Ludvig Aberg Looking to Bounce Back at Genesis Scottish Open
Ludvig Aberg finished tied for 55th at the Travelers Championship last month and will now focus on preparing for this week's Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, United Kingdom. Aberg has nine top-25 finishes and one missed cut in 15 starts this season. He finished tied for eighth at last season's Genesis Scottish Open and tied for fourth in 2024. Over the past 12 months, Aberg ranks in the 59th percentile for greens in regulation on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This matters because over 34% of approach shots at last year's Genesis Scottish Open came from this distance.

Min Woo Lee Looking For a Spark at Scottish Open
As the last person to win this event before it became co-sanctioned with the PGA and DP World Tour, Min Woo Lee has struggled to have the same scoring ability at the Renaissance Club since. His best finish here since his victory has been a tie for 35th. This layout has consistently yielded the most success to bombers off the tee, which the Australian does with ease. For Lee, it's all about the flat stick, as he ranks 87th in strokes gained putting (-0.039) on the season. It's more worrisome that his putter has lost an average of 1.513 strokes on the greens over his last three starts, two of which resulted in missed cuts. In a field this stacked, the 27-year-old will need to have more than just distance to compete, which seems hard to trust right now.

Brooks Koepka Making Debut Appearance at This Week's Scottish Open
Given the hiatus that Brooks Koepka took from the PGA Tour when he jumped to LIV Golf, this will be the first time he is teeing it up at the Renaissance Club. He's coming off a missed cut at the US Open after injuring his wrist in Canada the week before. After being an approach play savant for much of the season, it's hard to know whether the -1.56 strokes gained on approach average at Shinnecock was due to lingering issues or just an off week. Since he wasn't creating much separation for himself on and around the greens, it's difficult to trust that his ball-striking is back to a level that can carry him as much as before. For most lineups, Koepka is better left on the bench until a better understanding of where his game stands can be determined.

Wyndham Clark is a Hard Name to Pass on at Scottish Open
Considering the incredible run of play over the last month and a half for Wyndham Clark, it's hard to imagine not giving him some DFS consideration as things move across the pond this week and next. It's the last two big-time golf events until the playoffs begin. The Renaissance Club has been a great venue for the US Open Champion, with finishes no worse than T25 in four career starts. He hasn't historically had the same long-iron prowess he's shown thus far in 2026, and has made what feels like every putt he's looked at over the last several events. For everything he's already accomplished this season, things could get even better if his game makes the trip over from the States. Play Clark with confidence this week.

Matt Fitzpatrick Remains a Solid DFS Option at Scottish Open
The solid form continued two weeks ago for Matt Fitzpatrick, finishing T5 at the Travelers Championship where he led the field in strokes gained from tee to green (2.35). It was the Englishman's third top five of the season not including his three victories. Being one of the most consistent players thus far in 2026, he has a great opportunity to end the year with POY honors should he perform well this week, and especially next week at the Open. Fitzpatrick has made his hay around the Renaissance Club with the flat stick traditionally, with a T4 and T6 finishes in two of four starts. Coming into Thursday swinging it as well as he is should continue to provide plenty of DFS upside.

Kristoffer Reitan Could be One to Watch at Genesis Scottish Open
Kristoffer Reitan has made a splash in 2026. The Norwegian golfer won the Truist Championship and has four Top 10 results in 17 PGA Tour events. Reitan is a fun golfer to watch who hits 312.6 yards off the tee (26th). Despite a 58.97% accuracy, Reitan's biggest asset is gaining 0.51 strokes to driving (13th). The putter was a major asset in Connecticut with Reitan gaining 1.79 strokes. Driver distance and accuracy has been on the plus side in four of the past five events. Reitan nearly finished in the Top 10 last year (T-13). The Renaissance Club is a course that suits Reitan well and Reitan could be a nice betting option given his international experience.

Shane Lowry Playing in Scotland for the First Time Since 2023
Shane Lowry usually skips the Genesis Scottish Open. The Irish golfer has two Top 10 results in 2026 and quite a few Top 30 results lately. However, he has not come close to winning an event since February (Pebble Beach and the Cognizant). Lowry was starting to gain momentum at the Travelers Championship but a closing 70 knocked him back a few pegs. Lowry has been in the red over his last three events when it comes to putting. Overall, he ranks 62nd in strokes gained to putting at 0.128. Lowry wastes putts early in events averaging 29.79 putts a round to open then 29.21 in Round 2. That cannot happen in Scotland this week or he is a likely fade for DFS purposes.

Si Woo Kim Trying to Erase Bad Final Round From Travelers Championship
Si Woo Kim was pretty much in contention when disaster struck in Connecticut. The South Korean golfer ended up with a 73 in the final round which dropped him outside the Top 25 and even Top 40 (T-43). The putter failed Kim quite a bit in that final round (-0.32 strokes gained overall). Kim ranks 104th overall in putting losing 0.158 strokes. The golfer has a mercurial driver accuracy of 70.1% in 2026 (third) but only drives the ball 299.9 yards. Kim is facing a longer course as far as the Renaissance Club at 7.237 yards. Kim is averaging 4.59 birdies a round (2nd) and a seventh-ranked scoring average of 69.23 keeps him in tournaments from a betting and DFS standpoint.

