SportsLine golf expert Eric Cohen just locked in his PGA Tour best bets for the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club

Following the first round of the Genesis Scottish Open, Michael Kim said he couldn't understand the criticism of the Renaissance Club.

Sepp Straka had eight birdies in his round of 64, also joined by Nico Echavarria and Victor Perez atop the leaderboard alongside Knapp. Four other players were one shot behind, while Scottie Scheffler had to settle for a 67 and was three back.

A lot of the “warm-up events” for majors will feature paltry fields that are wanting for star power, but the Scottish Open boasts an elite field headlined by Scottie Scheffler (+500) and 2023 champion Rory McIlroy (+950).
