Winless pro is our long game

The PGA Tour is in Scotland this week for the 2024 Genesis Scottish Open, and we're looking at the undefeated champion as our long shot to win. Here are our long-standing picks, Genesis Scottish Open odds, betting favorites and everything else you need to know.

Genesis Scottish Open odds: Long bet

Our long-term pick for this week's Scottish Open is Denny McCarthy, who comes into the tournament with +6600 odds to win.

McCarthy has appeared in this slot before, and while he has yet to enter and win his first PGA Tour event, it seems like he keeps getting closer.

So far this season, he has six top-25 finishes, three top-10s and a runner-up finish at the Valero Texas Open. Just last week, McCarthy scored a T7 at the John Deere Classic. He's going to win a PGA Tour event soon, and he's in form right now. Why not this week?

If you bet $10 on McCarthy to win and cash it out, you'll win $660. For insurance, consider placing an extra small bet on McCarthy for top 10 and top 20 finishes.

Looking for a long bet on the Genesis Scottish Open? This week's honorees are Adam Scott (+6600) and Jordan Spieth (+5500).

Genesis Scottish Open odds: Favorites

Rory McIlroy makes his first start since the 2024 US Open this week, and is the pre-tournament betting favorite with +700 odds to win,

Xander Schauffele, the reigning PGA champion, comes in second at +800, with Collin Morikawa in third at +1400,
