Coming off of a victory at the Genesis Scottish Open, Chris Gotterup is listed at +9000 to win the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club. In the past year, Gotterup has competed in 27 events. He won one, his average finish was 28th, and he posted the best score of the day four times.

Chris Gotterup had a plane ticket for California to play an opposite-field event in Lake Tahoe. The only change in itinerary would be to take down Rory McIlroy at the Scottish Open before a sellout crowd expecting the Masters champion to claim his 30th title on the PGA Tour.
