The 2024 Open Championship

Tomorrow’s Open Championship, commonly referred to as the British Open, is the final major championship on the calendar. Royal Troon will play host for the first time since 2016, when Henrick Stenson out-dueled Phil Mickelson in one of the most famous head-to-head showdowns in history. This year is sure to unveil new storylines, as the world’s best golfers all try to claim the Claret Jug 🏆

• World #1 Scottie Scheffler is the heavy favorite (+450) and will try to rebound after a disappointing showing at the US Open

• Bryson DeChambeau (+1800) will be looking to stay in form after an impressive showing in route to the US Open title

• Rory McIlroy (+850) will be attempting to shake off the heart break suffered on the 72nd hole at Pinehurst

Royal Troon Golf Club will offer a few stand out features to draw in viewers throughout the week. First and most famously, the the short par-3 known as the Postage Stamp. The hole is only 120 yards long but is surrounded by bunkers and runoffs, making it a mental battle for the golfers and an entertaining watch for the crowd 👀

In addition to the Postage Stamp, Troon will also put into the play the longest hole in Open Championship history. The par-5 6th hole will stretch all the way to 623 yards 🙏

Favorite Outright Bets

The 2024 golf season early on was defined by Scottie Scheffler and his dominance, but now with two straight majors seeing someone else win, there are a number of golfers in play to capture the title this week in Scotland 💰

⛳ Collin Morikawa: +1600

The two time major champion comes in with great recent form. He’s finished inside the top-20 in all seven of his previous starts, including a 4th place finish last week in Scotland at the Genesis Scottish Open. Morikawa has proven he knows how to win majors, and that experience will be needed down the stretch this Sunday as he looks to claim his 3rd

⛳ Tony Finau: +5000

While nothing in golf could seem like more of a waste than betting Finau at a major, it is hard to deny that he is trending in the right direction. He’s had three straight top-10 finishes, two at signature events and a 3rd at the US Open. It also doesn’t hurt his case that he’s made the cut 6 out of 7 times at the Open, which includes two top-10s

⛳ Akshay Bhatia: +11000

My longshot pick this week is the young lefty. It is very common to see a longshot contend and even win the Open. Last year, for example, Brian Harman won the Open at odds of +120,000. Oh…and he’s a lefty as well. Bhatia won on the PGA Tour earlier this season and followed that up with a top-5 finish in each of his last two starts

For My Parlay Gurus

We’re back with some top-20 plays to parlay together. The Open is always an entertaining watch and hopefully we get some golfers in the mix come Sunday afternoon 👇

• Collin Morikawa Top-20 Finish: -185

• Ludvig Aberg Top-20 Finish: -185

• Tony Finau Top-20 Finish: +135
