If you’re looking for some great betting opportunities at the upcoming British Open at Royal Troon, consider placing your bets on players other than Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.
Scheffler is currently the clear favorite heading into the final major of 2024, with McIlroy following closely behind after his strong performance at the Scottish Open. Scheffler is listed at +550 to win his second major of the season, while McIlroy is at +800 to break his major drought that dates back to the 2014 British Open at Royal Liverpool.
After a disappointing performance at the U.S. Open, Scheffler bounced back with a win at the Travelers Championship. McIlroy, on the other hand, missed out on a playoff at the U.S. Open but impressed with a top-five finish at the Scottish Open.
Following Scheffler and McIlroy on the odds board are players like Xander Schauffele at +1200, Ludvig Åberg at +1400, and Bryson DeChambeau and Collin Morikawa at +1600. Morikawa, in particular, could be a sneaky value bet, especially if you wager on him to finish in the top 10 at +150.
Other notable players in the mix include Tyrrell Hatton at +2200, Tommy Fleetwood at +2500, and Scottish Open winner Robert MacIntyre at +3300. Even Tiger Woods, with odds of +20000, is hoping to make a mark at the British Open despite a challenging season so far.
