The PGA Tour and DP World Tour’s strategic alliance will unite most of the planet’s best players this week at The Renaissance Club for the 2022 Genesis Scottish Open. This is the first time the event in North Berwick, Scotland will be co-sanctioned by the two tours as they bolster themselves against the LIV Golf tour. The result is that 14 of the world’s top 15 players — with Rory McIlroy the lone exception — are scheduled to compete in this week’s event. Matt Fitzpatrick, who reached a three-man playoff with Min Woo Lee and Thomas Detry at last year’s Scottish Open, will tee it up for the first time since his U.S. Open victory last month.

After spending time at FanSided and NBC Sports EDGE, McDonald joined CBS Sports as a golf writer in the spring of 2022. Now covering the sport from a broader perspective, McDonald still likes to dip his toes into the betting pools on a weekly basis on the PGA Tour.

Now, McDonald has studied the 2022 Scottish Open field and locked in his best bets, top sleepers and favorites to avoid. Head to…
