Favorites and Odds to Win

The betting odds are out, and Rory McIlroy (+680) is the pre-tournament favorite with the best odds to win. McIlroy captured his 24th PGA Tour victory last week at the Scottish Open, beating Bob MacIntyre by one shot thanks to a birdie-birdie finish.

Scottie Scheffler (+730) trails closely behind McIlroy. Scheffler has been on one of the most impressive runs in recent memory, closing out his last seven tournaments with a T5 finish or better. Scheffler hasn’t finished outside the T25 in 18-straight events and has made the cut in all 19 tournaments he’s teed it up in this season.

Spain’s Jon Rahm (+1250) trailed the top two favorites by a considerable margin. Rahm won his second major in April at Augusta National but has played sparsely since slipping on the Green Jacket. The last time we saw the No. 2 player in the world was at the Travelers Championship at the end of June.

Smith (+1675) and Brooks Koepka (+1950) close out the top five favorites over at MyBookie.ag. Smith is coming off a win at LIV London earlier this month, while Koepka aims to add his first Claret Jug to his four major victories.

The Open Championship Betting Picks

There are three players we like this week to win the 151st Open Championship.

Rory McIlroy (+680) – The consensus pick and favorite this week, McIlroy is trying to win at Hoylake for the second time. He won his first and only Open Championship on this course in 2014, beating Rickie Fowler and Sergio Garcia by two.

With his win last week at the Scottish Open, McIlroy looks locked in and comes in riding a streak of six-straight finishes inside the top 10. The 34-year-old has finished inside the top 10 at the Open Championship in six of the 13 tournaments he’s played in.

Viktor Hovland (+2100) – Hovland is a perfect 19 for 19 in made cuts this season and added his fourth career victory to when he took home the Memorial Tournament in early June. The Norwegian has shown up in the three majors in 2023, with a T7 at the Masters, T2 at the PGA Championship, and 19th at the U.S. Open. The 25-year-old is close to his first major win.

Rickie Fowler (+2300) – Another golfer still searching for his first major, Fowler has refound his game and got back into the Winner’s Circle with his victory at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. He knows the course, finishing T2 the last time the Open was played here.
