For many, it's the final tune-up ahead of the last major on the PGA Tour's 2025 calendar. For others, Sunday in Scotland means the top three golfers not already in the British Open field will earn their way into some tee times at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

In his limited opportunities to close, Gotterup has shown himself more than capable. He has co-led/led twice after 54 holes in his TOUR career and won both events. He won the 2024 ONEFlight Myrtle Beach Classic by six shots. Gotterup is now 39th in the FedExCup.

Chris Gotterup, an unheralded pro in his second PGA Tour season, topped world No. 2 Rory McIlroy to win the Scottish Open.

Playing alongside fellow 54-hole co-leader Rory McIlroy in the final group of the final round of the Genesis Scottish Open, Gotterup closed in 4-under 66 to post 15-under 265 at The Renaissance Club, good for a two-stroke victory and 500 FedExCup points. It pays out $1,575,000 in prize money allocated from a purse of $9 million.
