Matthieu Pavon
It's difficult not to be drawn toward Matthieu Pavon this week at the 2024 Scottish Open. Pavon has found his mark on the PGA Tour this season, but the books aren't buying into what they've seen, considering his long odds. Pavon is familiar with the course, and his consistency this season leads us to love his price to win outright and finish inside the top ten at +500.

Sahith Theegala
It hasn't been the best run for Sahith Theegala lately. His inconsistent play has added value to his number this week at the Scottish Open. Theegala is the type of talent that usually boasts much shorter odds, but that's not the case this week, considering he only has one top-15 finish in his last four starts. We're banking on Theegala finding some rhythm after some much-needed time off.

Nicolai Højgaard
It feels like it's only a matter of time before we see Nicolai Højgaard truly breakthrough. It's been difficult for him to find consistency on the PGA Tour this year, but his talent is undeniable. He finished sixth last year at this same event, and if we see him put a stamp on his 2024 season, we predict he'll do it here.

Thomas Detry
A lot of positive momentum should help build up Thomas Detry this week. Although Detry is still searching for his illustrious first PGA Tour victory, he's come very close, specifically back in 2021 when he lost in a playoff at this same event. Detry has been building steam and is playing some excellent golf, leading us to like the value price tag set here.

Aaron Rai
Aaron Rai is an interesting player to consider this week. Although it was part of the DP World Tour, Rai has already picked up a victory on this track. The competition level might not have been equivalent to the one he'll face this week, but he's at least demonstrated that he knows how to find success at this type of course. Rai's odds are right in the sweet spot for the kind of value we're looking for.
