time off post-US Open thud.

7. Matt Fitzpatrick: Fitz is off the highs of earlier in the year, but he does have a good record in this event that buoys him.

8. Chris Gotterup: The defending champion shot a Sunday 62 in the Quad Cities to earn a third win this year. Why can't he defend here, too?

9. Justin Rose: Rose is going to be a sentimental favorite next week at Birkdale, but he's playing well now and could do well this week.

10. Ludvig Aberg: Ludvig's errant driving proves not to be a big problem here, with a solid record in the event the last several years.

The LPGA Tour this week features the 2026 Amundi Evian Championship starting on Thursday at Evian Resort Golf Club in France.

My LPGA Tour field ranking for Amundi Evian Championship looks at the top 10 players in this 132-player field that brings together the best in the world for the fourth women's major of the year.

The Amundi Evian Championship marks the return of the LPGA Tour to France, where the host course has been toughened on several holes, including the par-5 finisher.

Grace Kim won here last year in a miracle in a playoff over Jeeno Thitikul, who is still searching for that first major title. With the threat of a Grand Slam off the table, will Nelly Korda feel even better about her chances?

Just a reminder that I make my expert picks looking at all fantasy leagues and formats. Whether you're playing in a fantasy golf leagues, betting on golf, or competing in a DFS (DraftKings, FanDuel) event, our picks highlight the top LPGA Tour golfers to watch this week from our 2026 Amundi Evian Championship rankings.

2026 Amundi Evian Championship expert picks and rankings

1. Nelly Korda: She's won basically everything in sight, or otherwise come in second place. She didn't quite have it for long enough at the Women's PGA, and probably being behind the 8-ball after Day 1 did her in.

2. Haeran Ryu: Closing has been a problem at times for Haeran, but she was nails down the stretch at the Women's PGA. Maybe that rips off the Band-Aid on future major wins.

3. Jeeno Thitikul: Eventually, Thitikul is going to win herself a major championship. She's had good opportunities here.

3. Lottie Woad: Woad has seemingly done well on tighter golf courses, and so this should play into her hands.

4. Ina Yoon: Yoon has played very well in two majors this year, and that seems to suggest good things again at this major.

5. Miyu Yamashita: There's a ton of confidence that comes from winning, and Yamashita was the beneficiary of Woad's final-hole mistake at the Meijer LPGA Classic.

6. Charley Hull: Hull was great at the US Women's Open but wasn't really in it at Hazeltine. Finished third here in 2022.

7. Esther Henseleit: The German finished T-15 at the Women's PGA and has quite a good record in the Evian.

8. Patty Tavatanakit: Patty T is awfully tough to predict, but she was third here in 2024, and she can play here with basically no driver.

9. Hyojoo Kim: Hyojoo lit up this place much earlier in her career, but she has slowed down some since her hot start this year.

10. Brooke Henderson: Henderson played great in Minnesota, and this is a place where she has won and contended multiple times.
