The Open Championship Golf Matchups - Bet on PGA Tour

The Open Championship PGA Matchup Odds

Golf’s best will assemble this week in Scotland for the 152nd edition of The Open Championship, the fourth and final major of the season. The oldest tournament around heads to Royal Troon Golf Club, which hosts for the 10th time overall and the first since 2016 when Henrik Stenson prevailed over Phil Mickelson. Those two veterans are among the more than 150 players in the field battling for the Claret Jug. Early odds have world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler as the outright favorite with Rory McIlroy second. The favorites don’t always win and that was especially true last year when Brian Harman surprised everyone with a six-shot victory while boasting odds of around 118/1 for his first victory in a major. Golf’s marquee events open a larger betting market with a number of head to head matchups on the board. Visit BookMaker.eu for updated odds when you’re ready to place a wager.

Need to Know

A regular in the rotation, Royal Troon Golf Club hosts for the first time since 2016 and the 10th time overall. Not much has changed since Henrik Stenson registered the lowest 72-hole winning score of 264 eight years ago. Some distance has been added to the track putting it at 7,385 yards, about 200 yards longer. No. 6 received some of that yardage stretching it to 623 yards making it the longest hole in Open history. Unchanged is the “Postage Stamp” where we could see a hole-in-one since it’s only about 120 yards and could play under 100 yards at some point. Those who played the Scottish Open last week got a links test, but nothing compares to the challenges ahead. Not only are the elements a factor it is a major with a win defining someone’s career. For good reason there hasn’t been a repeat champ at The Open since Padraig Harrington in 2007 and 2008.

The Open Championship Matchup Picks

Ludvig Aberg +106 vs. Collin Morikawa

I wasn’t sure betting against Morikawa was a good idea, but Aberg has been money this season and his price helped convince me. Aberg held the lead after 54 holes last week but closed with a 73 to fall into a tie for fourth, his sixth top 5 finish since the fall season. He’s been good in big events, too, earning a runner-up at the Masters, solo eighth at THE PLAYERS and a T12 last month at the US Open.

Tony Finau -120 vs. Patrick Cantlay

It feels like it’s Finau’s time. He enters on a heater with three straight top 5s that came after a run of two top 20s with two of those starts in a major. We saw Xander Schauffele win his first major at the PGA Championship in May leaving Finau still in search of that breakthrough win. He’s been good in this tournament with four top 20s among six top 30s in his first six starts before a MC last year. That could be the motivation he needs.

Jon Rahm +100 vs. Tommy Fleetwood

It’s been a bad season for Rahm at the majors with a MC at the PGA Championship and a T45 at the Masters. He missed the US Open due to a foot injury. He appears to be fully healed and continued his run of top 10s on LIV Golf with a T3 and T10 in his last two starts. And you can’t overlook what he’s done in The Open posting two podiums and a T11 in his last three starts.

Aaron Rai -110 vs. Sungjae Im

Another player arriving in tremendous form is Rai giving me enough to back him. Following a slow start, things turned around for him with a T4 at the CJ CUP Byron Nelson. He parlayed that into a current streak of five top 25s with a T7 or better in each of his last three starts. He closed last week’s Scottish Open with a 63 to finish T4 after a T7 at the John Deere Classic and co-runner-up at the RMC. In his first Open he finished T19 in 2021 at Royal St. George’s.

Xander Schauffele +100 vs. Rory McIlroy

I have to back Schauffele based on recent results. He’s the only player to finish among the top 10 in all three majors and got his first title at the PGA Championship. There hasn’t been a letdown and he hasn’t experienced the meltdowns McIlroy had in his last two starts. He’ll play this course for the first time, but Schauffele is 6 for 6 in The Open with four top 20s in his career.
