The Open Golf Betting

Founded in 1860 in Scotland, The Open Championship, also referred to as The Open or the British Golf Open, is the oldest golf tournament in the world, making it one of the most prestigious competitions to win on the PGA Tour. Unlike some other golf competitions, The Open moves around each year, taking in the sights of the historic St Andrews course in Scotland one year, then maybe the Royal St George's Golf Club in Kent the next. As it is the fourth and final major of the golfing calendar, this is your last chance to bet on some of the biggest names in golf going head to head at this ultimate showpiece event.

The Open Championship Odds & Favourites

Over 100 players will be competing for The Golf Champion Trophy this year, and LiveScore Bet offers a range of Open Championship odds and markets, including the outright winner, end-of-round leader, top finishes, a variety of specials and a whole lot more.

Let’s look at the betting odds on The Open Golf to see who might claim victory this year:

Rory Mcilroy

Rory McIlroy won his first British Open at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club, and he is the firm favourite to win this year's event in July. A multiple-time majors winner already, will this be the year the Northern Irishman adds another championship to his CV?

Jon Rahm

Jon Rahm was the 2023 Masters winner, and the 2021 U.S. Open winner will be looking to claim victory at The Open Championship in this year’s tournament. The Spaniard finished tied for third place in 2021 and is a strong favourite to clinch success this time around.

Jordan Spieth

Slightly outside the favourites, former World Number One Jordan Spieth will be looking to lift the Claret Jug again following his 2017 victory and will be looking to go one better than his agonising runner-up finish in the 2021 tournament. Will this be the year Spieth is once again proclaimed "The Champion Golfer of the Year"?

Dustin Johnson

Despite winning two of the four major championships in his career, Dustin Johnson has never won The Open Championship. The best he has achieved was sharing runner-up once in 2011 alongside Phil Mickelson. Priced longer at The British Open odds, could it finally be his time to secure this elusive victory?

How to bet on The Open Championship

Outright Betting

The most popular bet for The British Open is typically placing a wager on the outright winner. This can be risky though, as golf is an unforgiving sport, and one good hole doesn’t guarantee another good hole. However, the outright market offers lots of value with underdog betting, as tournament winners in golf are often an outsider.

End of Round Leader

The beauty of golf tournaments is that they are played over multiple days and rounds. This means someone can have a fantastic first day, but then be nowhere near the front of the leaderboard on the final day. This is why LiveScore Bet offers The Open end-of-round leader market, where you can bet on who you think will be in first place at the end of each round.

Live & In-play Betting

In addition to betting on outrights and specials before the tournament starts, at LiveScore Bet, you can also bet on The Open Championship in-play while the round is ongoing. Have you spotted an outsider making moves on the green? Bet in-play and see your backed golfer go all the way!
