Rory McIlroy failed to make the cut in the Open Championship at Royal Portrush in his native Northern Ireland. McIlroy fired a 79 and sat at 8-over after the first day of competition and sat 13 shots off the lead after just the first round.

McIlroy said he could hear the excitement in the voices of friends talking about his Masters win. And there’s the anticipation of two weeks of a different brand of golf, the Scottish Open that starts Thursday and then the British Open at Royal Portrush in his native Northern Ireland.

Rory McIlroy and fun last crossed paths weeks ago, but the 36-year-old Northern Irishman vows to change that at the Genesis Scottish Open this week.

The Scottish Open, which is co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour, will be held again at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick. The ISCO moves to Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, Kentucky, after seven years at Keene Trace. Here’s how you can watch both tournaments (all times EDT; stream links added when available).

Scottish Open picks and predictions as redemption could be in order at the Renaissance Club this week, with picks for a winner, Top 10, One and Done and more.
