Other sponsor exemptions include Padraig Harrington, who won last week’s U.S. Senior Open, multiple-time PGA Tour winner Charley Hoffman, former major champion Danny Willett and Scotland’s Scott Jamieson.
BEST BETS: Scheffler (+490 at DraftKings) has a best finish of T3 in 2023 in four previous event starts. He has four runner-ups since winning the American Express. … McIlroy (+960) won the event in 2023 has gone T4-T2 in the two versions since. … Jon Rahm (+1275) tees it up for the first time since a missed cut at the U.S. Open but did finish second at the PGA Championship. … Matt Fitzpatrick (+2100) has two wins and a pair of runner-ups in 2026 as he comes off a solo fourth at the Travelers. … Gotterup (+2700) is coming off his third win of the year as he seeks to become the first player to successfully defend at the Scottish Open. … Wyndham Clark (+3300) has two wins, including the U.S. Open, among four top-5s in his past five starts. … Robert MacIntyre (+3700) hasn’t had his best form through most of 2026, but nothing revs the fiery Scotsman up like playing in his national open.