Tyrrell Hatton Looks to Keep Momentum Rolling in Scotland
Tyrrell Hatton took several weeks off after his performance at the US Open (T7). The English golfer has played overseas while playing three majors on the PGA Tour in 2026. His showing at the Masters was an eye-opener (T3). Those two majors saw Hatton finish off really well, including a 67 at Shinnecock. It is not a surprise that Hatton gains a ton of strokes when all the facets of his game are working. He will be one to watch after gaining more than a full stroke in putting in back-to-back events. A longer course like the Masters displayed Hatton's ability to hit fairways and set up for shorter putts. Once he got past that rough start, he was a different golfer. That makes him a good weekend DFS consideration, at the very least.

Rasmus Hojgaard Returns to Competitive Golf at Genesis Scottish Open
Rasmus Hojgaard needs the other parts of his game to be in form in Scotland. The Norwegian golfer took more than a month off for surgery to fix a ruptured eardrum. Hojgaard, before his hiatus, was one of the longest drivers on tour (321.4 yards - 6th). The problem is his accuracy which ranks a mere 143rd at 50%. He had been struggling before the time off with a missed cut and two finishes outside the Top 50. Approach to the green and putting dropped off a good deal leading up to his break. Hojgaard averaged 29.67 putts per round which led to a 70.39 scoring average. This week may be a time to watch him play and work the kinks out. Basically, fading him from a DFS or betting point of view may be prudent.

Ryan Gerard's Improved Putting is Key to Genesis Scottish Open
Ryan Gerard did not excel with putting in 2025. The young American golfer has gained 0.337 strokes to putting overall (31st). Gerard ranked 154th in this metric last year as he was getting used to the rigors of the PGA Tour. Gerard was well outside the Top 50 at the Genesis Scottish Open in 2025. Gerard drives the ball a respectable 303.8 yards and has a solid 63.34% accuracy. Again, the biggest improvement is in the putting. His putts per round starts out slow at 29.06 but comes down as the rounds go by. Do not forget the birdie or better percentage of 35.42% (9th) which is a huge improvement over 2025 (29.96%). Gerard has the potential to be a factor DFS-wise in Scotland.

Alex Fitzpatrick in Great Form Heading to Scotland
Alex Fitzpatrick started in April on the PGA Tour this year. The English golfer has five Top 10 finishes already including winning the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The younger Fitzpatrick is only 27 but he is showing the potential to win big events and maybe even a major. Some of the early numbers are off the charts. Fitzpatrick averages 310.7 yards a drive with a 70.92% accuracy. Greens in regulation for Fitzpatrick is up to 70.44% over 28 measured rounds. The younger brother of Matt could be a real factor from a betting standpoint this week. A Top 20 is still well into the plus money territory.

Dan Brown Welcoming the Genesis Scottish Open
Dan Brown has struggled mightily in his last two tournaments. The English golfer faces the Genesis Scottish Open this week. Renaissance Club is a modesty long 7.237 yard Par-70 course. Brown only averages 299.3 yards (118th) but has a decent 60.12% driver accuracy. Brown finished outside the Top 50 at this event in 2025. The good news is that Brown is close to home. The bad news is his overall form. Brown has only made six cut in 14 events in 2026 and 2 Top 25 results. Brown has had three subpar second rounds in his previous four events. It makes Brown a volatile DFS pick at best for Thursday but a fade for the rest of the tournament.

Michael Brennan Brings Elite Driving to John Deere Classic
Michael Brennan's first full year on Tour has been up and down, as he has made 11 of 17 cuts while recording three finishes inside the top 30. He now turns to the John Deere Classic, where he will be making his tournament debut. TPC Deere Run typically rewards precise short-iron play, driving accuracy, and players who can make plenty of birdies. Brennan ranks 101st on approach (-0.049 strokes per round), 59th in driving accuracy, and 44th in birdie-or-better percentage. Where he stands out is off the tee, where he ranks second on Tour (+0.803 strokes per round) and third in driving distance. If he can continue to gain significant strokes off the tee, he will just need the rest of his game to come along to contend here. At $8,500 on DraftKings, he offers strong upside for DFS lineups.

Sungjae Im Remains a Volatile Play at TPC Deere Run
Sungjae Im has been in steady form lately, making 10 of his last 12 cuts, including three top-10 finishes. He now turns to the John Deere Classic, where he has recorded a T12 and a missed cut in his two most recent appearances. TPC Deere Run typically rewards accurate short-iron play, driving accuracy, and players who can make plenty of birdies. Im ranks just 144th in strokes gained on approach (-0.633 per round), 65th in driving accuracy, and 96th in birdie-or-better percentage. Where he has excelled is with his short game, ranking 14th around the green (+0.346) and 32nd in putting (+0.336). That should help him this week, but he'll likely need to find more with his irons to contend in what is typically a low-scoring event. At $8,400 on DraftKings, Im offers plenty of upside, but he remains one of the most volatile players on Tour.
