Favorites to win Open Championship at SugarHouse Sportsbook
1. Rory McIlroy (+900)
The winner of the 2014 iteration of the British Open, McIlroy is SugarHouse’s favorite this time around. He won the Players Championship back in March and also won the Canadian Open last month. He’s finished in the top-10 in 10 of his 13 PGA Tour appearances this season, so he’s certainly in a good position to make some noise this time around.
2. Brooks Koepka (+1000)
Koepka has performed WELL in the three majors to be played so far this season. He won the PGA Championship back in May and was the runner-up in the Masters and U.S. Open. Like always, he’ll be a popular bet – currently receiving upwards of 20% of the handle at DraftKing Sportsbook – and based on his past performances, he just might make a run at this one.
3. Jon Rahm (+1400)
Despite missing the cut in two of the last three tournaments he’s participated in (including the PGA Championship), Rahm has had a strong showing of late. After winning the Zurich Classic of New Orelans, he finished third in the US Open behind Brooks Koepka and champion Gary Woodland. Rahm will be looking for his first major championship.
4. Dustin Johnson (+1600)
Johnson will look to rebound from a rough stretch of tournaments of late. After finishing in the top 10 in 8 of 11 appearances, he finished 35th at the US Open and missed the cut at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Still, he was the runner-up at the Masters and the PGA Championship this season and won WGC-Mexico Championship in February. He’ll be looking for his 2nd major title after winning the US Open in 2016.
5. Tiger Woods (+1800)
Tiger will be looking to continue his resurgent string of success this weekend. His memorable win at the Masters is by far the best moment of this PGA Tour season. After missing the cut at the PGA Championship, he placed 9th at the Memorial Tournament, and then finished 21st at the US Open. Tiger will look to claim his 4th British Open victory, having last won it in 2006. It would also be his 16th major win, two more behind Jack Nicklaus for the most major championships in PGA Tour history.
